Hey y'all I can afford therapy now I'm having trouble finding a job all while homeless and living in my van in LA. I have been receiving training for a city bus driver but I've been messing up and its really affecting my confidence level. I have also been fighting with my neglectful family specifically my mother and its all just too much right now.

Thanks for reaching out. That self-awareness will serve you well in life, for it is a tough set of circumstances.

Try not to let mistakes shatter your confidence. It can be a self-fulfilling prophecy where because you don't believe in yourself, you don't succeed, making you not believe in yourself.

Keep trying with the bus thing, it's promising. Maybe try and clear your mind before you do anything. You could try some meditation and positive affirmations. I'll start: For you are human, you have great potential to overcome adversity and the self.

Meditation doesn't have to be complicated. It can just be mindfulness. Acknowledge your worries, make sense of them, and detach from them. Meditation doesn't necessarily mean clearing the mind. It's just harnessing its power.

I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling with family. It can be really tricky as there is a kind of connectedness that is hard to ignore. Try to prioritise yourself rather than entertain any nastiness. Retaliation sometimes isn't helpful. Disengage if you need to and can. Otherwise, just stay strong friend. I have so much faith in you.

All you can do is your best. I am rooting for you to get through this training and get a job and for your luck to turn around. Sending best wishes your way 💜🥰
