How do people cope with their life being essential ruined and fucked up?

4 days ago by Valerie Ashborne to c/general

Not sure If this are right place for that (and sorry, while I do speak Englisch okay-isch, I am not native speaker), but this thoughts does make impossible to sleep at nights.

My life is taken really bad turn many years ago, and 5 years ago it become just broken.

I had my parents, my sibling, place where we lived. Everything was fine. Or I thought so.

My sibling for almost 2 whole years is... dead. There is nothing ceremonious about it. They are just... Dead.

I thought that I had wonderful parents. Even despite beating, screaming and other stuff that they told and done to me throughout the years. One of them just did not do much as parent. That resulted in many mental and physical issues, that I feel to this day.

I remember my hometown. It is now turned into rubbles. It was not great place, but I liked it.

As result of all of I left with only to move to different country, to start my life here instead.

But it is hard. Learning languages is hard. Trying to navigate this world is hard. And I do not have that much time to fix all of that.

I was always socially akward. It is hard for me. I have issues with both my body and my mind, my health. But I am mostly on my own now. With no idea how to proceed and how to deal with this pressure.

And all of that just makes me not wanting to sleep at night. Like now.

I keep thinking about that.

How go people deal with that?

I can’t say things have ever been that bad for me, but I’m in a really rough place myself right now.

Focus on your next step. Survival is most important. Try your best to find stability and find a good outlet for all the stress you’re dealing with.

I’m homeless right now and my next step is to make enough money for rent somewhere. My outlet is my photography, I’d lose my mind without it.

Surely you’re dealing with a lot of trauma and you’re going to need help dealing with that. If you can get that help, then it’s worth pursuing. If not, it’s okay to put it off until you have higher priorities taken care of.

Your life isn’t ruined. You can rebuild and find stability. You just have to keep going and never give up.

Sorry for the weird question, where are you living now that you are homeless? In your car? In a tent? In a longer term den? Or somewhere different every time? Are you homeless with money or without?

Also I was only ever homeless for a night but when I was I couldn't stop thinking about where I was next gonna fill my water up and where I was gonna sleep (which are non issues when housed). Do these things preoccupy you too or have you got them sorted out?

I bounce around a few friends place and live in my car a bit. I have a full time job. I can park in their lot overnight and get water there during the day. So I’ve got most of the situation figured out. The address thing is gonna be an issue eventually. Actually, it’ll be a big one. Oh well.

Do you have enough money to get a box at a Postal Annex or UPS Store? Using that as your address for mailing stuff is considered an acceptable official address by a lot of official places.
