I got kicked out of my house because my parents found out that I was questioning (I now think I’m bi). They gave me a couple minutes to gather my things and I was gone.

They blocked me and all of my friends have shunned me.

I later found a job thanks to the generous people here on lemmy who gave me some work clothes that I could interview in. My job starts in a bit over a week.

But holy shjt life is hard. Every single day I think about jumping into a car but now that I’ve resorted to begging for assistance online I feel as though I have to follow through. I feel like a piece of shit.

I only have one functioning arm and people look at me like a deformed freak every single fucking day. I don’t know why I was born bisexual or why I was born with a missing limb. I don’t know why I’m broke or why I always have to dig through the fucking trash to eat chewed up and spoiled food but I’m tired of living this way.

A homeless dude stabbed me in the arm and the police didn’t give a fuck. My work clothes are stained from the blood and sweat of other vagrants. I smell putrid. I feel disgusting. If I went to work in the state I am now I would be fired on the spot.

I’m so tired. I don’t even know how I’m going to scrounge the money to find something to eat. I dont want to eat loke a pig i want a solid meal. I need help People have given me money here on lemmy to get a new arm but I can’t spend that money on food when I need it for my prostgrtics

I fele like a piece of shiti tired to pay back the people who gave me money but they wouldn’t accept it. I’m sorry truly

    You’re down right now, but you have to trust it’s not going to be this way forever and keep moving forward. I don’t don’t know where you’re at, but there are a lot of homeless service agencies out there doing work that could help you. Try reaching out to the United Way in your area for guidance. You can often call them at 211, or locate them here. Look for food banks, churches, or your local mental health authority (which varies a lot by state). If you share what region you’re in we might be able to give you more specific advice. Good luck to you brother
