I love you all

I have been gifted a tiny bit of VPN quota from a relative to allow me to upload my beatsaber creations. Its been the most important thing for me to put out, had found a very kind community, was known-ish in it. I spent multiple weeks working on one of the projects i had planned, it was the only thing do to daily. Since it was finished life's been nothing after nothing after nothing. Fear, stress, depression, power infrastructure might get hit, planning for loss of power, loss of water, loss of food.
Constant stream of people asking for internet in news website comments. On the verge of crying 80% of the time.
I'm not gonna buy atrociously prices VPNs, even in this state people are scamming eachother with fake VPNs.
I miss life, life's been on pause for more than a month. the best describer of life is that it's on pause, that's all.
I was never at risk for depression, my friends who were now have it and struggle with it.
I have lost weight and gained a few more white hairs tho.
I love everyone and everything, i wish to get back to life.

Will be seeing you hopefully in a better state.

    I'll keep it short: How can I help with a VPN?
    Don't know what access is like, what you can get on, etc. but if there's somewhere I can point my funds and get you online more, tell me. Can't do much of anything from this side of the world, but may be able to help in this small way.

    Stay safe on the other side of the world man. I’m glad to hear you’re still with us and doing reasonably well under the circumstances. Serious question: have you considered trying to get out?

    I hope you stay safe, wherever you are in Iran (I'm assuming). Hope things get better for civilians like you soon. Take care!

    There may not be much I can do for your practical needs, but on the mental and emotional side, sending hugs.

    All things are temporary. All things change. It won't be like this forever.

    For whatever it may be worth, I wish you well.
