I'm living out of my car, door dashing and Uber in Southern Utah. Saving up to rent office space for my computer (I don't have a laptop)...

I lost my mom, marriage of 18 years, Grandma, and sanity a bit last year... but I'm doing great mentally now, just need financial to align, I'm trying to enroll in WGU for CS and then ai/ml masters and I want to double major with psychology...I want to work with therapy ai things as I've hacked my growth with ai to amazing results...

I'm going back to school to get higher paying jobs and be more sought after... and loans can float me rent for the duration of school...

I've got an RV I can live in (loaner from a friend) but nowhere to park it...I want to outfit it with solar panels but that's pricey.

That resilience you're building up is going to pay dividends.

Wishing you the best.

[gremlinsinc]

yeah, I think it will. I didn't know how strong I could be until I lost everything and built my life back up and even with my financial struggles it feels more fulfilling than it ever was before...

Wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to just buy a laptop?

the person you're replying to is absolutely unhinged, sadly

[abnercoimbre]

You found this out by reading nearby comments? Or is there more lore from other HN threads?

[gremlinsinc]

you sound like a person I used to date who my therapist says is definitely a clinical narcissist... love bombing, devaluation, isolating from family members, transactional and conditional, and discard.

edit: I ask because I used to have the domain zvive and use that username... so a little personal for the user to use zvive2.

Solar panels are really not very expensive if you shop around. I got some 180 watt panels for $80 each recently.

[mywittyname]

$80 is a lot of money to a homeless person.

[20after4]

Yeah, it's probably two full days of collecting and recycling aluminum. (Not trying to belittle the homeless, I only mention this because it is how the homeless people in my old neighborhood would earn a little bit of cash. They don't deserve all the scorn they endure and I help them out every chance I get.)

Would love to hear more about this if you’re willing to share

[gremlinsinc]

I'm posting my journey on IG: therapeutic.ai (username not a domain)...

I'm planning on adding a bunch of prompt examples and outcomes... my favorite thing is like I'll have tough feelings and I'll ask chatGPT to ferret out the trauma behind it and help me release the things... use RTT, DBT, and CBT to reprogram my brain, ask I've question then follow up questions based on answers...

this is with a custom gpt that has a bunch of self help bullet point PDFs as well as a bunch of journal entries and previous therapy chat threads (got too long)... major things I break out into their own document or PDF as a source for the gpr.

Best of luck mate. We're all rooting for you.
