Dealing with homelessness

[username12345]

I was trying to stay positive and not commit suicide and go to a homeless shelter in a better state but it's been so terrible. Right when I got to the new state I was searched by the police freaking out about my testosterone and the wires to my earplugs as if it was a bomb. And then I was on the streets all night cause there wasn't room for me anywhere and I went to a diner early in the morning and they searched me there cause they were weirded out by me and saying transphobic things and saying I had this weird look like I was gonna do something bad? I was trying to go to the bathroom after I had eaten some of my food. And then I was able to go to a shelter after 4pm the next day and that was okay but then woke up in the middle of the night to my roommate at the shelter masturbating in front of me and I had to tell him to stop

It's just so much shit one thing after the other and I can't help but feel that if I had any social support this wouldn't have happened. I'm like this is me being alive I guess. I don't know where else to go or what to do but I can't sleep.

I really sorry.. where are you from? Maybe someone here could know some places when you can sleep for a few days. I pray that you find a Shelter soon

Bump, if anyone is in Chicago and could maybe help this user out, hit them up.

Sending you so many hugs, OP. I have been there before for years, scared bc of money and job market that I might be on my way back. <3 here if you want to talk, convo me.

I'm sorry you have to go through this. Being homeless is so cruel. I'm sorry I can't help but I hope you find a suitable solution asap.

you poor fucking thing. the system has truly failed to care for you. shelter is a basic human need and right and i cannot imagine being in your situation. please stay strong. please remember that if you make it out the other end of this you have traversed levels of struggle that the common citizen cannot FATHOM. please reach out if you need someone to talk to, or need help navigating the streets or finding a source of income. i will try to help out in any way that i can.

That truly is so cruel to me, I'm sorry you have to suffer like that, I find it so terrible how people have to suffer all through no fault of their own. But anyway I wish you all the best
