I would like to point out when one is mentally ill, one's judgment is impaired. One can not decipher between what is right and what is wrong. This is the reason for some people who commit crimes while insane are put into mental hospitals, not prisons. I am really surprised by the lack of understanding and support for the op. She has problems and is probably mentally ill. Stating that becoming homeless should be a deterrent for impulsive behavior stemming from mental illness is really not comprehensible when one is ragingly mentally ill. I became homeless myself while not being treated for my mental illness. I did not comprehend while I was extremely psychotic that I would be homeless. I empathize with the op. And, hope she finds the right treatment for her problems.
