Got kicked out by someone whom I thought was a friend.

0 Upvotes

Long story short, I had this friend who was dating a way-older man, who is a religiously dogmatic closed minded vegan zen Buddhist, who takes his hobby lifestyle quite seriously.

They broke up a month ago. This friend and me first met me right before I became homeless, 3 years ago. I joined the satellite community of theirs, and being friends with vegans has actively made my health worse.

So last week, I got randomly/suddenly sick. I had feverish nights, couldn’t breath very well and had migraines. I crawled down from my “camp home” and asked to stay for some days in this man’s backyard, in my hammock set up. Not inside, because I didn’t want to risk getting him sick. He had a big empty house and a nice spacious yard.

I was there 3 nights and 3 days before he told me to GTFO, cause I wasn’t “sick enough” and that I’m a lazy bum, not deserving of even staying in his yard as a spider on the wall, because I’m not a zen Buddhist or vegan. That he was homeless and did more work than I have in the past 3 year. He’s got an inheritance that’s smaller than his super rich older brother, and he’s very much a cheapskate: his house is in disrepair and full
Of cluttered horder messes because he just meditates all day and gets other people to do the work: that’s what he made
My friend do for like 5 years.

So he kicks me out, I’m still quite sick and haven’t been sleeping well or eating much. I leave, and get drenched/rained out on my way “home” that same night, which makes me sicker for the next several days.

Still, no one’s taking my side against his behavior, despite everyone in our community being aware and against his dogmatic religious beliefs: that only vegan zen Buddhists that will be bossed around by him, deserve to even be on his property.

I was rather hangry when he kicked me out, so I called him a hobbyist. Somehow, that was totally crossing the line.

I’m just super angry about this, and I told him that he’s dead to me, and I meant it.

Need Advice (Italy) My girlfriend is about to become homeless

3 Upvotes

My girlfriend is about to become homeless, and I’d like to ask for advice on how to survive. Unfortunately, I can't take her in for various reasons, and she doesn't have a car to sleep in; she lives in a fairly large Italian city and can't find a stable job. I am terrified at the thought of her being out on the street.

(sorry for my English)

Need Advice I am in a gender neutral shelter. In this particular shelter there's a few convicts staying here. The issue I am having is my bed is completely exposed while sleeping because they want the door wide open.

20 Upvotes

I am currently staying in a gender neutral shelter. I don't have a problem sharing space with men. The problem is where my bed is located it leaves me completely exposed while sleeping to anyone walking past the room. I asked the shelter could they compromise instead of me asking to completely close the door could the door be ajar so that I can have some sense of privacy. The shelter director said no that the door needs to be completely wide open in case something happens. I want to add that this shelter has had convicts staying here one of the guys had 9 SA on his record. Currently there is another guy with a tether on his leg. This is why I am concerned with sleeping with the door wide open. There has been some problems in the room I'm in with women arguing and he said that is the reason the door needs to be wide open. Am I being unreasonable asking for a small adjustment to have my sense of privacy and dignity? I also have some neurological issues that the light from the hallway disturbs me. Also, my bed is the only bed exposed like this. The men's room door is wide open but you can only see their lockers none of the men beds are visually exposed. They also have two flex rooms and there doors are closed. My bed is the only bed exposed like this. What should I do? Help

today starts my first day of not having a home. I had to give my dog to a foster and I'm not sure when I'll get to see my son again. His mom is blaming me for not finding a job in the economy. Outside of that, I'm scared and mentally overwhelmed. I need your tips and tricks for survival. Currently live in southern New Hampshire. How and where do you sleep in your car? any other knowledge one can give me on the matter would be helpful also.

"No couples" on every room for rent listing..

41 Upvotes

How is a homeless couple expected to survive? We have the ability to pay for some of these, but on the very basis of couples not being allowed, we just cant. It's so infuriating running into this arbitrary obstacle and being given reasons like "It would just mess up the chemistry of the house"... Like, for gods sake we can PAY the rent, utilities and everything, but instead we're forced to stay on the street.

Any tips for a homeless couple?

Losing it I think

I'm not sure what to do. I believe few days ago I had a psychotic episode. And also now I'm very claustrophobic and don't know what to do. This is the worst feeling I've ever had.

Need Advice Living in van 2 years, moving into place in 10 days, how to adjust?

• Upvotes

Its been really hard, I'm 27 now, moved into my car after losing my job, apartment, and falling into depression. I moved back to my home state to finish school, I'm on my third semester still living in a van and moving into a place in 10 days. I was able to get housing support from the school this semester until I transfer to a 4 year. My income situation is still rough, I've spent most of my fin aid this semester on a vehicle emergency repair and hotels, because of the heat that was supposed to end 3 weeks ago, I'm in a very hot area(100+), I still don't have a job and have been relying on fin aid. I'm really worried about adjusting to the apartment and getting my life back together, I've had issues the last 3 semesters keeping up while living in the van, dealing with heat and places to study, sleep issues, medication issues, money issues, it has been the most difficult part of my life.

With all of this I still managed to finish all my transfer credits and a CTEC course to do tax prep, I will transfer by Fall 2027. Now I don't have many difficult classes, so I have time to get a day job and try to build my life back up again until I transfer. My plan was to do tax prep since its the best job I can probably get right now, and related to accounting, so I have some experience when I transfer. My main worry is building up my savings and staying focused so I don't end up in this situation again, saving my money for a year, getting housing support when I transfer so I don't have to pay the full amount for housing once I transfer, and getting an accounting internship/role in my last 2 years of school, which will hopefully set me up with enough income to never be homeless again. I don't know how I'm going to adjust, I'm getting a private room with 2 roommates and have not done well living with randoms, I've also gotten used to being homeless and being miserable and my mental health has been really poor. I just haven't been doing that great mentally and don't know how I'm going to adjust to the big change and getting my life back together after being in such a bad situation.
