If you dont wanna read intro-skip to Help bit-In Bold-Thanks

Intro: Hi, I am feeling very very trapped and not sure what to, I have been independent from a young age-but now in my late 30s I have ended up living at my dads house (with stepmum) for coming on to 9 months now, he left when i was young and has all but ignored me for most of my life, hes totally emotionally unavailable, cold and I believe has never really cared at all-as proved by the little he has done for me throughout my existence. I believe he felt backed into putting up due to my severe breakdown & suicide attempts, so they were contacted by my friends and doc. Anyway I am going on a tangent now- basically it is a horrible, toxic atmosphere- much worse this they found my sn- I being called selfish,emotionally manipulative, mentally ill (i havent been diagnosed with anything aside from situational depression) they shout at me for & are enraged by the fact I want to ctb- This does not stem from love-but from that whole moral obliagation thing and shouldering the burden of guilt if I were to do it. They said I have disrupted their lives, effected their work and almost causing them to have mental health issues - all the more reason for me to have kicked the bucket by now which I would have done if id had SN! I have too scared of other methods- as I have tried ALOT!!

Help: Basically I need to find short term accomodation- maybe 2weeks to month- long enough to re-order the stuff. Im struggling with very basic tasks at the moment and have severe breakdowns alot, strong panic attacks, agoraphobia, almost constant distess- so it would be V.had to go around to estate agents- and pretend to be normal to try and rent a flat-plus I dont have enough for a deposit etc, they wont be my guarantors, I have no references, Im out of work-on sick pay etc. I dont think I could cope in a hostel as I cant handle being around other people much - i will get very freaked out.

Has anyone ever done an air B and B for something like a month or just over? Or where else that doesnt require all the things renting an apartment would? I cant afford to live in a hotel for a month- and not sure many places would do that any way- as that it quite unusual.


I am totally trapped- I dont want to hangself- Ive tried too many times also- and for me it is too hard- its not because I have some hope left or must not really want to- I just cant - my SI in this way is to damn strong.

So i need: somewhere to live for approx month, cheapish, not too far from where I am now, they dont need too much paper work & they wont ask me too many questions.

SO SO TRAPPED :(

theres a website called spare room.co.uk that has a lot of short term lets, some are houses looking for house mates, some are self contained flats/bedsits.

you could also look on gumtree, I wish you the best :hug::heart:

thanks- prob def have to be myself- i think any flat mates would soon get me sent to a hospital for the state i am, god the thought of a bedsit is pretty depressing to go and live in, but given my situation I really cant be to picky! I wanted to get my sn and go to a nice hotel for the eve! thanks for tips though- I will def have a look.
God not much for studios in my price range- seems like there is lots of minimum stay contracts too-mind you not much they can do if i 'break' the contract!
I cant provide any references - they ALL need them!! :aw: :aw: :aw: :aw: :aw: :aw:

I am not in the UK, but here in the USA. I was in a similar situation to yours. I was having yo live with toxic family as well. I was desperate to get out. My nerves could not take it. Here in the US, near a University( college) they have lots of " student' apartment complexes. Most of them pair you up with a roommate or two, but that is what names the rent cheap.
sorry for typing errors... that is what makes the rent cheap. Mine includes utilities and cable/ internet. You do not have to be a student to rent. You might check in your town for a similar situation. They are sometimes desperate to rent the rooms out. They mainly just check to see if you have a criminal background us all.

If you speak to your GP about the distress your family situation is causing you and then apply to your local council for housing, they should put you as a higher priority and potentially house you in a hotel like the travelodge for a few weeks while they find you somewhere else to live. Just something to consider if there's no other option

I'm getting worse and worse by the day since my sn got taken- as I was very ready to leave this world- if I go to any kind of authority figures the state I am in I fear greatly hospitalisation- I worry that all the people around- parental figures & medical professionals would rather I end up in the loony bin then end my life peacefully whilst I still have the capacity to do so :( but thanku kindly got yr response- I will certainly keep it in mind if I can hold it together enough!

Thanku you for yr tips- I am in such a profound mess- I don't think anyone could handle living with me- or rather it wouldn't be fair on them- or they would call up some 'doctors' or whatever - I just need a bedsit or something- I've tried looking but they all need work references - and a guarantor for rent- can't exactly tell them - I've had a serious breakdown & just need to room for a month so I can ctb :( wish there was a death hotel where it was allowed!!

Are you currently getting any support from anyone, are you seeing a counsellor/on any medication? If you have got worse since living with your Dad maybe moving somewhere could help you get to the point where CTB isn't the only option? Also if you haven't yet tried CBD oil for me it works wonders for anxiety/panic attacks, it could possibly help you stay calm while applying for places, even if you stay where you are now it can help when your mind is racing.

I'm not trying to undermine your situation it sounds very difficult. I'm also living with a parent who isn't exactly supportive, I wish you the best xx

Have been given various types of medication -they keep upping & upping the dose-it does nothing, they wont give me therapy as they think I will not be able to respond to it. Two psychiatrists dont know what to do for me. I cant move out to a proper flat-little money, not working, no deposit or references- also in no fit state to even cope with that to be honest. I did used to take cbd oil in the past- I am way way wayyy past the stage where it would help now. But thankyou for the tips anyway.

I understand. I pushed away the few friends I had because of my severe depression. I no longer have any left.
