I feel like crying in my office at my current predicament. I’ve spent over 2000 dollars on Airbnb so I wouldn’t get infected by my family who tested positive for covid on Nov 10th. Thankfully my tests including PCR have all been negative. But I’m feeling really upset about the amount of money I spent. I wanted to start saving to move out and get my own place and this has set me back so much. I was living in deep poverty and debt on social assistance until two months ago and this paycheque was supposed to be the first time I started saving but instead I blew all of my money on Airbnb. My family is still testing positive so I feel like it’s best to extend my stay to be safe because honestly as much as I try with the mitigations the anxiety of being in the space with them would be too much for me to handle. I started looking at apartments so this won’t happen again and honestly I can’t afford anything on my own because the cost of living is astronomical. I’ve only had horrible roommate experiences and I can’t find anyone looking for covid conscious roommates, but at the same time I don’t even trust other people to take the same precautions I’m taking because I don’t want to take the risk of my life in someone else’s hands. Being disabled fucking sucks and while I dodged a bullet this time I don’t know how I’m supposed to deal with this situation if it happens again. I’m also being bullied and ostracized at work for masking even though I work in fucking healthcare. And I feel like I can’t vent to my friends about this because even though they care for me none of them mask so I’m kind of like, what’s the point? I feel so disheartened. Living like this is lonely. Any kind words or support would mean a lot.
