Distress Signal on All Frequencies.
To calm my nerves, I've been binge watching DS9 all day. It's the only show that seems to calm me down. I sit at home watching it, knowing that my world, my real world, is crashing down on me. DS9 is brilliant in showing complex social structures, believable politics, showing how paradise comes at great cost, being forced to comprise your own morality, i.e.. asking help from a mere tailor to just simply help end a war. No biggie lol
I've read the rules here. It asked me to ask myself when posting or commenting: What would Picard do? I find myself in uncharted space where danger lurks, adversaries and adversities I have no chance overcoming exist, and I can't even ram a ship into my problems.
So to my shame, and accepting the risk that this post is inappropriate, I NEED YOU.
I'm trying with desperation to afford train travel to upstate New York so me and my dad can visit a hospital clinic in Westchester. He has so many appointments trough out this week. Living in New York City makes technically a short-ish trip expensive. Prices for tickets out of control.
I would understand if this post is removed. I'm out options. I really do need help. I'm just scared. I'm scared all the time.
