worried about stuff

Past User

my struggles have only been known to anybody for exactly 4 years now, but i’ve struggled for much longer than that. all i have done is ruined my family’s life. it’s so clear. i’m so unwanted.

many times now my mum has told me she’s going to give me a few weeks notice to find elsewhere to live. she’s serious this time and i’m scared of what’s going to happen. i did reach out for support through a charity that supports people who are homeless / are at risk of being homeless and after a couple of emails i was advised to just go to sleep and when i wake up, everything will be ok again. i wish a nights sleep was the fix to this problem, wouldn’t that be amazing!!!! it frustrated me so so much. i then tried another place, she advised me on thursday morning she had a meeting so will get back to me on thursday afternoon - must be an awful long meeting as it’s now tuesday and she still hasn’t bothered getting back to me ughhh i have asked each day is there any update and my messages are being ignored clearly - they have been reading them but not replying:(

all i want is to just isolate myself completely from the world. i’m currently safe.

Hi @struggling0_0
Thanks for reaching out.
It's not okay that your mum is treating you like this, i can't imagine how hard this has been for you, dealing with everything by yourself, struggling for so long then being told you need to leave your home, it takes a lot of strength to be able to handle these things on your own and reach out for help, so well done for doing that

Would you like to share what happened to cause such a conflict between you and your mum?

I'm so sorry that those charities treated you that way. Dismissing how you felt and what you had to say, then ignoring you - it's understandable that it was frustrating for you.


I've attached an article here that i hope could be helpful for you, it talks about what to do when you have to leave home. There's some advice about contacting your local council and some charities listed that i hope will take you seriously instead of inconsiderately ignoring your messages.
Alternatively, do you have any relatives or friends that would be okay with you staying with them for a little bit?

Please let me know how you get on, this is an incredibly stressful and difficult situation that you've been put into but we're here for you, you'll get through this
