Storage unit bill (two units)
Donation protected
Hello to all.
Important note before my story:
Contact information for both storage units provided at the bottom if you would like to contact them directly. Please be sure to verify December payment only, as I would prefer excess funds go to others in need.
My hope is to be able to make my monthly payments for my two storage units, due by the end of December.
For the past 14 months, I have been living in my car. I am employed at an Amazon Warehouse; currently on leave for mental health (adjusting to new meds).
Being self-sufficient is a source of pride for me but I have recently missed several weeks of work.
At the age of 39, I was finally diagnosed with an anxiety disorder thanks to the increasing awareness of neurodiversity. Intensive therapy and taking medication has been life-changing for the better but is not without temporary setbacks.
All of possessions are currently in two storage units, most notably my artwork. I do not have an emotional attachment to my furniture but my art is irreplaceable to me.
Now that my doctors and my employer are communicating with each other, I have been able to take a short leave and keep my job (as opposed to my habitual 'run away', self-destructive behavior).
My hopes are to pay my rent for the storage units for the month of December only; I should be returning to work next week.
It is not easy to let go of all of the isolating self-defense mechanisms I have mastered over the last four decades. Nonetheless, substantial progress is being made and real-life results are emerging.
If you have loved ones with behavioral or emotional hiccups, I highly recommend educating yourself about the newly emerging science behind neurodiversity.
Finding the right therapist and the right treatment have saved my life. There is hope.
