I was born august 17 1997. Im 18 now and i have been brutuly depressed since i was 9. I was in the group home since i was 9 and got out 4 years ago cuz i couldnt stand being so depressed. I was left alone and have been alone for a very long time. My family has abandoned me and i cant stand this feeling of beeing lonely. I have hallusonations and visions and sleep paralysis. I have been homeless for 3 years. Im dead broke and i only smoke weed and drink not often. Im so stuck. I want to die but i cant. I have one person that needs me in life. Maybe i should waste my life getting drunk on the streets idk. I want to be someone. I love helping people. I just…i need to help myself first but how can i do that when im so alone. Broke and without food or a house. I dont know where im going. I just know i want to die because this life seems to rough to live in. I live in santa rosa california of united states. Someone please help me…

Hi, I am so sorry you’ve been so hurt. You can be someone. You can definitely have a future. You just need a stronger foundation and you need help. Help is out there.. Is there anywhere you can go to get some services? You shouldn’t be on the streets. I can search some numbers for you in Santa Rosa if you need.
Thank u but I have found help and I’m moving Into a studio soon! But thank u so much. I thought my post was just gonna be ignored
I am 44 years old. (My middle daughter is your age. ) My life has taken many, many, many twists and turns since I was 18. I have wanted to disappear into nothingness. I have wanted to leave this llife a thousand times. I haven’t yet give in and I have experienced love and joy, too.
You have a destiny. You have a purpose. Happiness will come along with the despair.. And contentment will come, too.
Never give up. Never lose hope.
I would think you would know about this, but just in case…

You don’t necessarily have to have yourself straightened out before you can help others. Many things in life are incremental and concurrent. Perhaps helping others is a way for you to help yourself!
I hope you find safety, security, and purpose.
Thank u, I’ve always thought nothing gets better, but maybe it does. Idk. We’ll see I guess.
Try to hang on. There are so many people that could use your help in any number of ways. Take you own situation one day at a time. Do you receive any disability benefits? If you were further south I could be more helpful. ?
Broken people sometimes are the best helpers.
Holy shit,
You are exactly 10 months older than me. I was born on 17 june 1998.
Do you think we can talk here on SP or on email cus this the first time i found someone that close to my age and therefore might actually get me.
Yes of course. Um prncavery@gmail.com
