I'm homeless

[sickgirlzis]

i just wanna preface by saying that im okay. im in a shelter for the time being. at the least, im not around an abusive person anymore.

i feel so lonely. i moved to one of the biggest cities in the world, but im homeless, I dont know anyone, i worry about food and finding an apartment, and i just feel hopeless and depressed. not only that, but i feel myself becoming extremely bitter and angry at anything and everything. i thought my depression would go away after getting away from someone who sexually assaulted me, but i still have nightmares about them and have to hear about how my mother sympathizes with him. i wish i could kill myself now

That's already a very good start.... I am sorry for you. May you find peace and justice either way you go one day. I don't know what to say, but I agree to the last sentence you've said above.

I hope you find a safe place to stay very soon!!! Very nice avi, too. Be safe.

"...extremely bitter and angry at anything and everything"

Very relatable and understandable.

I am really sorry for everything you are going through, and I want to say things will get better, but we don't know the future, but I hope they do for you.


Good Luck OP.

Wow, it takes alot to leave and big fucking props to you.

I don't know what music you're into or anything, but considering it's a big city, no doubt there's underground scenes and shit. Instagram is really good to find local shows happening near you and there are free ones very often at public parks or venues, just try to look up '(your city) punk show (month)' Punks are very respectable with homeless and literally anybody that is marganilized because the whole movement is about uplifting eachother and supporting eachother, especially given the fact a lot of punks historically and now are homeless, queer, women, and travel around. They would definitely help you, I've been to shows where they give out free water and food, and some have health kits on them.

Also look up activists near you, instagram is again good for that too. You'd have to lookup protests and then check who posted, and in general looking up accounts with the city abbreviation or state abbreviation is helpful as lots of people that host things and whatnot will have it in their username.

Lookup soup kitchens in your map app, and clothing drives/swaps in instagram like '(city/state) clothing drive/event' I promise there's people trying to help people like you, you just gotta show up. Best of luck.

Edit: Going to these things can help you to make friends and connections by the way, especially activists. There are cool people in these types of places.

Homelessness is one of the worst issues that a person can experience. I do not know how to help, but I really, really, hope your situation improves!

I haven't been sexually assaulted but I still have nightmares about terrible things that were done to me, I think it's normal. Idk how to get over certain things, probably best to not think about it and when u do, immediately go and do something else as a distraction.

i do not know your situation, and cannot tell what you should wish for either way, but perhaps if you have just left an abusive animal, then wait and see how everything goes now

many people who are lucky enough not to have experienced or witnessed domestic violence think it is so freaking easy to leave. it is one of the hardest, if not the hardest thing anyone can do. once a woman (or anyone) has been hit the first time, if they do not leave right away, they almost can never leave. sadly, many people listen to the sob story of "i'm so sorry, it won't happen again" and stay. from that day on, they are already trapped under the animal's spell. leaving is a huge achievement, even if it doesn't feel that way right now. obviously, there are many potential negatives to leaving an animal, but hopefully without abuse, things can start looking up. being scared to go home is a very scary thing to have to endure. hopefully it all works out for you

I just want to say I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you. I'm glad you are safe and free from your abuser.

Maybe you can reach out to a therapist to help you have a safe and healthy place to cope and deal with all of this.

I never understood why people have to suffer so much. Life can be so unfair. Hopefully, this will all pass soon and you will get your own place.

I was homeless recently too and it was incredibly difficult. I didn't go the shelter route as I don't think my mental health could take it so I just made it through sleeping in my car for most of it. Have you gotten in contact with a case manager? They kind of suck but hey I was at the very least able to get on food stamps and medicaid. I was also in a place where I knew no one. Still can't believe I made it through but somehow I did.

I'm sorry you're going through such a tough situation and I hope things improve for you.

try to stay organized and optimistic and look for work if you are willing/able to work. i'm so sorry you are going through this and the world is so cruel.

i wish i could ask you the city, but i suppose it could be risky if identifying somehow. there are pro-lifers who visit SaSu sometimes, including ones that probably pretend to be pro-choice.
