I live in Oklahoma.

Suicide is really the only option.

How about moving to a blue state? That's barely going to help but it's a better option than suicide.

With what money?

Because I live in Oklahoma, it’s legal to fire me for being trans, and there is no help for DV, so my ex emptied my bank account and maxed out my credit cards after torturing me.

I’ve applied for jobs elsewhere no luck.

it's fucked. I'm so sorry. I know it's a million times easier said than done, but I can't help myself to not give advice:

join social media groups for the trans community in a blue state, look into the orgs there, see if there's a couch you could crash on. save up what you can for gas or a bus ticket. once you get there, plug into the community, connect with services, find work. it's risky but it's better to try than to give up and die.

I have already done that.

There is no hope. There is no help. I am sick of people pretending there is.

my partners got out of Georgia and they were both broke as fuck. it is possible.

With a support system perhaps.

I don’t have one. I have adhd and ptsd and can barely manage to survive where I am. I’ll go down with the ship. I’ll put up signs, and someday they’ll arrest me, and I’ll be the eleventh death in Oklahoma County jail for 2025. There has never been hope in my life, and there’s no reason to hope now.
