This has got to be a horrible time for you, not to be able to go and be with the ones you love in this horrible time of need.  I have no words of wisdom to give you that will ease your pain, nor help you either.  Use the phone regularly to call home, use the computer t seek counsel, and pray that this to shall pass.  Pretty lame, huh?

You don't mention if you have a job.  If you do, you could either ask your employer for an advance on your paychecks or you could go to one of those paycheck loan places where they will loan you the money, at a high rate of interest, but it's better than being homeless.  Also, have you asked your parents or relatives?  One other thing, check your university's social services dept. (if they have one) and ask a counselor there for help.  \n\nIf you don't have a job, get one!  If you've been paying your rent on time in the past and this is the only time you've been late, your landlord might cut you some slack when you show him that you are really trying to get your life back on track.  Set up a payment plan with him and stick to it.\n\nIt's good that you're learning a valuable lesson now, while attending school, and it's not even part of your curriculum.  Your credit history/rating will be one of your most valuable assets as you go through life.  Protect it and do all you can to keep it healthy.  That way, when things happen to cause unexpected financial problems, you have options.

It's very difficult to do on your own. You better seek professional help as soon as you can.

I'm saddened to hear that you live in this state.  Sounds like you were traumatized a year ago.  I've been through this. It's a horrible feeling. Asking these questions and reaching out for help shows that you are beginning to come out of it.  To return to reality,  face your troubles no matter how much it hurts.  Talk to a counselor, pastor, friend, teacher.  Continue to ask questions if it makes you feel better.  I wish you a bright future!

Sorry for your situation.  Try a shelter temporarily and the shelter will probably have some additional resources for you for the long term.  I also like the idea of getting welfare until you can get yourself back on your feet.

What kind of help are you looking for? Do you have family, money, health problems?  The best I can do is pray for you and hope that whatever is happening in your life gets better. LOL

It's going to take some time. But, meanwhile spend lots of time with friends and family. Constantly remind yourself of how wonderful you are and spend time doing things for yourself. You know, pamper and spoil yourself. Keep your head up and be encouraged. Sometimes bad things happen to good people for no reason at all, but it's during those times that we've got to use those situations to make us stronger not weaker. Good Luck!

Hard? maybe\n\nToo hard? no.....we can handle this. \n\nNo matter what it is, there is someone that will listen, someone that will help you. That's how it becomes not "too" hard. But you have to let someone know you need that aid. Many want to help.....don't be afraid to reach out.\n\nFor example......asking your question on here was a big start!! Next......call someone......and talk to them about it too. I so hope all works out. Good luck! (and reach out.....don't forget!)

As stupid as this might sound look at it this way. Things can't really get worse so they have to get better. I like to believe that you are always where your suppose to be and not necessarily were you want to be. Maybe you were able to determine your destiny before you started living your life and choose this way because it was the better way. Use this situation to figure out what it is you want out of life and do what it takes to make it happen whether it means going to school, accepting a job your not crazy about, moving somewhere else. Take it one day at a time and remember what goes around comes around so do good things so that good things happen to you. Problems are messages and maybe the only way for you to learn this message was to go through these hard times. \nGood luck.

take up reading, doing crafts is a good time passer\n\nget a computer, you can learn, play, chat or a million other things on-line.\n\nI know it is hard.  I have a friend who is in a similar situation, for that matter I have been there myself.  I know it can be hard when most of your old friends are married with kids etc and you feel so isolated.  When I was alone and basically broke I tried to just stay busy with something.  Get a pet, they are good company too.\n\nOh yeah....\n\nDon't pay any attention to some of the people who are answering with mean stuff.... they just don't have any understanding of your question, some people can't help but be a@#holes.  \n\nI don't think they understand what you mean when you say you are on SSI.  Some of us do.  I realize that you can't go out and get a job.  There are still many things you can do as hobbies etc.

Hi Dabby,\n\nLife is full of ups and downs.  Right now you are down but you have to get up.  Only time will heal you broken heart  no words that we write will solve you problem but they will definately encourage you.\n\nRight now what you need is forget about men.  Do something that you like the most.  Take a break from your routine life and go for a vacation if possible take some girlfriends with you and have a good time.  U have to make things work for your self dear.  Just give your self a well deserved break from all and do something that you have never done before i am not saying that you will forget all your problems but at least they will become light.  Basically keep yourself occupied just do something or the other.  \n\nSome relationships work some don't but the hope should always be there.  \n\nI wish you all the best in life.  Good Luck

Do you have freinds and family that can watch your kids till you get on your feet. \n\nIs there someone you can stay eith till your able to move out on your own?\nYou can do it!

Please see a school counsellor as soon as possible.  Or call a help line right now.  Do you have a family member or other reliable adult you can talk too? Don't wait.  Get help now.

You could consider counseling. It sounds like you ARE suffering from Depression, and it is effecting your life drastically. please find a therapist to discuss things with, and they can help you start putting the pieces back together. \n\nNo one else has the answers for you, but people can help guide you. In the end, you have to make your own decisions for your life - but not until you have the coping skills to handle stress and depression.

Pray for relief from God for all of you.  God will touch your heart, you might cry a different kind of tear with his hand on your heart.  A peace comes with acceptance of the Lord in any situation.\nGod Bless you, and surround you with Angels to carry you throughout this difficult time.  \nSeek others if you are a believer to pray with you, and for you, as I am now.
