First, don't go dark. Secondly, I'm very sorry to hear of the troubles. Of course I don't fully understand the situation, but if it's at all possible, figure out if there's someone from the job who could be an advocate for you. Approach them when the time is right and explain your situation and the reason you hadn't previously disclosed. Ask them to speak to the decision makers. I realize it might be a slim option, but it can't hurt to try. Many people that I know have been down low at times, and right now it seems real bad. But, hang in there, take necessary steps and things will work out. |

Rented a small site at a camp/RV place just outside of the city. Power, Showers, Bathrooms directly adjacent to my site...and laundry facilities and convenience store just down the way. I don't recall how much it was, but i explained my situation to the owner and he cut me a bit of a deal since i'd need to stay for a few months. Kept my ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- clean, head down, and gave nobody a reason to even look in my direction. Even spruced up the site a bit rakeing things up and making sure the bathroom was clean. the owner couldn't have been happier. kept me legit looking enough to get squared away and into a new apartment. |

Really depends on where you are. When the wife and I slummed it for a summer in Oregon, it was easy. Lots of facilities for homeless folks, campgrounds, etc. Phoenix, where I've lived most of my life - you're ---fouled up beyond all recognition---. There is nothing - It's borderline criminal to be homeless here. |

Most of us have been down and out at one time or another. Things can only get better, hang on brother. |

Life is what you make of it, not what it makes of you. If things aren't working for you long term, time to change everything you're doing because you're doing it wrong. Again and again it's "life isn't fair", well no, it's not. But it is what it is. There was a patient I used to see at the hospital everyday. He had tried to kill himself with a shotgun, but had only managed to blow his lower jaw off. Horribly disfigured he is still alive today, and living a relatively normal life (reportedly). I always think of that guy. He would have come to in the hospital bed, and sooner or later would have looked in a mirror. If he had been suicidal before...what must he have been like after... but he pulled out of it. So if you haven't blown your jaw off, life is looking pretty good. Try it another way, look at it from a different perspective, etc. When I got locked up for a stint due to UWI I was pretty down, but I look back on it today like a blip on the radar. (P.S. I'm not saying anyone is suicidal...just a story of depression) |
