Feeling extra-shitty today [View all]

We're 95% housebound. My Dr told me find a friend , so I did on reddit. I let it be known *that I have a very old semi-reliable car and can't drive far* like, right up front. I was looking for someone near me, but the only person who responded was 20 mins away over an ancient bridge. I get it. I'm a pain

I introduced myself, and immediately explained the car problem.

We've taken about 3 trips over a long range of months, and she drives. She said it was'nt a problem and she's 15 mins away, and loved driving. Great. Hooray.

Nice woman and so far, wetook trips where my apt was on the way to the location. She wants me to drive now to her area, over a bridge, to see some estuary. I apologized profusely for my car. She's well off. I'm not. Any money that went to a newer car is now in my fucking mouth with tmj tx.

Now she's blowing me off. I feel like an annoying loser who lets ppl down. My home situation is not the greatest. But I laid out the problem frontally. Car. If it stalls on the bridge, I'm jumping off it with whats been happening the last year.

Feel so rejected and despised
now. Being poor sucks. Tmj $$$$ tx sucks. Am I a pain in the ass? It is what it is, I guess.
ETA: she seemed a little passive-aggressive yesterday. But I'm not willing to stall out on a busy nightmare bridge/road.
