RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Speaking of that...
There's not much places I can go anywhere fun alone cuz I don't have a driver's license
And I need a doctor to fill some forms before I can even get a learner's permit cuz Pennsylvania has stupid laws that requires a medical exam... like wtf? Like I'm not piloting a fucking airplane ffs...
And cuz I have depression, the doc was like: "ummm... maybe seek help for depression first because you might get a panic attack and crash while trying to drive" (they didn't literally say that, but that's how I interpreted it)
And I also still have yet to get a Passport, I really want proof of citizenship before feeling safe outside... cuz ICE is being asshats "shoot first ask later" mentality
And to get a passport, I need someone to drive me there...
And then my parents are busy... so do I take a uber there? what a waste of money...
(That's on top of my anxiety issues)
Calm yourself, dude. You are getting yourself in a dither, get out of your own head. Try meditation, or do something nice for someone else. I mean this from a place of love.
I’m going to touch on two items : one is the drivers license, I personally believe it should be a lot harder to get a drivers license than what it is in the United States. I think it’s way too easy. I’ve been driving for over 30 years now and the crazy and stupid stuff I’ve seen yeah it should be harder to get a drivers license. Medical exam for drivers license , I think it’s a good idea.
The second one that I’m going to touch on is if a doctor is literally telling you to seek help it might be a good idea to seek help.
Oh well, my parents are busy I cant go anywhere without them driving me to places...
I'll have to see when they're available before I can travel around places...
You just described how life works. You have to do it the hard way first so that you appreciate it when you get it easier way.
