I'm not making my PayPal public (only sending to folks I know), so the best way for most of y'all to support me is contributing to my Patreon.

I appreciate support from Twitch subs and bits, but keep in mind that if your goal is to support me those are two of the most expensive ways to do it.

What I make from Twitch, Patreon, occassional music commissions, and Bandcamp have been my only consistent incomes for the past 3 years, and I've detailed further up thread as to why; being an online entertainer is what I got.

[7/7] If you want to just hand me money directly, and we know each other, I will happily provide my PayPal (for my own paranoid privacy, desperate tho I may be for cash, PayPal link is not something I want released publicly)

[6/7] Being an internet entertainer is what I got. If you want to support me long term, the absolute best way is contributing to my Patreon; second best way is buying my music on Bandcamp.

[5/7] Not helping further that both kinds of jobs are where I don't really have much freedom to go to the bathroom at my discretion, which has a greater impact on my mental health the older I get. Sad part is I am legitimately very good at customer service work, it's just very taxing on my brain.

[4/7]... being stuck inside a dusty, stuffy warehouse with no air conditioning (not helped by my ADHD and anti-depression meds mean I sweat less easily, which is a dangerous trait to have while working somewhere with no air conditioning).

[3/7] I don't have it in me anymore to fill out 30-60 job applications for jobs I won't even get an interview for, and the ones I may get an interview for either involve customer service of some kind (including Tier 1 IT support) or...

[2/7]... almost every job I've ever had in my adult life has ended with me hitting a massive wall of burnout in direct connection to that job, and I can't do that again.

now for fuller explanation [1/7]: The easiest jobs for me to get right now are the exactly the kind of jobs that I don't think my mental health can survive another of. Maybe I'm just too sensitive or weak or whatever, I dunno, but...

I have finally sat down to create a goal for this procedure. Idk just how much it will cost me but I made the goal high just in case. I plan to speak with the urologist later today to discuss this.
