The shelter site is closed tonight and on New Years eve. I have to stay in my car. Lots of us have no where to go. I have a sleeping bag, but my heavy wool blankets are locked in storage--and I don't have access because I don't have money to pay the rent. They plan to sell everything I have. I have less than Zero in the bank because every place wants their money and doesn't want to postpone any payments--even if I have it pre-arranged. Housing and financial options have only proven to be worthless. Nobody wants to work with a psych case. Having PTSD, major depression, an eating disorder and self-injury really complicates things in "Life". I decided to go for SSI disability after talking to my child's psychologist, who thought that I was already on it. Should of happened a long time ago. But my T thought that money was priority and that I needed to go back to my job that was making my PTSD worse. My kid's psych and others had different opinions. Now its too late and I have nothing left. I'm not even sure what to do for my kids yet for the holiday.

((((((((((((((inkblot))))))))))))))) I am so sorry that things are so rough right now. I think exploring SSI is a wonderful idea if you are unable to function otherwise. Please take care. Maybe some organizations such a Salvation Army can help you. I think they are open and you can get a warm bed and a meal.

((Inkblot)) Whenever I read your posts my heart breaks for you. Tonight on Christmas eve of all nights you are without shelter
 I am so sorry. I do not know how they do the fund on this site but I know I helped with one for someone else....I would be willing to send some help to you if the powers that be can set a fund up for you. I wish you a much better new year. I would never want to be in your shoes and am so sorry you are struggling so much.
