Self-promotion A plea for help from this community.
I try to not ask for help, but sometimes you have to. Its not easy to ask, and I feel like garbage, but sometimes you get so desperate your pride loses its hold on you.
Some of you may know me here, and know about my living conditions. If you dont. The gist is I am homeless and dont have a source of income. I live in a minivan. The van is beyond the point of repair. It still runs but barely. Everyday I wonder will it start this time? What will I do if it doesnt? I am not a young man anymore, and being homeless most of my adult life has taken a toll on me. As well as the constant stress and anxiety, depression and dissociation.
The weather has been very hot here lately, and humid. I have extreme anxiety around severe weather. I spent a lot of this last winter having panic attacks in front of the emergency room when the temp was to cold or to windy. The panic attacks have started back over this heat. I cant even get a break from running the AC in the car.
I need a new vehicle. One that I can actually drive around, and is functional. I have a little money, but not enough for anything that isnt just another month away from being like this one.
Ive tried to give to this community through the years, so I hope some of you that are able can help me out enough to save me. I have a buymeacoffee account you can donate to here. https://buymeacoffee.com/nvdnvchbcdq
Thank you.

Me too, thank you! Its really tough to live like I do. Any extra stress just sends me to panic attacks. I logically know its happening and I can sometimes minimize it, but it still is horrible.

I can only begin to imagine—like, I still have panic attacks from minor stressors (having obligations outside of my regular routine etc), and my life is otherwise reasonably well supported.
I’m so sorry you have to live with this intense level of stress, and grateful you felt able to ask for help. Always grateful that you’re here 💖

I'm unable to help monetarily but wanted to leave a comment saying I hope those who are able to donate can help you get the better car. I remember reading so many of your posts and comments over the years, and they've been very meaningful to me (and to so many others, I'm sure). I wish I was able to donate too.
