What's something you enjoy doing with your family?
- Playing games, watching movies, family dinners, or just going out to do a fun activity together
How are your family relationships currently?
- Currently not well. I am home for another week still and it was unplanned (disabilities do that to you😞) so it is a lot of adjustment for all
How is this week going?
- The week has been okay. I'd rather be in school but I just have to deal with it
@wonderfulRainbow817
Hi,
Those seem like really fun and exciting activities to do with your family.
I hear you, I agree that it might be tough because everyone has to adjust. On the bright side, you get to spend a little more time at home.
Hopefully, you'll be on your way to school before you know it❤️
Enjoy Doing With Family - No Contact.
How are family relationships currently - all dead to me. No blood or legal family, only "chosen" family.
This week -. Sunday I woke in a homeless shelter for the first time and had to leave at 7am w 16-20°F weather. No day shelters, library closed, buses only run every 1.5 hrs starting at 9am, spent time in a parking garage w other homeless and in a mega church. Lunch w a friend. Shelter opened at 6 for Superbowl.
Monday out at 7 buses running at 7, get breakfast by myself. Go to library and wasn't welcome to loiter, sprained my ankle. Shelter opened at 730. Told shelter will be closing for the season early. Last night tonight.
Woke up Tuesday at 530 told to leave by 630 bc someone smoked weed in the bathroom breaking rules of church and local law. Everyone kicked out early before buses run. Day shelter is open now. Get food and a shower. Friend picks me up and we drive 45 min to town w my housing voucher. Calling everyone again(homeless since sat the 12) and signing paperwork for housing and a permanent apartment. No shelters available. Sleep in friend's car w many blankets and a pee jar.
Wednesday wake up cold. Friend sneaks me breakfast. I have to hide from his controlling abusive family. I feel bad he has a back injury and PTSD too. He brings me a vitamin to make sure I don't deal with homelessness and illness.
Secure deposit on apartment. Need housing to inspect apartment before key granted (Feb 28th) and no shelters available. Sleep in car again. Colder night.
Thurs. Wake up with hair frozen, frost on inside of windows. Canned soup for breakfast, friend could not sneak warm food around abusive family.
File Personal Protection order against abusive roommate kicked me into homelessness. Call shelter 7 times before reaching admission agent.
Finally admitted to shelter. Good because low as 7°F Tonight. Finally feel less in survival mode.
Misgendered all week for the first time in 2yrs. On men's side of shelter. Relief. Seen as a man again.
@DichotomousDetia Sorry to hear you have had such a rough week. Sounds like a good friend who is doing their best to help with limited options. Hoping the shelter option stays available and the apartment access comes on the 28th!
@AffyAvo I'm not good I have a long term health issue that is undiagnosed and not sure if it will ever be resolved. Really stressed out with health issues at the moment, worries, fears of the future.
@fearlessWriter78 It's understandable you feel so stressed and worried for the future. Hopefully you can find ways to cope and can get decent help from a medical professional - I know how difficult that is without a diagnosis!
@AffyAvo Thank you. Yes it's so stressful and now it's more difficult to find a primary care doctor in particular.
