this is a last resort so I’ll try to keep it as short as possible
I’m struggling for money, a lot. I don’t have any, I’ve used all my savings, and ive only just got a job last week but they “aren’t taking payment details right now” so I have no idea when I’ll get paid.
I’m a lesbian w ptsd, ocd, depression and anxiety. I live at home with my parents, who dont have much money either. they’ve helped me literally as much as they can, but they have nothing to spare. while my parents still love me, they don’t support the idea of me being a lesbian and have attributed it to me being on tumblr and talking to my friends on here, so a lot of my internet access is limited and monitored and my phone is taken away when I go to bed.
as a very brief breakdown, my healthcare costs between £170 - £320 a month, due to medication and therapy, which I struggle very much without. currently I’m only having therapy for my ptsd as it’s the most presenting issue, but I’m unable to have any sessions right now because of the cost, which is £80 an hour. my parents are having to help pay for my prescriptions but the other day mum told me they’re overdrawn and they don’t know where they’re going to get the money to pay it off
my main concern however, is my dog. he’s an 8 month old labrador, and as of a few days ago he was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia, so he has an issue with all four of his legs. the bill just to get him checked out and get pain medication was £123, and he’s booked in for 2 weeks time to have an x-ray and potentially surgery depending on what they find, which will be a whole lot more expensive, and this is just for his elbows. they’ve said they want to wait to see what happens with his hips, but that he will end up with painful arthritis when he’s older, and there’s very little they can do to fix elbow dysplasia so it’s something he’ll need pain medication to manage for the rest of his life. he’s upset because he can’t go for long walks or run around, as after about 5 minutes he gets so lame that he can hardly walk at all and can’t eat his food unless I hand feed him while he lays down.
my parents are currently paying for his insurance but it’s expensive (and will go up if we claim for his surgery) and they would like me to take over paying it now that I have a job. that combined with the hypoallergenic food he needs will cost around £100 a month, and work only want me to work part time for the next few months. I’m on minimum wage so I can’t cover it. while my therapy and medication is important, I cannot live without my dog. he’s my best friend and is honestly the only thing keeping me alive
I could go on but this is long enough as it is so if you could please even just reblog this it would mean the world.
bonus - here’s my boy!
