I've gotten sick of reading about the stories of others. After making sure my bug-out bag was fully packed, I am headed out from south Jersey. I have a cellphone powered by an all purpose lantern. For those that can help as I move West from Jersey, I thank you.

I'm a type 1 diabetic that has survived on short terms without insulin. However, if I wished to travel, I would need to get SSI along with medicaid in order to get the medication I require to survive. Does anyone have advice on what I should do to head in this direction?

I have trouble with relationships. I've managed three between 17-29. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice. Being alone most of the time is incredibly depressing and wears down on the head, especially when you're unable to travel and experience new things (type 1 diabetic, unable to...

Three week maximum, in other words.

South Jersey spot available for squatting, not open for long periods, but open based within a heavily christian family that won't turn away an individual that is in need and vouched for by someone living there (see: person making this post). Length is, at max, a week, unless the individual is...

I'm sorry, boss, but doing what's most comfortable for you isn't always the best solution. Often times, what's most comfortable is what's most pleasing. Hedonism can be supremely destructive. I'm not saying you're wrong that he needs some distance from the situation in order to calm down and...

I hate to be the devil's advocate here, but... did it occur to you that the way you handled your religious coming out was... well, poorly done? It's entirely right and deserved to be your own person, but you don't need to go about it in a way that insults someone who raised you. As for your...

That's what I've been considering once I have a bit of free time. If nothing else, it'll serve to clear my head a bit. Change is a damn awful thing, and this is the first time I've come to say that. Normally, I love change and roll along with it. I think the only reason I'm reacting so strongly...

I'm a type 1, and a vial costs upwards of 200 dollars. The thing is, in such a situation, I'm afraid I'd be going without a scrip. I don't know about pens, since obamacare doesn't cover that anymore. Formerly, everything was taken care of through my insurance (four years ago) and I used pens for...

You see, I've been an admirer of every person on this site for over five years, and the one thing I've always wanted to do is explore the country. The problem with me is that I'm tied to pharmacies by synthetic insulin. and this was the hard wake-up call that friends grow apart. It was just...

Disclaimer: I'm not looking for sympathy, just seeking the thoughts of other folk on this story. There's no worse feeling than when your friends begin to leave you behind. You know, as though they had to get somewhere in a big damn hurry. The discussion of finding a place, or one of us moving...

This, the map, and a small nameplate are particularly interesting ideas. The map would provide an especially interesting touch. Though, if you were to include the odd free space here and there, it could be a spot for those you've met to stick their name in. Then again, they could do that anywhere.

I shouldn't have tagged this so specifically. I was looking for people who had long-term squats that had either come into government agents reticent to force them away or somesuch, or amiable locals. My father would tell me tales of the govenrment buying former industrial properties for cents...

Able insofar as my legs work? Surely. But I've a dearth of worldly knowledge, and like I've mentioned before, I need to keep within thirty days of a pharmacy for resupplies of insulin. I've gone for short periods without long-lasting or short-acting doses, but life becomes centered around...

The entirety of the topic was to get some impressions of people living in largely abandoned areas. Gary, IN, is one of the few that I've every been aware of. If you've any stories to share in regards to the area, I'd be more than obliged to repay you in some shape or form.

I'm from Jersey, and I can't say that I get out much. Something of a coward, you see.

Does anyone have any stories about what it's like in the industrial sites of Gary, Indiana? I've only ever read about how those areas are somewhat deserted, so I'm woefully at a loss for any information. I'd owe some serious favors to anyone that could provide me with information on what it's...

It lasts for 30 days unrefigerated. I use it REALLY fast, but it's getting more that keeps me tied to insurance programs.

I just felt like saying howdy. I'm incredibly envious of anyone able to travel as freely as the people here. As a type 1 diabetic, I'm stuck to pharmacies like glue if I have any real intention of surviving without an absurd regimen (believe me, I've tried short periods without insulin). I...

Sorry, I meant if you're looking to eat and not suffer. Was having trouble editing that post. That, or the drinking is getting to me.

I know that rant was a bit off topic, but it felt wrong to start an entirely new one dedicated to the disease. If you're looking to eat and suffer from either type one or type two, stick to non-starch vegetables and fleshy-proteins. You should be able to steal the former from open air markets...

I was about to let in with criticism left and right, given that a lot of you seem to buy into the anti-sugar diabetic mentality that non-diabetics or type 2 diabetics have been running on for the past twenty years, but I figured it would be better to throw in my two cents in terms of existing...

Ah, consarnit. Lost my post. I be from South Jersey, right near Philly. As for how the state is, can't say a life here has made me much of a fan.

:scared: I'm just paying m'respects in the way of a polite and dignified greeting. You know, from the land of hiding and spooked natures.
