Homeless...

Post Reply New Topic

My mom & I are homeless right now. We have been staying with various relatives & friends since April. It seems everywhere we go, people can't stand me. They don't understand me at all & tell my mom I'm a spoiled brat & something has to be done about me. Most of my family thinks Aspergers is not real. We are in this situation because of careless family members, & I don't think we will ever get a home. I am going through the worst time in my life right now. There has been so many changes. I've lost my home, half my belongings, 4 of my cats, my Grandfather passed away, My grandma was diagnosed with Alziemers & is now living with my aunt in GA. I don't have any human friends. My cats were my best friends & the lady we are staying with made me give them away. I am so angry & hurt & scared. I don't know what to do. I have anxiety attacks all the time because of the people I am staying with. And because of bad dreams I have about one person, an old friend of my mom, that we stayed with for one day. I took an anxiety attack at his house & got really sick. He said I was faking, & flipped out on us. He wouldn't let us use the phone, & then he kicked us out.
We can't get our own place because my mom & I are both on disability & can't afford anything. My life is so bad right now. Thanks for letting me rant.
Sorry it was so long.

Hey, I definetly know what all that is like. If theres anything you wanna talk about with it then you can always go to me I know all about how hard it is. If I had my own place I would make it yours too.. Sadly, Im back living with my parents and they arent very welcoming like that to strangers, nevermind those from online. However I do know of a place where you can crash for a while.. Its kind of.. Well, ahem.. Its a great place in my opinion, but also not the cleanest in the world.. Well, on the top floor its much better maybe there would be a room for you up there who knows.. All I know is that whenever I needed a roof over my head or a safe haven, that place has always been there for me.. If your in America, and have enough money to travel to Massachusetts then it would be very much worth it in my opinion. If your interested I can give you some more info. Its all I can do sorry.. But good luck though.

Hey,

I know what its like. Its not an easy thing being homeless. AS is difficult enough in a stable living situation but its really hard around people you don't know. If you need to chat let me know.

Did you and your mom try applying for HUD? Its like 30% of your income I think.

Awwwww *hugs*
I know what you mean nobody understands that I just cant speak to strangers I also have panic attacks all the time when people visit the house. I just cant if a stranger passes me in the street I freeze. If someone talks to me that I dont know I just look towards the floor and I just CANT answer them I hve sevior socialisation problems even so that I cant go to school Im home taught.
If you ever need to talk just PM me I need a friend to.

Can't imagine how hard this must be. I know I wouldn't deal with such a situation. I used to get panic attacks constantly, to the point they drove me to black depression... for those, I suggest trying breathing exercises and yoga if you can at all...both might help you calm down a little more in these circumstances.
