I have nowhere steady to live and I'm mentally ill and the stress is making it worse. I've been homeless off and on for around 1.5 years and I can't handle it anymore. I'm completely desperate for help but I don't really have any close friends or family I can rely on.
Has anyone puled themselves out of a situation like this before? I'm really desperate and sad because I don't want my life to be like this. Thank you
Even if anyone has some words of hope for me it would go a long way. This has been the worst time of my life.

I've been on my own since I was 17 and both my parents are abusive in their own special ways. I'm coming to the realization that I have no happy times to look back on and that I'll always be on my own. Realizing your parents dont love you is such a cold feeling lol. I don't do drugs or anything. I know doing this on the internet is pathetic but Ive been praying for anything just to keep me going

sorry to hear it. don't despair, k? there any churches nearby? they might be able to help you get back on your feet. how are you with kids? live-in nannies are still a thing, though perhaps not the easiest gig to get ahold of. could still be worth looking into though. stuff like that is the basic sort of setup I'd recommend aiming for -- doing work for someone directly in exchange for room and board and a small salary. just be mindful of who the "someone" is, of course.

i just find it hard to hold a job b/c i'm crazy unfortunately. My biggest dream is to just relax and sleep for a long time in a big bed and know I won't have to leave soon
Job corps was a terrible hellhole for me, but if you're homeless it might be a good place for you to go, as it provides three meals a day, a dorm to live in, and you can even work towards a trade.

I dont think there is anything like that here.
