Chronic Ed
@chroniced.bsky.social
Comic and/or story creator of Chronic Pain and the strife from either personal experience or learned from others. (Not a very good artist, so I will attempt to focus more on written stories and skits).
After 25 years of hell, I am free-ish. The blasted dizzy spells from the aspirin (that I took out of desperation to leave her before she made me leave) and my chronic pains from letting her control me, are going to make it bloody hard to find a new career, but at least I'll be allowed to try.

The last picture I have of my boys together. Wakko vanished from the sanctuary not long after this, and Dot about a week later. They were the only ones, besides grandkids, that went out of their way to show me any real affection in that house. I hate her, and I hate myself for staying so long.

Ok! On my...fourth month? Fifth month? Of being out of that house I am finally at the stage I can save money. It's still not enough to pay for a place to live and the deposit, but bloody close. I just need $480 more and I can have a home once again.

Wrote my final words to my ex, and am finally finished with being used and controlled...Now I just need to survive long enough to get the first semester of college done and find a better job for my health issues. Here's to a better life.

Not having to deal with my ex's hatefulness towards me has been awesome, but I still have health issues that keep me from finding a decent job, or a safe one, 😬. Meh, at least I feel better than I have in a long time.

Waiting for the blasted NSAID made GERD dizziness to abate a little so I can start trying to make money. Yeesh! Plus, only got 3 hours of sleep last night because of the NSAID made GERD coughing fits from the humidity and salty food I ate last night. Yeesh!

I just figured out without a shadow of doubt my wife of 25 years had treated me horribly not because I didn't clean, or didn't have a job, but because I was in pain. I was a weakling in her mind. Ever since 2000 when I first started coming home sore.

Probably not going to be able to find a job. Been partially homeless for about four weeks now, and only have $140 left to my name. My pains are too great, and my brain is mush, so have decided to try again for disability and food stamps. Fingers crossed the MRI next week actually finds something.

Am in way too much pain to deal with the pups and dogs, but I can't leave them outside in the storm. Anyhoo, been staying at a niece's house, and she's rarely here. Ppp! Been about three weeks since I had to get away from my soon-to-be ex. Still scared I won't survive as I just hurt so damn much.

I've been living like a homeless person for a while, and about out of money so will need to start eating at food bank type places, and save what I can to help the NSAID issues. Ex still believes I'm faking my pains, so I'm staying away from her.

While packing more things to move out, I suddenly got awashed with so many awful memories. I will be so happy to get as far away from my wife. Even if I die because I can't survive, I'll still be happy.

My wife has been overly mean to me. Fucking chronic pains forcing me to be careful hunting for a job. 🥺
June 25, 2025 at 1:55 AM
Getting closer to time. Just four more days til my dr. appt. Then I find out how much is really wrong with my body. Today the last cat will be put to sleep, to which I will be fully alone. 😪.
June 16, 2025 at 2:55 PM
Only one cat left, and she'll be put to sleep on Monday. The others are at the sanctuary, and one ran off as we didn't notice another door open. Now I am fully and completely alone. My wife is allowing me to stay til after my dr. appt. And god I hope they can help me survive. So tired.
June 14, 2025 at 2:22 AM
Argh! I can't think. Trying to make my resume better so I can try to find work to escape this house, and I just can't concentrate. GRRRR! Damn chronic pains forcing me to find easy work outside of my skillset...And damn my giving up after getting in trouble so many times when I tried before.

I honestly don't know how I'm going to survive working and living. I didn't do much today, and my whole body from my knees to my neck hurt like hell. My mind is shot. Just have to last long enough to see a doctor. That's it.

I am kind of wondering what a dissability is. I'm hunting for a job on dissability job sites, and almost all of them require a level of physical health that I needed to do electrical. I can't do that any more. 😶

I may be getting kicked out of my house (But I need to leave even if it's not so), so I'm looking for work. I'm a chronic pain sufferer, so I need something not very physically demanding if at all possible. In the comments I'll list links of things I can sell to help pay for my way.
June 10, 2025 at 2:28 AM
Ok! I've got images of my flutes, tools, computers, and math books for selling. Now I need to focus on a cover letter and resume and start looking for a job and escape this house.
June 9, 2025 at 9:07 PM
Oof! Trying to learn kotlin on android studio in hopes to make money and escape my spouse, and I really am comfuddled by it. Assembly is easier than this, HAH! The only OOP I really ever programmed heavily in was RQBasic back in the late 90's, and I'm not young any more. Just have to keep trying.

Damn it! Wife is berating me pretty hard today, which of course I've only had about four hours of sleep, which isn't helping my pains and stomach issues. Sheesh! And my mind is taking a dive badly. And there's a tear. 😪

Made some cheeseburger stuffed buns. Too bad the NSAIDs screwed up my body, as I can only taste a small amount of them, 😫.
June 7, 2025 at 12:35 AM
Felt good enough to clean, and of course the wife has to start mocking/belittling me for it. Like I don't want to clean. Yeesh! I'm the only one who wants to clean, and actively tries. It isn't my fault I'm in too much pain to be able to keep up with it all.
June 6, 2025 at 8:17 PM
I'm rather surprised. Writing it this way is actually not bad. I'll have to try writing within notebook lines more frequently.

I've started adding in the glottalized consonants, as there are enough characters for k', and tz' & ch' can be easily dealt with. However, p' & t' characters will be the most difficult. So I am using a part of t'o for the moment for the t' characters.
