The shelter site is closed tonight and on New Years eve. I have to stay in my car. Lots of us have no where to go. I have a sleeping bag, but my heavy wool blankets are locked in storage--and I don't have access because I don't have money to pay the rent. They plan to sell everything I have. I have less than Zero in the bank because every place wants their money and doesn't want to postpone any payments--even if I have it pre-arranged. Housing and financial options have only proven to be worthless. Nobody wants to work with a psych case. Having PTSD, major depression, an eating disorder and self-injury really complicates things in "Life". I decided to go for SSI disability after talking to my child's psychologist, who thought that I was already on it. Should of happened a long time ago. But my T thought that money was priority and that I needed to go back to my job that was making my PTSD worse. My kid's psych and others had different opinions. Now its too late and I have nothing left. I'm not even sure what to do for my kids yet for the holiday.
