Hello @Appleblossom
I'm sorry everyone it has taken me long to reply. I did consider leaving. My life become unmanageable
Thankyou apple. It certainly not easy to deal with criticism, & 'triggers'. It such an archaic word, said by person or if ignorance, obv. It hurt tho, perhaps, in that moment. And then realised, you are good person. That person, maybe, misunderstand you, or a C++t.
I not sure how to say this.
I have distressing, update
I am very embarrassed, humiliated, ashamed to share. And, I knew, I will come back & want to share @Shaz51
I not sure how to safely share my predicament, without, causing others hurt.
I unfortunately not believe this a possibility.
The words we write come from different parts of a bigger whole self.
There is no denying, that my circumstances are life impacting
I can feel safe here too
And I can work out who, what, how, from unique perspective.
I watched everything happen in space of less than 2 weeks.
I live in car.
I have 2 cats next to me, in passenger seat, sedan.
I no longer access shower, toilet, privacy, hygiene etc
I think the shock and hurt has hit me so hard, I not feel safe to really leave car anymore.
I usually get Menulog!
I not alone, obv
Council, ...police, cat team, and literal cat vet, my minister, case workers etc. ppl know where I am, & I can call them when I get upset and confused
Ok, that enough, for now xx
I sharing cause, SANE first crew accept me, maybe, like me.
I like lots ppl on here

I say, I not alone, Becoz, I not want ppl worry unnecessarily. Even tho, I am in car, my location is relatively safe at least the safest I can do.
In bigger sense
I not alone, Becoz, this happen, everyday to rich ppl, poor ppl, good bad+ ppl with children ; every country I guessing.
I will never think, that a person, who s shackdisappear in typhooni, is suddenly worth any less, coz personal dwelling, fall over.
It is a stigma, powerful. I place sheets in windows, I no longer conform, I a renegade, I an eyesore, I need clean up my life. I must be druggy or have mental issues.
I think one lady nearly throw up her lunch as she had to work past my car in slightly snobby shopping complex car park. It was , me ..
i bnot first person have to sleep in car.

hey @StanD i'm sorry to hear that things have been challenging and overwhelming for you recently. living in your car with your cats sounds incredibly tough, but i am really glad you do have people you can reach out to if you need. i do wonder, are there any public toilets/showers near you that you could access?
please do take care and let us know if there's any way we can support you, sending you gentle hugs 💙

Ah, dear @StanD I am so glad you told us your real situation, but sorry you have to endure this. Yes the cold, uncertainty, risk and the shame and stigma.
it was good to meet you and we share some similar bits of history…
I am glad you have some social connections and are not totally isolated.
You care enough about us to want to reassure us, that you are safe. I hope things do improve, but look after yourself, and keep in touch
