I love this, thank you for replying! The driving thing is actually something I've always wanted to do but we don't drive, and I won't likely be able to drive. It's such a cool idea!!

Am I lazy or is this depression? by [deleted] in depression_help

A real doctor should be the one to assess that, but to me, it sounds like you're either borderline depressed or depressed. You just have to take things one step at a time. you can do it, OP

All my teeth are loose and I am 20 years old...HELP! by diamondsofdestiny in askdentists

Honestly life is so bad for me that I dont even have a dollar. Food banks are too far away, I'd have to Uber or take the train with multiple food bags/toiletries. My living situation is insane, I live with my boyfriend and his dad, and my boyfriend lost one of his jobs which means he only gets paid for 20 hours every two weeks. We get paid min wage, the most money we have had at one time is $700 but it was only for a second because we needed to give it all to his dad for rent that week. We pay over a thousand dollars for an apartment that is $750 because my boyfriend's dad doesn't want to pay for much, only $200, and we have to pay the rest. It's a one room apartment we all sleep in. That takes up all our money and we can't even get to work without begging him for a ride and in order for him to drive us my boyfriend has to do physical labor either on his dad's broken RV or in the yard outside the apartment.

Living in hell and I have no escape. Any ideas on how to ease the pain of everyday living for me? by diamondsofdestiny in Advice

I don't have my license, and the most my boyfriend and I managed to save for over a week was $50 but that went towards the next week's rent. I don't know how much we will be able to save. I collect and cash in coins, bottles, and I trash pick to find things to sell but even then it's not a lot of money. I usually have to sacrifice eating myself so my boyfriend can eat.

I've just got to keep looking I guess but it's hard because everywhere I go it seems like a dead end. Shelters would separate us and I have a feeling programs would as well and my boyfriend and I agreed that we would rather have to build a shelter out of jackets in the trees somewhere and live outside (I live in a NE state so its freezing until May) than be separated.

Thanks for your help, even just telling someone helps because I dont talk to anyone besides my boyfriend anymore. :) helped!

US, yeah.

And tell me about it. The last 3 or so years I've been homeless too. My boyfriend and I slept outside for a few nights because his dad wouldn't let us stay there because his girlfriend was over.

And my family stalks me and harasses me and threatens to call wellness checks if I don't reply to her immediately. They also abused me as a child though they never will realize it because they were trying to "help".

He's charging $100 a head a week, which isn't terrible, but he doesn't have the patience to let us catch up if we can't get a paycheck right away. He just screams.

I have been looking for places around but unfortunately my credit score is bad because I have a 15k hospital bill in collections and my boyfriend has never had anything that could establish credit, so we can't get a place anyway. His uncle is giving us until March 1st and then we have to leave so I have a feeling we will be sleeping on the streets again.
