Is anyone else in the same situation?
I'm originally from Australia, Coober Pedy ( A small opal mining town in the bush of Oz ) and I live with my boyfriend now in the U.S ( Alabama ) - I've never been very rich and I've always lived in the ghetto, before this where I lived wasn't much better and times have always been tough; I'm just used to it.. But times have become a little tougher and I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me? I have a condition where more than half an hour in the sun starts to become dangerous and can even be lethal. My skin burns so badly that it bleeds and of course that's very very bad. It's kind of like dumping hot oil on your skin and well, you get the idea.. I can't really work because of this condition ( There are no jobs that are safe for a woman at night here ) and as such I rely on my boyfriend to support for me.. Unfortunately with the economy the way it's been, we've been unable to do really anything.. Making roughly $700 USD every two weeks most money goes towards rent ( $360 ), food ( About $140-160 ) and bills ( $200 ) leaving us essentially nothing left.. Of course I shop and search for bargain prices and never pay "top dollar" if I can avoid it but it's rather distressing. I used to be rather large and lost a lot of weight so my old clothes don't fit me anymore ( I'm very slim now, perfectly so ) and back when I didn't live with my boyfriend money was tight as well.. I had one outfit, a single pair of jeans, a single shirt, a single bra and a single pair of panties. That was essentially it.. Now I have three outfits ( Only three ) one of which I can't wear a lot of the time ( Because it's too cold ) and I'm just wondering if anyone is in the same situation and if they find it as irritating as I do to be unable to really wear anything different every day? I still wear those jeans, that same shirt and only have one bra and pair of underwear ( Yes I wash them constantly ) - Certainly wish I had more.. Anyone else got it hard like me?
