I'm so sorry to hear that, dear. My messages are always open if you feel you need to talk. Thinking of you <3

Thank you, I appreciate that beep-friend. <3

Online friends are still real friends, I know plenty of people who have said that it was those friends who helped them get through the toughest spots. You have been a wonderful friend, for all the years I have known you.

And yeah, getting COVID is quite the experience, after all that you have been through and then getting it when you hardly have direct contact with any significant amount of people would do that to anyone. Don't feel fell ashamed of how it made you feel. It too is the worst sort of illness I have had to experience.

You mentioned that your mom isn't as financially stable as you'd like, is there a means and I feel like that is the most critical thing that might be weighing on you. Is there something you can do to still move and support her. Or are there government aid options?

Moving out might be a good option for both of you honestly, it sounds like the house is pretty isolated from the main town. I don't know what your housing market is like, but maybe a new place closer to town might help. Unless your mom is doing remote work or able to work.

I know I am spit balling and I know you might have thought of these things. And it also depends if the home is owned or still in a mortgage, I am just trying to think of options.

I'd consider you one of my best friends, and you were one of the first consistent friends I had when I discovered the furry community at the end of high school and was starting to be active online after I graduated and was getting ready for college.

*Hugs* you will always have my ear, and I'll try to poke you more often with whatever I think you will enjoy.

Agree with Adleisio

Try to meet up with online friends, even if you do not have enough money or for some reason ashamed of how you are living your live - they are still real friends, they can visit you, and they would appreciate to know you better. Not everyone, maybe, but sometimes one person is enough.

It is valid way of socializing, if opinion from internet-stranger can be valid (married for 10 years on my online friend, btw, had similar issues you described. Still have some, to be honest, yet she gave me enough comfort and trust to live this life and became better version of myself)

Thank you for the kind words, being a kindred spirit about our ordeals and amazing that you met your wife as an online friend. <3

Your online friends are still your friends, certainly, but I absolutely encourage you to spread your wings and get out there more, meet folks, etc. Please take care of yourself.

Yeah, I worded it wrong. Online friends are validest of the valid. Trying my best to!

Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully things get better soon.

COVID sucks, I got it a few months back and it sucked. Absolutely the worst experience of my life and I hated every second of it.

Online friends are still friends, even if you may not realize that. I have many Online friends and they help me out with just staying sane (I'm very much a social person, although I'm rather shy in person). You shouldn't doubt your online friends (atleast if you don't have a good reason to), I'd recommend reaching out to new people, maybe attend some things If you can.

Hope things get better for you. (Also PS, I love your stuff, been a long time watcher.)

I've been through mental hardships myself, you're not alone.

Never easy dealing with the hurdles of life. Glad you survived the jump; I'm sure your mother appreciates it :)

*hugs*am glad you're here

I can't imagine the pain you were going through to get to that point, I'm so sorry. >: I hope you continue to heal in every element of your being.
I'm also going to be trying to iron out my identity in terms of mental health so I can manage it better. You're not alone <3 Here's hoping things start to look up for you.

XD .. I hope the redact was your own

It was!

It is pretty late to comment after reading it and also being quite moved by it while at a low point for me last month. I just wanted to say that your situation is quite similar to mine, and It's been a struggle for me to slowly start the ball rolling to improving my own life. To escape the confines of my own household, and being independent and mobile has been a monetary grind whilst I'm studying for the third time again. I really hope you the best, and see you in better and happier state in time!

Hey, sorry to hear. You got it this time!
I applied for remote work to hopefully be able to assist in paying for a home remodel, to help my mother instead.
