Homeless and scared

Homeless and scared

Hi.

It's been a while since I've been here. I feel scared and can't sleep. I'm sorry.

I'm currently homeless.

It's scary living from day to day not knowing what the day will bring or what the future will look like. I left a dangerous family situation to end up in a pretty awful shelter. At first I was glad to have a roof but after a few weeks of being surrounded by violence and drugs it wears you down. My social worker ended up getting me a motel on Friday, but I can only stay here a week. But she has pushed an application into temporary housing which I'm viewing today, which I'll hopefully be moving in on Friday if it goes according to plan.

The situation has me so scared. I hate the unknown. I don't know when and if I'll get permanent accommodation. Its so hard. Life seems so uncertain when you don't have a place to call home.

I hope you are travelling okay @The-red-centaur

I also had to leave home, I couldn't handle my abusive mum anymore. I was lucky enough to get emergency housing for a week. That gave me time to work out the next step. I ended up borrowing my grandparents caravan and my partner and I at the time shared that. And then we ended up finding this really tiny and cheap rental.

Things will improve if you work at it. Now my current partner and I are in a house of our own. Your life will come together, you just need to get all of the help you can 🙂
