Re: Live without

[(Anonymous)]

During the worst part of the recession, we were hit pretty hard, my dad (the sole age-earner) lost his job, etc. Our electricity was constantly being turned off. The worst was the time it lasted all summer and into the fall. I have depression and social phobia, and at this point I hadn't left the house for well over a year and still refused to, so for months I was shut up in the house with almost nothing to do, alone with my thoughts. I kept fantasizing about the things I would do once I got the internet back. Sad as it is, I think that was what kept me from completely cracking up.

Once it started to get cold, we'd have to build fires in the fireplace and huddle around in blankets, but it was still freezing. When it got dark, we had a couple of gas lanterns to read by, but those made me feel sick after awhile. Our stove/water heater/everything was electric. My dad would heat up big pots of water on the crappy old barbecue to wash with.

I am so beyond glad we're past that, even if we're still struggling with some bills and whatnot.

I'm glad you're past that, too. It's pretty soul-crushing living in that kind of situation with no real time limit of it stopping, isn't it.

I kept fantasizing about the things I would do once I got the internet back.

Before I had internet access where I live I used to walk miles to the library two or three times a week to use the internet. If I was ill, didn't have the time, or winter made it impossible to travel/shut down the library I would go almost mad with mental cabin fever and I coped much the same way as you did. :D

In winter especially when I was cold and depressed and the night came so early and I couldn't read once it got dark I would make up usernames and invent fandoms for them to argue/troll/create for.
