Advice and/or Help Needed on a Situation I'm In

TW: toxic and abusive behavior, mentions of an ED, Health, Mental Health, Addiction, and Homelessness.

hey ummm. so I'm 25, I'll be 26 in october. i have various physical, mental, neurological, and neurodevelopmental disabilities that make me unable to work. i have tried to hold jobs from the moment i turned 16, but inevitably would lose them for disability related reasons. I live in the United States (bummer), and i have been trying to get on disability since i was 18. i am applying for the 4th time. the only thing different now is i am not even ATTEMPTING to work, per the advice of legal professionals, doctors, and people my age who struggled the way i did. However, my living situation is.... bad.

My aunt is not a good person. i live with her and my great grandma, who - very obviously - has dementia. my grandma is not a problem to live with. i love her with all my heart, she always been good to me, loved and accepted me, she helped raise me, she has been a light in my life from the very beginning. the only thing that sucks is watching her memory fade. i am always patient and kind, i know she still loves me now, but sometimes i can tell she is lost. my aunt (great aunt, therefore, my great grandma's daughter) is legally her caretaker.

My aunt is being catfish scammed. point blank. my aunt is on disability. and she is being scammed. i have told her for SIX YEARS!!! that these "men" do not love her. they are not coming here. they are not going to marry her and whisk her away and take her to a mansion in Florida. they are simply taking her money. she does not listen to me. my aunt spends all of her AND MY GRANDMAs money on these men. i want to report her, but if i do.... nobody in the family will get to see my grandma. my grandma will suffer alone and be panicked and scared at the hands of the state. atleast, not until they clear it up.... but im not sure my grandma has that much time left.

i have not told my aunt im attempting to get on disability again. she will insist i attempt to work part time, that it will convince them to put me on it (because it worked for her, even tho she got on SSDI - not SSI - at 55). my aunt is stubborn. very much an "im always right" person. very manipulative.

i have ARFID, but i am vastly in recovery/remission. there are very few foods that i ABSOLUTELY CANNOT eat. i also have severe food allergies, that my aunt is insistent arent real. she has tried to poison my food to prove a point. luckily, i always smelled the food allergy that she deliberately put in it.

she is convinced that the reason we really cant afford food is the economy (yes-ish. groceries are expensive. when i did live alone and work, i couldnt afford much. but i still got enough to last till my next paycheck on low income and no foodstamps.) and not the fact she sends hundreds of dollars every week to strange men.

she refuses to buy the very cheap and easy groceries that i do like (grandma likes them too, so they wouldnt go uneaten), and im not allowed to have the things in the house that i like (because she MIGHT make a meal with it, maybe in the next few months. i have offered to cook these meals, she refuses to let me because "i overspice it", she cant even handle a grain of salt.), and she insists i eat the kidney beans (top 5 ARFID shitlist, i will vomit and im severely emetophobic), carrots (ARFID shitlist also), and the frozen chili she made five years ago (its five years old, and also it has a food allergen in it.). she gets mad when MY MOM buys me HYGEINE PRODUCTS instead of buying groceries for "the whole house" (by that i mean, groceries my aunt likes), despite my mom not living here and having a whole household to support. my aunt also believes disability, in and of itself, can be "overcome". very much an "well I did it, you can too!!". mind you, she doesnt. its impossible. woman didnt clean out the fridge for SEVEN YEARS!!!! until i did it. but no yeah, she overcame disability because she mowed her lawn and then couldnt move for 2 weeks.

i eat regular and balanced meals. i do chores. i do my own laundry. i cook. i clean the house. i take care of the animals. i run errands. i just cant work because everytime i do.... thats all i can do. i work and then come home and sleep till my next shift. nothing else. i dont eat. i dont drink water. i dont bathe. i dont take my meds. im in too much pain and fatigued.

my aunt is trying to starve me. my trich is getting worse. ive resorted to eating the food i like anyways and just gaslighting my aunt. (my grandma always takes my side bc shes never known me to be a liar or have ill intent. thanks grandma, you're a real one.)

i dont have anywhere i can go without income. i live in a very small town. so any advice is helpful.

CITY OF ANGELS

Donald Trump has authorized 2,000 National Guard troops to be used against protesters, whose goal was to put a stop to ICE's kidnapping raids.

Being undocumented is not a criminal offense in the United States of America.

i think my favorite thing about Chifuyu, Baji, and Ryusei is they have less than a third of a braincell when combined. no one is ever sure who has it because the person who may need it most never does. and also, i think Ryusei took it with him when he moved away.

either that or Peke J is playing with it like a sad ball of yarn. im unsure, ill get back to y'all when i figure it out.

NEW PAZURIBE ART AND VIDEO REVEALED FOR THE HALF ANNIVERSARY!!!

[thestraydogsarehere]

Hiii! Do you have a favourite official art? If so what one is your favourite.

Mine is definitely the tokyo revengers exhibition when they are in suits (Mikey, Izana, and Sanzu fr ate not gonna lie).

Those are good choices! Though honestly I'm not sure what mine would be. I really like the second exhibition outfits

But I feel like my favourite official art would probably be one of the sketches, we just seem to get a lot of cute moments from these but I have no idea which one I would pick as my favourite.

[thestraydogsarehere]

literally 💔

manjiro sano i love u dearly

Really love how future Mikey's racer colour is red, his character colour. Also matches the helmet he first wore as a kid too

Like how it started vs how it's going

[thestraydogsarehere]

so glad they kept Ran's sevenhead.

New tokyo revengers art has been released!!!!

[thestraydogsarehere]

Tokyo Revengers Headcanons!

(Decided to just throw everybody into one)

Chifuyu took his daughter to an anime convention. He dressed up as Tanjiro, and she was Nezuko. He spent the entire day avoiding Zenitsu cosplayers like the plague.

Hakkai is actually pretty good at snowboarding. He only found that out when he was too scared to go down a hill, and Taiju pushed him. (Only time he's been thankful for Taiju's bullying.)

Naoto gaslights Takemichi into believing there's a ghost in his house by moving things around and making weird sounds at night. Takemichi eats this up, ofc. He believes that if time travel is real, then so are ghosts.

Shinichiro got set up on a blind date. He waited two hours for her, but she never showed up. Their date was actually supposed to be the next day, but he was just so excited he forgot the actual time.

Koko and Inui go missing every winter. They turn their phones off and spend the season in Hawaii.

South and Rindou aren't allowed in karaoke bars anymore. South gets carried away and treats the tables like a stage, they fold under his weight. Rindou’s only there for the drinks and gets super rowdy, matching South's energy. Overall, it's the noise complaints that get them banned.

Mikey packed a suitcase full of snacks when he visited America for a race. When TSA tried to take them, he made a scene.

Taiju is actually good friends with Gordon Ramsay. He even made a guest appearance on MasterChef.

Baji got Cheeto dust in Sanzu's hair, and it sent Sanzu into a mental spiral. Hakkai had a fan try to get him to sign a picture of him from his Toman days. Rightfully so, he got a little creeped out and froze up. Yuzuha had to escort him away.

Ran and Rindou went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Rindou went missing for two nights straight. Ran eventually found him passed out in the bathtub of their hotel room, his neck decorated with beads. (NOLA bounce changed Rindou's life.)

Wakasa has mastered the ability to block out anyone’s voice, specifically Takeomi. He does it by accident a lot, too. He’s had dates walk out on him because of it.

Takemichi tried swimming in six feet of water and nearly drowned. It was a pool party, btw. Nobody noticed until his head was completely underwater.

When Sanzu and Senju first started getting attention for their channel, people thought they were a couple and made ship edits of them. Nobody lets them live it down.

Mitsuya foams at the mouth whenever a celebrity isn’t on theme for the Met Gala. He's worse than a drunk dad watching the Super Bowl. When Shinichiro walked Emma down the aisle, he tripped on her dress and nearly took her out.

Kazutora watches horror movies and gameplays at night with his back facing the closet. It's not that he doesn’t believe in ghosts, he's just overly confident he could take one on.

Emma and Kakucho do yoga together. He recommended it to help her back pain, and they ended up really enjoying each other’s company.

Takemichi tried hopping a fence and got his underwear stuck. He was suspended there with the worst wedgie of his life for a good five seconds. (Mikey and Draken just stood and laughed.)

Baji's mom signed him up for every sport she could find to burn his energy. Basketball, soccer, football, baseball. She eventually gave up and put him in a dojo. (It didn't help.)

Sanzu and Senju did a meet and greet. A fan sneezed and then tried to shake Sanzu’s hand. (He doesn’t do meet and greets anymore.)

When Rindou had his first kiss, her hair got stuck in his braces.

Pah is surprisingly good at singing, specifically opera.

Izana woke up and found Mikey in his bed several times. He’d move to the couch, only to wake up with Mikey right beside him again.

Koko does synchronized swimming and refuses to let anyone know. Not even Inui.

Ryoko sent Baji to a sleep-away summer camp, and they sent him right back.

Mana and Luna showed Mitsuya AI art of a dress made of diamonds and he fully believed it.

Mucho had to teach almost everybody how to drive. Each dent on his car is from a different person.

Smiley has always wanted a big dog, but Angry is afraid of them, so their family is stuck with those tiny, crusty white dogs that live forever.

Ran is always backseat driving whenever Rindou’s behind the wheel, but he absolutely refuses to drive anywhere himself.

Koko tells his kids he’ll hold their money for them. (They never see it again.)

Someone keeps sending Baji threats promising revenge. (It’s Sanzu.)

Koko bet a fuck ton of money on the gender of Emma’s baby. He had to leave the baby shower to collect himself after seeing that pink/blue confetti.

It took Grandpa Sano a week to realize Izana had moved in.
