I want somewhere else to live but I don’t have any money. I wish I could get a job to even start saving, but I can’t talk, so that’s kind of out of the question. I’m stuck in a hoarder home but I’m 19 so nobody cares because apparently I’ve chosen this. Yeah it’s this or homelessness - what am I supposed to pick?!
I hate it here. It’s not home anymore.
sry for not replying until now im sending you so many hugs. how are things now? i rly hope you’re doing okay
always here for you eylah

Re: my positive recovery
@eylah it takes a lot of courage to overcome a fear of choking. Your an absolute warrior for making such huge headway and trying it. That's not just surviving a past trauma, but actively fighting and thriving in the face of it. Even more proud of you than before which i didn't think possible.
Re: my positive recovery
tried new foods today. huge thing for me.
@eylah amazing stuff. What did you try if you don't mind me asking? Goes without saying that i'm proud of you for taking the leap into new foods btw
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@Redemption amazing feedback. Your a great team player, have a good learning mentality, and from the sounds of it, lead the way trying new things when other's don't. The fact your a good listener and supporter makes it even better. And the improvement suggestion about just your public speaking skills and nothing else is a triumph i'd say. Well done bro. you've done yourself proud.

Re: managing money
Was also coming to recommend money saving expert. He has TV shows too, covers all sorts. Some of it won’t be relevant to you yet but it’s a good tool to have in your box throughout your life.
Re: managing money
Update: I found the book it's called Your Money Matter's, I think it's a free resource *fingers crossed knowing Martin Lewis it should be*. I'll send a link below

natwest do a thing for young people in relation to managing money! i’ll pop the link below
I was also going to say natwest too because they do lots of things for young people alongside budgeting tips.
I hear that you are wanting to learn how to manage money more including your own finances. I believe also Martin Lewis has a got a free book on money and it should cover the basics. I know he is trying to get it into all schools. I believe his website is called MoneySavingExpert. I am also in a similar position right now because I too am also trying to learn to budget and manage money more. It can be quite a big thing getting your own debit card as well. Always here if you need someone right now
