I don’t have any tips and I’m sorry. I know New Hope Housing was established to provide affordable housing for individuals and I believe the YMCA can be used for showering (I think it’s about $25/month). The Beacon downtown has laundry facilities.

Like literally homeless or just unable to afford a house and hence renting?

Literally homeless. When I first came here, I was staying in an abandoned house with no hot water and no air conditioning. I don’t really have money for groceries right now. I have a place but I need to find all the tips that I can to be able to eat and shower and care for myself to hold my job in case I do get evicted.

Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.
