Thank you, DocJohn, and everyone! This is the first I've had even any hope for a long time! I rarely smile these days and everyone around me seems to have noticed. They think it best to stay away. I pretty much keep to myself with my moods and PTSD. It just keeps getting worse while I get more disconnected. The nighttime shelter sites will be closing, at which point I will be totally on me own for food, laundry, showers, almost whatever I need.
