(111,315 posts)I slept most of Saturday and the only reason I got up was to feed the cat. I collapsed while I was in the kitchen and I was on the floor for about 45 minutes while I made several attempts to get up. The fights with my brother have turned into physical violence since he is angry with me because I was trying to show him how to fill out a simple form on the computer to apply for a job. He has placed all of the burden upon me to find him a job and also apply for VA disability benefits while he continues with the verbal abuse and physical violence. I doubt that I'll be on DU much longer since I'm probably going to be homeless again within a few weeks.
I'm trying to think outside the box to find income such as donating blood plasma, selling the printer for my computer, looking into couch-surfing, and selling other assets such as books and business clothing. I might be able to bring in a few hundred dollars, but it doesn't look good. I've already investigated other social services in town, but they can't provide any other assistance than what I'm getting already. The only other assets that could raise money are selling the laptop that I'm using, selling my college class ring, or selling some of the insulin I have on the black market which is obviously illegal and a last desperate resort.
I can't even apply for jobs for myself or undertake some of the ideas that I have since my cellphone was destroyed in the latest fight. I order a new phone, but I won't receive it until about two weeks from now. I'm relying on email and Facebook to contact anyone.
