      Well, I don’t know you
      I don’t know where you’re from,
      I don’t know what medical problems you have had previous,
      I don’t know what age you are.

      So guessing will be sort of stupid.

      Can’t you go to the doctors or a hospital where you live to be checked out?
      It don’t help being paranoid, that don’t make it better, might even make it worse.

      *You're my favorite place to go to when my mind searches for peace *

      It’s me lulling myself in to a frenzy of panic, amoxicillin turns me in to a plonker, it scrambles my head to the point where I become gullible as fook.
      When I made this thread I should have been in bed, fast asleep.

        Quit smoking full stop , go jogging a few times a week an for gods sake eat healthy – people really umderestimate hpw important this is.

        Since going on a health kick im practicaly never ill, i never take meds and when i do get a bug it usually goes really quick.

        Eat fresh fish, fruit and veg – anf keep yout head full with books and take some time consuming hobbies (music production, fishing..what ever really )
        Just do your best to change your life style and try not to mull on how shit you feel 🙂

        I never knew you was on the street.

        All I know is when the weather is like this, you do not want to spent even one night on the bricks. Have you not been to any support angencies?

        Unfortunately where I live the only support service is run by the local council, and they have there hands tied by Tory legislation. Which means the only way they can help is by passing the gauntlet so to speak. AVDC basically refuse to do anything on the basis of ‘its not our problem’, nice to know they value human life.
        I’ve been looking in to taking legal action against them, gross miss negligence, reckless endangerment and medical negligence.

        Hmmm, well if you have a drug addiction, you could walk into a rehab and get a bed 😀

        Sorry log humor

        I didn’t know this either. What town are you in?

        I was homeless for about a year maybe 20 years ago but I was lucky enough never to have to sleep rough because I had friends who’s couches to sleep on. It wasn’t long before most of them were less than happy with me not sorting it out though. Looking back all I had to do was find a place and get housing benefit I just wasn’t together enough.

        I know the avalability of benefits has changed but I think you should have options other than sleeping rough so please look into them.

        Regardless if you need someoney short term maybe we should have a wip round and get you some…

        And yes if you’re sick and worried go see a doctor right away! 🙂

        In brighton we have plenty of rehabs. I don’t joke when I say I could walk into the referral centre and be given a bed the same day. I have seen it happen on multiple occasions. But trust me these rehabs are not the most exciting places to be. No TV before 6pm. Meeting every night at 7pm. No going out on your own and only in groups of threes (this is for accountability reasons is someone gets busted the other two get kicked out too for not grassing) You get your own room but as I said it is mega boring.

        Just noticed dB wasn’t addressing me in his last post. LOL

        Never mind.

        The benefits system has changed but everyone homeless is entilted to housing benefit. You first need to be on some sort of benefit or a low income, then you need to find a ved sit to rent, fill in a tenancy agreement and then take it to your local housing department.
        As dr B said, most people on the streets are not usually in the right state to be able to do all this, thus there are a lot of homeless people.

        Initially finding a bedsit/ flat is quite hard, and you are climbing over other people.

        You can find bed sits and flats advertised on gumtree (filter the search to private landlords only)
        Email the landlord a polite letter (if they advertise a number always ring instead of email) asking for a viewing.
        Dress really smart, have an amiable disposition (have a bit of chit chat with them)

        Although I do not condone lying, landlords do not need to know you are on housing benefit and when you take your tenancy agreement to the housing office you can ask that they do not contact your landlord.

        Even if you start of with a shit bedsit, make sure you respect the gaff and pay rent on time as you can always use that landlord for a reference when you next look for a place.

        You can also get yourself on the council list as you are quite high priority – even whilst you are on the list you can still find a private landlord…you will still stay on that list. ( my mum went on the list whilst her and my bro were living in a two bed house with my nan and it wasnt till she moved out anf found a house with her boyfriend she got given a house…which she turned down)

        If you need any more advice, feel free to fb me mate. I know how fucking hard all this is and Ive been through all this before.

        That’s some good advice right there. 🙂

        In the past 4 days of making this thread I’ve had word from a supported housing organization, they asked to go for an informal meeting to see who I am AMD such. Judging by there reaction to my general persona, demeema and mental & physical health they seemed quite interested in helping me. I’m awaiting a phone call on Friday at the earliest or wednesday at the latest. The main crux of there interest was my ecology degree, as they have a very large garden area which is going to waste and they were keen to utilize it….but personally I think they want me there to sort it out so they don’t have to go through the local councils landscaping contractor.
        So yeah, shit is looking like its on the up, but obviously I’m not going to get my hopes up as I have horrid luck with such things.

        But shall keep one and all posted!
