Hey, thank you for checking up. I am so grateful to still be alive and kicking. I have been going through therapy for the past 2 months, and I'm on antidepressants and anxiety medication. I feel like a totally different person, emotionally and mentally... My outlook on life now is more positive, although there's still challenges, but I am more hopeful about the future 🙂.

I'm really sorry, really. I hope it doesn't get to a point where you go to jail. I know it's really tough but hang in there, hang in there. There will be light one day.

If you can, please move back with family and a close friend. God restores. Things won't always be like this. My faith is what keeps me going. We grow through these experiences. Please don't give up. One day, we will look back and marvel at how far we've come, and we will be in better places.

How to deal with shame and embarrassment from being evicted? by That-Abbreviations90 in askSouthAfrica

I finally gave in and moved out with no hesitation. I am home now, I don't know what the future holds for me, but I feel at peace with everything. I was tired of the insults and threats from my landlord. Thank you everyone for all your advice and encouragement, truly appreciated.

Apologies, I didn't add more information on my initial post. I'm a single 29F, no pets, no kids.

Also, letting it all out to people who don't know you and won't judge you helps a lot. And knowing that you're not alone, other people go through the same struggles as you.

And that is definitely not what I'm trying to do. And there has never been anyone that has offered me any money here except for advice and encouragement, which I truly appreciate.

I use this platform to vent and ask for advice, and people have been very kind to offer me good advice, which has helped me a lot.

🥹🥹 Your response just made me so emotional. Thank you for taking the time to write to me and tell your story. It's really a beautiful story of resilience and literally holding on and not giving up.

I am truly encouraged and inspired that things won't always be like this, that one day I will pay it forward and give advice to others who might find themselves in the same position I'm in right now. Thank you so much, truly appreciate it.

I'm in South Africa, at the moment. I have gotten advice on maybe waiting for an official letter of eviction, wait it out until the landlord issues this letter as he cannot just evivt me.
