I'm currently homeless. Been that way now for a week. My family abandoned me.
I want to die. I brought myself to hospital and was not allowed in. They're a bunch of hooligans for not letting me in I am in the verge of death again. This world is so cruel.

I've never been homeless longer than a couple of days so I really don't have any brilliant advice for you. I only have empathy to offer....I feel for you & really, really hope you're okay! Can you try another hospital? Maybe walk in a hospital and say you're suicidal? ( I know it may or may not be so honest, but my concern for you is also that you may be on the verge) . Anyway, I once went to a hospital & said that once I walked into their ER. I got admitted, I was safe, taken care of and medicated. I got help because I was considered a threat to self, not others. Anyway, I got help and that's the bottom line isn't it? Plus, you won't be homeless on the streets when you're there.
Take Care! ((Hugs)) |

I don't know how the laws are in Canada but in the US you would be legally within your rights to go back home, plant your butt on the couch and force them to serve you with an eviction notice (whether you've been paying rent or not). The eviction notice buys you 30 days to figure out where and how you're going to live. They're not allowed to just throw you out on the streets.
You might want to try calling your local government for info on emergency housing or look for nonprofits that can help you out. I'm sorry that you're in this situation. Please don't give up ![]() |

My mum kept making me homeless when I was a teen. Her bf was a pervert and she didn't want the truth to come out so she beat me and threw me on the streets not letting me take my shoes or coat when it was snowing outside. She would phone the people I might run to and make sure that they wouldn't let me stay by telling them lies.
I was lucky because in the UK you can be housed in a hostel / b&b but it wasn't easy for me to be housed . they didn't believe what I was telling them until they finally spoke to my mum on the phone . I would advice you to not give up and be persistent at the hospital. Don't mention that your homeless because they will think you're trying to abuse the system. I know that because I got accused once of trying to use the hospital as a hotel when actually I was in crisis and very suicidal. You're in an awful situation right now but it will get better. Don't give up. Keep trying . Refuse to leave there or simply keep going back there to the hospital until they finally take you seriously. Im so sorry for the situation you are in. It really can get better though. Stay strong. Don't give up. Hugs Sophie Sent from my GT-S6810P using Tapatalk |

My family and church abandoned me when I was 18. I wound up staying at a homeless shelter (was actually a battered women's shelter) for 5 months. I was a part of county mental health, and they helped me with resources. After 5 months, I lives in a board and care for 9 months. Then I was able to get HUD housing.
I would contact a mental health clinic, or maybe a church. Are there crisis houses where you are? Here there a crisis houses where you can stay for 2 weeks while you figure out the next step. I'm sorry you're in this predicament. It's difficult and scary.

Plan to reply to all as soon as I get shelter. Thank you so much for hugs and support. This is the most maddening year of my life. I would not be alive without support from you all and a couple good friends. Homeless need more resources - there really is NOT much support out there!
Im meeting with homeless agency on monday to see what they can do. I will keep you posted.

I was homeless several times in my teens the longest was for about a year.
My best advice would be to seek help from social services or their equivalent in canada. Or to call the cops. If all else fails see if you can spend some time with a friend at their hose, explain the situation to their parents. You can also try going to any church and asking for help they may have advice or services that could help you. Finally if you are over 18 I would suggest getting a tent and camping out. I was able to live about 9 months in the woods with nothing but snares and a sleeping bag until I finally got a job. This would be a last resort though as winter is soon to set in and you don't already have food stocked up. ( had a lot of dried squirrel by winter to help get me through it) If it gets really cold head to a 24 hour store and try to find a place to sleep. Its better then losing toes to frostbite. |
