Depression and Poverty

I have been extremely depressed over the past three or four weeks or so. I owe so many people money, small change for some, but huge for me. I am having a hard time attending school, getting my projects done and just getting anything done at all. Hygiene falls behind, the house is a disaster. How can this go on and on and on? I don't understand just how much I have to take before all is "good" with my world. I have been analysed, panellized, socialized, penalized, normalized.
I have been monetized, Demonetized, commentized, commercialized, sensitized,  Desensitized. I don't want to visit people, I am lonely. I don't want to talk on the phone, I don't answer the phone. I don't want to discuss my issues. I need to talk to someone. This is agony. This is insane. I hate it. These meds are working? I don't think so. I am in such a state I can hardly stand it. Thank God I see the doctor this week, twice in fact... if you can imagine that! No, I can't talk to him about myself while he is doing a PaP? Are you kidding? WTF are we going to talk about...him? I could hardly believe when they called a week or so ago and asked for TWO appointments in one week. Just another money grab for the DRs vs the government. Oh ya! I got my income tax back!!!!!! A whopping $64.05. Yes, that is right! I shopped for HOURS this past week, I really was running out of ideas what to buy NEXT!
I shouldn't complain, after all...that brings my monthly income up after all, something I have to report to the fucking Ministry. Gawd I hate the Ministry, they are the worst. They withheld my massive 110.00 cheque last month because I told them I did NOT get maintenance for Dec or Jan. ummmm, I was not asking for extra from them, I was, as usual, just being an honest ass. SSSsooo, another big ass deal over nothing. So I had to spend gas money to get down-town and grab my cheque, otherwise, they did offer to mail it? Are you kidding me? So I can be without it for MORE days? omg omg OMG.
I am supposed to be studying right now, about violence against women. Ya, that is what I want to hear about. That is what I want to think about. I skipped out on the second class last week about women and poverty. I was in tears during the first one and asked Richelle if I could miss it, of course, she said. She is awesome. 
Did you know that a man demanding sex while married is considered violence? Did you know that is also considered rape? That even though I said no I really meant sure, I owe you, you own me? Did you know that a man ejaculating on your nightie while you read beside him, back to him, is considered violence? Degradation? Did you know that this shit still affects me after all these years? I know it shouldn't, but it does. I fucking well DOES!

The Golden Ticket! (from the Care a Van)

The Golden Ticket to get my sore tooth removed on Friday! This is the way it feels, but it is also not really a prize at all, it proves, that after a rather hellish stand in the snow and rain for almost two hours, that my teeth are WORSE than other peoples there. I am super stoked that I got it. I am sad for those that didn't. A senseless emotion right now, considering they already HAVE the better teeth. Wow.  Strange days indeed...will keep you in the down low later Friday after my appointment. Likely with a face full of Novocaine.

As you can see

I am obsessed with food, my body, my body image, being hungry, being sad, being obsessed. Not only am I poor financially, I am clinically depressed. I suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Borderline Personality Disorder ( BPD), Clinical Depression, Agoraphobia Good Agoraphobia Site (the most intrusive in my daily living, thoughts etc.)

Care a Van

We have in our valley a most amazing service. Dawn to Dawn is a service where there is a van that drives around looking after our homeless, our almost homeless and those in unaffordable housing. CareAVan, Comox Valley. This service is awesome and as sad as it is, I am going to have to use this service myself. I would never bump anyone who is in more need than myself. So will see how this goes on the 16th of Feb.
To all the people, volunteers and helpers, I salute you.
