โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are about three years ago. Back then it was sleeping in my car. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back.โ
โIf you are just starting out with nowhere to sleep, I will not pretend it is fine. It is not. Your phone is your lifeline. Keep it charged. Find the places that give free meals. Learn their times. Be polite, even when you are exhausted. A hostel bed is not the Ritz but it is a door you can lock. Do not give up on the clinic. The line is long but it is a line forward. Some days you will want to quit. Just get through the next hour. That is all.โ
โA year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. My phone is my lifeline, and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.โ
โI was right where you are in 2023. For me it was sofa surfing for months. I laugh properly again. Bit by bit it comes back. Sending love.โ
