I am creating this post to serve as a reference point for anyone interested in supporting me/donate to me through different means than Hive. I don't want this to become a sob story of a post. So I will get straight to the point and share what is happening to me which prompted me to make this post.
Now, if you know me then you are probably aware that I have been ill for a few months now. The details of my illness aren't something that I will be disclosing now as the situation is more complicated on one side and I am just not comfortable sharing it on the other. They're also not the bigger part of the story.
Due to certain events in my life, many of which I talked about here on Hive, I grew up with a certain level of depression and anxiety. It used to be a real problem before, but as time went by I learned to have a better lid on it. Still, it is one of the things I was planning to see professionals about as self-treatment could only get you so far. So, that's another aspect.
I have been trying to have more time for my mental health and doing stuff I like. Stuff like finishing my books and stories but as I found out this week that even taking a few hours away snowballs into me running behind days of work. And honestly, I just want to have those few extra hours to do things I like, or at least do one thing at a time.
You see, the last few months have been made up of me doing 2-3 things at the same time as otherwise, I wouldn't have more than a few hours of sleep if any. My whole social life has been reduced to shows on Discord and Twitter space. And even during those, I'd be doing other stuff.
I could be watching a show but also writing a post while doing my online work. And as exhausting as all of that has been, I was still able to pull through. But, now it seems to be reaching a dead end.
This is the pinnacle of the post really. In real life, I have 3 different jobs, all of which I do mostly from home. Unfortunately, due to different circumstances, I found my income from all three jobs cut down drastically to less than half. I have been able to parachute for a while by using my Hive income, but even that is starting to run out, and even if I dry up the entire account it would buy me 1-2 months at best.
The job situation is hanging me by a thread as it is not bringing in much to live on but still offers more than nothing in the face of a lack of other options.
I tried to keep things to a minimum to avoid extra details. I also created this post to include it in future posts instead of the address to every wallet.

I understand. I grew up with someone who underwent an insane level of abuse in their childhood... and I ended up with something called 'vicarious trauma' (a kind of PTSD when a child takes on someone else's trauma) because I became so close to this person, and I'm naturally empathetic, that I've ended up with some serious lifelong depression/anxiety issues. Anyway, I'm only telling you this in the hopes that a problem shared might be a problem halved as the saying goes. I know it doesn't work that way, but I suppose mainly I'm just telling you this so you know you're not alone.
Anyway, enough of that stuff. Words might not help when you're simply so overworked that you've no time/space (or financial resources) to give yourself the break that you so desperately need. I have also experienced how bad it can get when clinical depression takes over at a time in your life when stress is really high, and it can be catastrophic.
I have sent you 25 hive m8, I hope that helps a little, maybe contributing with other donations so that you can take some time for yourself to decompress.
I also hope that many other people on hive help you with some donations Amir, especially those who've benefited from the community work you've done, god knows you deserve it simply for singlehandedly resurrecting the comedy open mic community.
I considered tagging every Whale and Orca I could remember in this comment, with an addendum for them to downvote the shit out of me if the tagging pissed them off, but as we all know this can be a dangerous move and it might have just brought a shit storm down on you mate.
All the best @amirtheawesome1
be kind to yourself and I hope things get better for you sooner rather than later 👍

Ahh... Why are the funniest ones often the saddest?...
Believe me, I understand your troubles man and really do wish I could donate something; but tbh... I'm a little flat broke myself atm Regardless, I'd do my best to reblog this post and share it, if that's of any help.
Stay strong man. Being able to put a smile on people's faces is something worth much more than you could ever imagine.
Needless to say, that type of selfless act is often rewarded abundantly. So... dw, it's coming...
