Methinks there is a missing link.

[Astro78]

Will be homless on the 23rd and quite angry about it. The cold and wet .....thank M Christ I can't do anything to tackle .... this ... sooon to be snuffed.

[jjjnettie]

So so sorry to hear this. I hope something can be worked out for you soon.
:(

[Astro78]

Yep but not happening. Rang basically everybody x 10 it aint working. Last hope was salvos and they told me was "too well presented to need help".

[Astro78]

what worries me is no net and my mobile being cut when i'm on the street. how do peeps get jobs without clean clothes and a shower - seriously?

[jjjnettie]

Give Lifeline a go, and keep at them.
Hang in there buddy.
You've got nearly 2 weeks to work something out. Deep breathes.

[Astro78]

Yep. have done. phone now $350 over and they can't do but listen and under no circumstances phone me back.

PS: thanks for the PM warning ICEINSPACE

After what you pulled together for Bear Cottage I believe you are strong enough to find your way forward and come out on top. You have acknowledged your demon and that's a huge step.

[jjjnettie]

Geoff, you always seem to have the right answers at the right time. Onya mate.

[Astro78]

Thanks mate. been a deer stuck in the lights truly. this is real and late and dire.

[GeoffW1]

Thanks jjj,

I wish though. Half the time I extract my foot from my mouth first, to find the right answer stuck on the end of it :lol:

Cheers

[leon]

It may not be of much help to you, but i know your circumstances, been pretty close myself, there is light at the end of that tunnel, hang in there mate, i will pray for you for guidance.

Leon

[mishku]

Clutching at straws here, and might be too much, too soon - but have you spoken to your GP about a medicare subsidised stint in inpatient rehab? Solves the problem of food and accommodation, if only for a short while... and even if it doesn't come to fruition, your GP might still be able to help link you in to other supports?

Good luck, matey

[casstony]

Astro, while you probably can't see how things can get better from this dark period in your life, in my experience the bad times are always followed by more good times; in a year or two you'll be glad you struggled through.

You'll most likely be able to reconnect with the people you've pushed away once you get your act together too - people are generally very forgiving if they can see that you're genuine.

All the best, Tony.

[mikerr]

Peter, as casttony (Tony) said, people that you may have pushed away can very often be willing to help once they can see that you are really trying and would like their help. Don't be too quick to write them off.

It might be difficult for you to make the initial contact but you could be pleasantly surprised at their reaction. If you can feel that at least one person is on your side it can help you to look ahead and not behind.

Do not even think about giving up. That is simply not an option.
You are not a loser, just been dealt a crappy hand at the moment and you will win!!

Keep in touch and let us know how things are going.

Michael.
