I'm excited to be moving from a downtown urban area where I finially found an apartment 3 months ago, after spending 3 months sleeping on mats at the local homeless shelter. There is a huge beach where I'll be moving to, that is just a ten minute walk from my room. My landlord is friendly and aware of my diagnosis and appreciates my guitar skills too. I sat on the beach yesterday and gazed out at the Atlantic ocean and felt far from the shelter and my worries and anxieties. It was a much needed respite(sp?).

Sorry to hear you were in a shelter for 3 months but am glad to hear you'll be in your own place soon. Relish that good feeling.

Keep on the meds if you have,enjoy your freedom, watch out for unsavory people who will throw you off track. Congratulations and be well.

Brook I am so glad you are finally being blessed with a new place, and just in time for the holidays to. You are a true inspiration. You push on daily in the face of pain and suffering. I am sure you are a breath of fresh air to any one who meets you. Again I am so happy for you.

brookwest, I've had a similar experience. I was living in a camper in the woods for a year before my family intervened and forced me to move. I have not been able to get my own place but I am living with my parents and contributing to the household. I'm on a wait list for a rent reduced apartment so I hope to have my own place at some point in time. I really appreciate having a real bed, bathroom and stuff like that...living rough really sucks. I hope you are doing well......D.

Depress me, Thanks for sharing your story. That must have been difficult adjusting for you; from living in the woods to domestic living. Personally, I think both have their advantages and disadvantages. I'm glad you have found a comfortable spot to live. Take care,

So glad to here all is well. How's the new place?

It is a good home. My housemates are friendly and there is not much traffic or drama like sirens and arrests. I feel safe. I just need a computer and internet now. Merry Christmas everyone here.
