URGENT - HOMELESS

earthbound_misfit · 26-07-2009, 08:41 PM

I lost my job today, and its a live in job. I have to be out by midday tomorrow. I have nowhere to go, the council wont help cos I dont count as 'priority need' (I have been homeless before, I was actually seeing a therapist weekly then and STILL didnt count... that time I found somewhere to live but was employed, no one will take me now)

Im terrified and wish I was dead. I am perfectly happy on a daily basis, creative working on projects etc, but work always gets me down. I dont even count as depressed or mentally ill/unstable anymore, if you met me youd think I was totally sorted and confident. And I am apart from always struggling with jobs. Which then brings me down in life...

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h

oh and theres no one I can stay with for more than a night or 2 (and I cant get thru on her phone, shes one of those people...) I could maybe stay with my parents but they dont really have room and they live 300 miles away so how to move my stuff?
I hate jobs they ruin my life. And ive tried many types.

sorry, I can't help, but I just wanted to show my support, jobs get me down too. Good luck I hope you manage to find somewhere.

Hey there,

Sorry to hear that you are in a bad place at the moment. Go to your nearest emergency accomodation and demand that they help you.....it's your right to have access to safe shelter and they have to help you! Tell them your situation and it is a priority because you have nowhere to live for christ sake. Go and see your nearest public housing office too.......they are obligated to help you. You paid taxes while you were working for these services to be available to people in need!!! Stand up to them and don't the bludging arseholes push you around. Make them earn their friggin pay like everyone else!

I don't know what happened exactly with your job but I read your earlier post and think that maybe it's a good thing that you don't work there anymore because of the problems it was causing for you. I don't know if you're ready for another job yet because it can be hard with mental health issues to get back up into the workforce. You should be able to claim a disability benefit too if you cannot continue working because of MH issues. It's just a though, please forgive me if I'm way off the mark.

if you are homeless you need to be housed.
there are emergency hostels for people who are homeless without notification.

speak to your local citizens advice and find out what help you are entitled to.

ring up hostels and find out if they can help. the simon community are very good help x

as mentioned in original post, im not entitled to a hostel place or anything cos I dont count as 'priority need' (ie. ill, elderly, pregnant etc)
I dont count as ill.
Anyway im with my parents for now but its so lonely here...
cheers for the support

I know you feel alone honey but I'm always here for you. If you ever need to talk/vent/scream or whatever you can always email you and I will always listen. I know I'm on the other side of the world but it doesn't mean that I'm not thinking of you. I think the way you have been treated very unfairly by those organizations that are supposed to help you. They all need to pull their heads out of their arses. Anyway I'm glad that you have a roof over your head at least. I know living with parents isn't easy or desirable so maybe you could use the time to recover and hopefully you'll be able to find a better job that suits you instead of you having to suit it. Then you'll be much happier and be able to move out but in the mean time, please try to focus on getting better. I care about you hun. Please stay safe and keep fighting!

Love Nathan xx
