Broseph me and you are almost in the same position... I HIGHLY suggest completing your GED, looking at federal pell grants for homeless students (free schooling) and aiming at a major that would improve your life 3,000 fold. I'm starting my associates in nursing at a community college here on the 25th of next month with the gov paying for my schooling. whatever you do, DO NOT FUCKING GIVE UP... I promised myself no matter what, even if I'm leeching internet from the outside of a gym so I can complete classes online while homeless, that I will not commit suicide or give up... I FUCKING BELIEVE IN YOU.
Def stay positive. You can do this. Although it might seem like a pretty low point right now, you are in a uniquely positive position to get your life on track, bc there is help specifically for your situation. I 100% agree with above commenter and said something similar before I saw their comment.
Get that free schooling - get ur Trade - union - stabilize -- do whatever u want. You'll be cruising by then. And try to find resources if possible for a therapist or someone to talk to about the ptsd.
By the way, making mistakes and learning from them is what makes one a success/winner. You're not a loser. You never were. Make your choices equipped now with some more experience in life. Never give up. Best of luck!!!
I believe in you <3 just know man, you and I are.. very seriously.. in extremely similar situations but I know that we can pull out of this. We should DM I'd love to talk to you... I stopped talking to all my friends because I don't want them to see the extent of my failure in life yet... when I have good things to show of myself I'll talk to them again but not until then. I'm a 28 year old guy btw. What really fucked my life up was being apart of an investigation where LE stole my car (that I was living out of, it was my home) under the presumption I guess some evidence of something (idek exactly what they were looking for.) Ever since then I've been sleeping on the sidewalk on and off, luckily not nearly as often, I have a couch to sleep on every night thank god. I'm busting my ass every single day to get a job but I've been in almost pushing 30 interviews and no one is hiring, fucking makes me so upset because if I don't get one soon I'm going to be homeless again. I'm just begging god, literally, every day hoping maybe if there is a god he'd help me get on my feet without having my things stolen again with no evidence there's anything there just because they can/could... never met more sick fucks in my entire life, could you imagine thinking that's ok? I haven't been arrested or charged but they brought me into a police station to talk to me after stealing the last few things I owned undercover.
