The entire situation is fucked, and is about me trying to get an abusive TTI facility investigated. But everything I’m reading online suggests that my life is pretty much over.

    I’m afab and nb, and I’ve had free legal help (in my case it wasn’t even a partner, just a roomie). I’m not sitting here trying to deny your situation, but you need to look at it from a different angle to get the help you need.

    Give the very bare minimum info when you message a lawyer, because most automatically screen. Bare info is your name and the other party name, plus the type of suit. If they have time for you they will let you know, sometimes they’ll refer you.

    I hear you on the job fears, especially because the US is signaling a reduction of force. It’s valid, and I’m really sorry you are experiencing this. Holy shit, that sucks

      Bruh I’ve already called dozens of lawyers.

      AFABs don’t mean shit where I live, we have the highest incarceration right in the states for people defending themselves against abuse.

      I’m just going to kill myself I think. All of the advice is shit I’ve already done, now I’m unhirable and there is no help.

        What is keeping you there? I know it costs money to move, but. People get paid under the table everywhere.

        You can rebuild if you want. I know it takes work. Ask me how I fucking know it takes work.

        What you are going through sucks. Like I said I’m not denying that. There are ways out though

        I’ve been actively suicidal before and it sucks, so I’m not gonna give you any “permanent solution to a temporary problem” bullshit. But what I learned in my extensive research is that it’s really hard to effectively kill yourself. If anything goes sideways, it’s pretty likely that you not only won’t die but your life will be way way worse. You think you’re unhirable now, just wait until you have a hypoxic brain injury.

        As the kids on tiktok were saying for a bit: suicide is cringe, don’t kill yourself

        Do you have anyone in your life you trust to talk to about this?
