Hey, folks-
One of our regulars around here needs your consideration.
Allan is getting his life back together… his real life, not the cartoon one where he sold a computer to The Buckets or competed in the Great Stanky Creek OutdoorFest.

I’m sorry to see that Allan is having this much trouble. My own situation is complicated, but I’ll see if there’s a way I can help somehow.
TSOJ – as mentioned, even the smallest amount helps, and just sending prayers/thoughts and a message here will help boost my spirits.
One thing I didn’t post in the GFM page is: I’ve been suffering chronic moderate to severe depression for the last 4 and a half years. This last year has been the worst, and I’ve thought about suicide more times than I can count. Anyway … just want to say thank you to you, and Greg, who’s been helpful in the past in many ways.
I love this community, friendships, and niceness that flows from Team Hubris.
Check out some of those places I posted in earlier message on another entry. They’re all in your area and some provide quite a bit of help across wide spectrum, that I most certainly think you qualify for. I’ve been here and done this including Prozac and Valium (and others) and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Some of those places provide medical assistance, transportation, rent subsidy, utilities subsidy, clothing, food, legal. I took the help when I needed it, I was glad to get off it, and I have given back to some of those types of places in gratitude afterwards. You can do it.
Oh, I’ve checked them all. MCS is where I get my monthly income that is supposed to ‘support’ me.
The rest I’ve used at various times. Most don’t offer convenient times or locations, and since I don’t have a car, or bus pass, getting to most of them is impossible, as they are 15+ kilometres away.
Any churches closer to you with support? Sometimes they can at least help with transport, even a volunteer with vehicle, to get you to an appointment. I scrubbed dishes at many a church after a doings of theirs to help pay back for someone helping me with something like that. Commodity dole kept me alive a few times when foodstamps (now called SNAP here) didn’t help…. there has to be a way, mon. (yes I know about crappy hours, offices on Left Armpit drive, Nowhere, and nobody there when they’re supposed to be there…. Hang in there!
