About to lose my job I've been working at for years, going to be homeless soon... I can't go back to that life. For years I was homeless as a teen with nowhere to go, very scary feeling. I somehow turned my life around and got back on my feet. Now facing the horror of going back onto the streets, fml...

That sounds really awful what you have to endure, it's horrible how existing can easily get much worse with no limit as to how much we can potentially suffer. This world certainly is hell to me.

becoming homeless does not scary me, but I don't have family members that I live with, so its much more easy for me...what really scares me is the loneliness and the feeling of being rejected

Hello, I am really sorry to hear about your situation, I can't even imagine what it feels like, and I am very sorry to hear you are abour to face something so difficult for you again.
I am not sure where you live or what is your current financial situation, nor what the job was or what your skills are. However ...
1- in some countries you are allowed for a unemployment benefit. Do you have access to it?
2 - do you have any savings that can help you keep going for a little while? As you have some experience you may soon find another job.
3 - Are you able to get any other job you can get quickly? Like waiter, or hotel staff, something like that? That would keep you going for a little while and pay expenses.

I am just trying to give you ideas (if you have not thought about already).
Let us know!

I'm in the USA, here they treat homeless people like shit. I have been living paycheck to paycheck as it is. It was a comfortable job but didn't pay very well. Someone started a rumor that I'm a drug user so for months I've been treated like shit and been harassed at work. Been having a mental breakdown and seeing doctors to try to get meds to deal with the extreme anxiety/depression I've been having. All of this is what led me to find this website and start planning my exit from everything...

Have noone, no parents who can help and no other family members, no friends. Lost contact with my dad after he went to prison, I have a mom but she can't really help me. It seems she doesn't even want me around. She handed me off to her mom years ago and I was in and out of homeless shelters as a teen after she died. She only got back in contact with me after I was an adult and she wasn't legally responsible to care for me anymore. My mom doesn't have the best parental instincts and she treats me more like a friend than her child. I tell her how I feel and that I need help but she just says she can't help me. I really envy those who have caring parents and family members because I don't really know what that's like.

I see no way out this time. Never been to such a dark lonely place in all my life. Never thought it would come to this, me researching my own death.
Wish I had an off switch I could just flip and be gone
So many sleepless nights and so much anxiety, it's amazing there isn't some sort of easy way out. There's so many homeless people in the USA, I'm sure there's some that are ok with it and others who are being tormented by their situation. The usa should really have some kind of program to let us get out of here if we wanted. Imagine all the money saved if the people who wanted to exit could, especially homeless, elderly and mentally/physically handicapped people. I don't know if all this sounds fucked up. Idk anymore.
