Things are really bad - Poverty sucks. No money, no help. I'm about to be evicted. Will be living in my car for a while. I just can't deal with this stuff.

So, I know why I'm depressed right now. But over the last year, I've been going thru depression that just happened, no outside reason.

What's going on? Why do sometimes I just feel like doom, no reason?

And then probably because of my depression, bad things happen.

I'd like a good, happy, useful life.

Any hope?

When I ran to get a way from my ex who was stalking me I was homeless for quite a while. I didn't take my car, I went by bus. I was in a state where I knew no one and alone.

There is HOPE. I now have an apartment on sec 8, and that has made a world of difference. Hang in there.

I'm not going ask if you have tried Social Workers and community help lines because I assume you have. But if not I can give you some numbers. If you just want to talk about how hard it is you can always pm me.

I can't even imagine what it's like to be homeless. It's a sad and scary thought.

Mouse, I'm praying you don't end up on the street. Despite what depression does to us daily, I still believe life will improve. I have to believe. It's that hope that keeps driving us towards a more purposeful and meaningful life. Praying for you

Depression sucks, and poverty sucks. I am sorry you are dealing with this. But poverty as you probably already know is not necessarily the cause of depression. And there are several studies that suggest that treating depression can help people get out of poverty.

I am not surenif this helps. If it helps I can empathize somewhat. When my parents separated we lost everything and had to live with relatives that only grudgingly took us in. The economy crashed after that... Lets just say we ate a lot of soup that kept getting thinner and thinner.

Try and get some social services in yr area. You can get food stamps and get on a waiting list for housing. Do you have a job?.I'm sorry yr being evicted. That must be very scarey. We are here for you. You are not alone. There is something called situational depression and I'm hoping yr condition gets better and that it doesn't last. Wherever you live you've got to be able to access state assistance. If yr not able to get gas sometimes they also have gas vouchers. Don't lose hope. Things can turn around. I've been very depressed and I'm finally starting to feel better so it's possible. Feel free to pm me anytime if you want to talk. I'll be here for you. Take care. Hugs
