Best advice-- no matter how weird it gets, stay true to your own values. It's too easy to make bad decisions when you get that helpless depression thing going. Fight that shit hard. Yeah, you took a tough hit. But I'm hearing a person that is learning acceptance, which is a strength, not a weakness. And don't forget to share the shit that works for you. Others need help, too, even from you. You seem to be far more interested in 'saving yourself' as opposed to those who expect rescue. Good for you. Not being afraid to work is way to your advantage. Some folks do lose that and never seem to get back any social graces whatsoever, nor desire to control their lives. Stay strong... sounds like you have some pretty good mojo going on...

Hope this somehow finds it's way to you.... I didn't see you asking for direct help, though it was nice that some folks were trying to reach out on that. I saw you simply stating that you are dirt poor and struggling and FULLY HUMAN and as normal as anyone. Just having some really bad times and sharing it. Awesome. More folks down at 'street level' need to get the word out that they are not all addicts and hopeless. Plenty of folks just hoping for a chance... not that complicated... just a chance. I think you were 'too real' and not what they conceive-of as being a 'shelter person'. Ignorance is incredible these days. Stay strong... you'll laugh about this someday...
