Seeing double, or running around with one of your eyes closed, because you can’t afford glasses with prism correction. Or going without glasses altogether when you badly need them.

Family tells you it is okay if they don’t receive a Christmas present because the lack of funds, adds to guilt and anxiety.

hating yourself for asking for help, because you know how many times you’ve had to do it before.

“what do you mean you’re poor? you’re on a computer.”
i have heard this so many times, because, apparently, owning a computer (which is a one time cost), means that you must be shitting gold bricks.

For reasons most people might think are weird or irrelevant or might not even understand at all why it’s an issue.

Whatever my oxygen readings, I clearly need this stuff. Because when I got off it to fix my air conditioner, I got out of breath. Even with someone helping and doing almost all the heavy lifting.
Yay for support staff who can’t see that if there’s two spigots on the thing, then maybe just maybe you have to drain both of them if you don’t want the air conditioner leaking all...
