Something’s not right

Still homeless

Still homeless

Hi guys just to keep you abreast of my happenings I’m still homeless luckily I’m staying with a friend but it’s not ideal.

I have tried to get help but because we are not in an intimate relationship there is absolutely nothing. I have called everyone including the local member.

there is no where to report abuse against a disabled person who is not in care either.
I feel so helpless and powerless and am constantly traumatised by her barrage of texts.
I am paying rent on a property I can’t live in nor enjoy and she’s getting away with everything. She destroyed my fairy lights, I reported it and because she denied it the case was closed. There is no fairness in this world.

anyway there’s a quick update on what’s happening.

please all have wonderful days xxx

Re: Still homeless

@BPDSurvivor @Historylover i went to the police and they basically told me to go away there was nothing they could do and even if I rang them they may or may not turn up. It so sucks.

then there’s mandatory reporting for people with a disability that doesn’t exist unless you are in care.

I have no one to protect me 😥

Re: Still homeless

I'm sorry this is happening to you @Sirine . It seems you have tried every avenue.

For now, I hope you can find space to be kind to yourself. One the forums, I hope you will be able to find the emotional support you deserve so that you feel less alone in this sticky situation.

You are not alone.

Re: Still homeless

@tymethank you hun I truly appreciate that. Even though I am staying with a close friend I still feel alone, she doesn’t understand the affects of trauma and the trauma mind. But at least I’m relatively safe other than the harassment via text.

is there really somewhere safe in this world?

Re: Still homeless

Somewhere safe in the world?

For me @Sirine , safety is within. It took a long time to get to the stage where I could be comfortable with saying I feel safe in myself.

What does safety within myself look like, you may ask? Well, to me, I feel I am satisfied with myself - including my ups, downs and round and rounds. Even when I am down, I have learnt to self-soothe. I now know who to reach out to (or not reach out to)... it's taken a long time to get to this stage. But once you are there, no one can take that safety away from you.

I hope you will also find that safe space.

Re: Still homeless

@Sirine, I am so sorry this is happening to you. You're right, it isn't fair. As I said, someone isn't doing their job. I wish I could help, but these things happen to me too. I just deal with people as little as possible to avoid being taken advantage of as much as possible. We're just vulnerable and we're sitting ducks. Take care... I'm tempted to say...kiddo!

@Historyloveryeah the older I get the more I don’t like people. I just turned 58 so kiddo is great lol.

I have been dealing with this stuff my whole life I just want peace.

thank you for caring xx

Re: Still homeless

Well, you're a kiddo compared to me, @Sirine. I know what you mean, I sometimes feel like a misanthrope! Me too re 'for my whole life'. Sucks, heh? Maybe it will improve if we hold out long enough. 🤞

Re: Still homeless

Hey @Sirine that sounds rough.

I've also had experiences with that weren't taken seriously due to not occurring from a partner.

Trauma comes in many forms. I believe you .

I hope u can get support and feel safe
