@SprinkL3 Thanks, I'm okay. Airbnbs aren't as private as an apartment but it forces me to talk to people every so often. It's a 4 bedroom airbnb shared house. It's like getting 4 different roommates every month or two. Some people make me feel comfortable. Some are scary, but I can always hide in my room.

Are you homeless? Homeless also includes those who don't have a permanent residence, such as those living in hotels, motels, friend's couches or spare rooms, and Airbnb's, etc. Many people don't realize that this method of temporary living is considered a form of homelessness. Thus, you might qualify for some benefits as a homeless person.

I was homeless in many different ways in my past. I lived in my car for a while and had to use some public shower somewhere for free when I was waiting on disability to get approved.

I was also homeless when I used to be on Section 8 and had to live in homeless shelters or on friends' couches until the next apartment finally got inspected and approved for me to move in. Thankfully, I was in a better position to leave that program, but it was there when I needed it. If you are in the U.S., you might qualify to get on the Section 8 waiting list. It's not immediate, but it's worth it to get on their list if you are still in the same situation a year or more down the road. Just make sure you keep checking in with them periodically, and you keep your address and phone number current with them.

If you can find a more permanent solution, such as renting a room from a person or family with a house or finding roommates, then you will be able to get out of homelessness by having a more stable living situation.

I'm so sorry you are struggling with all this. That would be anxiety-producing!
