Keep me updated if you don't mind. Looking forward for a good report my internet friend...

Well I certainly hope this whole thing works out for you. I'm very happy to learn that you may have potentially found somewhere to go. Please continue looking and especially if it's helping you a little.

I'm happy to be here for you. I take advantage of every opportunity to just be there for someone in need bc I remember mostly, not having anyone to help me get through some of the toughest times ever. I really care even though I don't know you. I can really appreciate your efforts to reach out like you have because many suffer in silence, and some have even left us here to wonder what it would be like for them today if they chose to stick around.

I've been through a lot and I truly understand the value of being weak, full of pain and suffering in a way that eventually leads you to fully know what living means. To the point you want to see other people "LIVE" too and I just want people to be alright. It matters to me... especially where I come from and everything God helped me through.

When I was homeless for 20+ years I really had to get creative and even think outside the box. It was of no risk to me because I realized that the "traditional" route to get help was terribly flawed and was much more of an obstacle than a temporary solution. I even received help from some little tiny Baptist church to get into a studio apartment but I probably called every church in my area and they were of no use so I ventured out to other areas. Making a phone call wouldn't hurt trying in my opinion as long as you're up for it.

I even used social media such as Facebook to find help for food and clothes and most of my help came from other states... even Canada.

It's a terrible shame that mostly everyone seems to not care but I found some big hearted people out there still and am thankful.

It's a hard life for sure and I understand your thoughts on the subject matter but ya keep fighting for your wellbeing and survival.

I know that you mentioned that faith isn't necessarily a trendy thing for you and we all have our reasons I suppose but maybe you should give it a try as ridiculous as it may seem. I'm not the average church-goer or bible thumper nor am I a great example and my faith may not be as strong as some others but I do know God listens and sometimes he'll put people in your path to help you and so on.

Asking for help shouldn't be embarrassing or admitting that you're weak... quite the opposite really if that's something you are able to understand.

I come from a broken home. My family didn't love me or care for me. I walked away at 17 and became homeless. I was terrified and severely hurt mentally. I was angry and I didn't like people at all. I no longer wanted to be apart of the human experience because it seemed pointless but I gave God a chance. It felt weird to try and reason with someone or some thing I heard about in church or from other people but it was something I needed to know was real because everything else seemed like a fabricated lie. But I found out that God was real though sometimes he seemed to not care much about my situation while other times he totally did and proved his love to me... not in a way that I tricked myself into setting up my own success but it was more of an experience in which really made me consider my creater even more thus giving way to a much stronger relationship even when things were tough.

I know it's not really fun to articulate and it seems silly to most... even to the ones connected to a church generally doesn't understand half of what they say they do but as for me, God helped me get through some of the worst times anyone could ever face alone.

Just thought I'd share that with you and I hope I haven't hurt you by sharing what I did...

So, I assume you have already looked in to a lot of local resources in your area for help?

Yanno, help for rent, utilities and even food? It's a huge gamble but you could even try reaching out to a catholic church for help. I recommend a catholic church over other denominations because they're a lot more resourceful and way less greedy/judgmental in my experience. I had to get help from a catholic church before. They bought me groceries... even had their own grocery store... I was shocked!

My account seems fine. I was logged out after the hack. I suppose the admins had all accounts logged out so they could fix the problem. Other than that, everything seems fine on my end. I'm using Jerboa or whatever it is called to access lemmy currently so idk what's going on.

We're still all very much connected with the whole grass roots thing at the end of the day. Doesn't really matter to much which side of the spectrum you're on. It's just We're not very good at acknowledging a problem a lot of times I guess but when you're dealing with delicate matters in the form of mental illness, it all seems to mean a little more by definition as people similar to you and I have to consider these things a bit more. But in any case, I don't think it's fair to say that you have more to prove as far as your worth is concerned.

I'll go far as to say that people that have a little extra to carry sometimes have bigger mental and/or spiritual muscle. It's just another way to think about it really. We have in a way been shoved off to the side often being alone to think about these things on a much deeper level. We experience pain on a whole new level and often times then not we can... IF we choose to, come to a realization that we are made a bit different and still serve a purpose. Our battles are greater in life than the average person but when we can or when we choose... we are quite useful to others based on our experiences. It feels burdensome but it is empowering at times I believe.

There's always an opportunity where we often connect better with people who are troubled and actually want to be acknowledged in certain situations where nobody else could offer anything worth-while or wholesome. To the point to where we have influence on someone who can't seem to grasp an understanding or perhaps they lost there way a little. So we all play a part somehow but it's left up to us if we can see it when everyone else had missed the mark.

Yeah... my situation is not all that wonderful either. I suffer from cptsd among other health problems and it wouldn't take much of anything to hurt my circumstances even more.

Not sure about you but all I have left is my faith and I've gotten to the point to where either imma be alright and make it or imma end up in a hole somewhere. At this point in my life, I really don't care which way it goes. I only care about being at peace with myself and others that are closest to me. Everything else can kick rocks! Been through enough!

We can only be the best we can be and we can't undo what others have done in which has created obstacles in getting the help and things we actually need to sustain life.

Again, I'm really sorry you're hurting, I totally understand the frustration! Keep being who you are and try your best to be at peace with yourself because no matter the struggle and no matter our past failures, going through times like this, we just have to do our best to stay as grounded as possible.

Who knows, perhaps this thing you're going through may "Suddenly" change or devolve. Hard to say really when you're so used to getting tough unwanted results no matter how hard you try so I get it.

Be safe out in the wilderness and take care of yourself to your best ability. I'm very sorry you're struggling so badly right now.

I certainly hope the very best outcome for you. I do understand that pressure though. I was homeless most of my adult life and it nearly killed me... infact, I'm still recovering and all that time on the streets with all that crazy stress has definitely helped keep me stuck currently from moving forward as I wish to.

There's really no advice or comfort I know to offer that would be a viable solution. Especially how the world is rapidly changing it seems for the worst. I'm really sorry you have to face this horrible reality. I too feel I wouldn't be able to go through what I just came up out of again.

I suppose all you can do is what you can do and that's about it unless there's people who are willing to help with the things you can't fix right now.

Good luck buddy! I hope it all works out for you!

I like android better because it has way less limitations than apple. It also seems more flexible as far as apps and customization is concerned.

I'm at peace with myself and life choices and have had a rather interesting time navigating my way through all the tough times. With that being said, I think men should be more honest and take the moral highground and delete their egos and pride. Most men seem to be advocating all the wrong things and in many cases are weaker than they proclaim to be.

As men, we're up against a lot and we're designed to battle through just about anything life throws at us and we'll pretty much do whatever it takes to get to the top but the process of elimination can be subject to degradation of a moral climate and standard within our home and work place and even times, we push our closest support back into the corner and keep it chained up.

I believe we've been taught wrong and how important our women are in our lives... especially for those of us who are married... women play a valuable role in our success too and we must find understanding and reasoning with each other as a collective effort to conquer our goals together as we raise our children to have the confidence and ability to help contribute to a broken down society truly divided by the very basic principles we all want to aspire to.

We must hold ourselves and others accountable but do it in a way where we don't destroy one another.

Just my thoughts, nobody has to agree with me. It's just a problem I've seen time and time again as a whole of society with diverse backgrounds and beliefs.

I believe that love is a foundation of things to come as far as faith is concerned. God's love surpasses our understanding and while we feel so undeserving of his love, mercy and grace at times, we still find hope through forgiveness and in times of desperation, we deliberately cry out for God to comfort us and perhaps others the same.

If we don't have an ability to love and see past people's falts then we have a very feeble understanding of God's presence in our daily lives. We shouldn't prohibit others from learning and shouldn't judge the froward appearance of man... if we do this, we are simply committing spiritual suicide and we're provoking an unwanted response from God.

Through faith, we are saved by grace! Love is a focal point and an action word. We must give a good report and be a reliable source of God's love. Faith of a mustard seed is good enough for most Christians but I say that there's far more for the believer to experience if he/she constantly seeks God's face every day.

Just as God compelled us (draws us in) gives us instruction and propels us (doing said instruction) the weary and unbelieving, literally experience the glory of God and his love is perfected within us while the impossible is made possible and the Holy spirit also administers grace and additional substance as a witness to the one and only true Living God.

Just joined Lemmy... had to leave reddit bc they suck now.
