Homelessness | ADHD Information

Yeah, I would have been homeless with a toddler if someone had not taken me in. Scary place to be with a kid. Never been a issue but could live in a tent if need be. I could cook in a dutch oven of need be also. I would work fast food even if I had to. Hey, I posted this so I figure I should respond.

Always almost homeless. Just one less friend, or a slightly less existent relationship with family, a slightly uglier smile, age a few years to look less baby like,  and I would be outside all the time. Trying to change this, it's bad.

 

twice before, and maybe soon again.

i don't manage money well, not that i've ever had all that much to manage.

have trouble keeping a normal job, so i try to be self-employed. great when it's working, but can be lots of ups and downs, and everything up in the air, esp. with me at the controls.

i know severe depressive episodes play a major role in this. sometimes i can't get up enough to do what i need to when i get down. things go farther off the rails than they would if i had a grip on my mind.

I have been homeless once - in my early twenties.  It was one of those leaps without looking.  I landed really badly.  I have decided NEVER to be in that place again!  I may still overlook lots of the consequences of my actions, but I have never overlooked the saftey net/fall back plan since then.

I've been homeless when on a major drug binge... Completely self inflicted...

You can get so caught up in the drugs you don't care where you live.

That would be scary countrygirl. I'm glad you had someonr to help you.

  With out friends and family, I would have been homeless.  I have recently gotten my own apartment... I'm so scared something will happen and I won't be able to afford it...I can barely afford it.  I work in a furniture store and I have no furniture.  But... I have my own space.

For now!

If it weren't for my parents or others, my husband and I would have been homeless in the past...

He never has a problem keep jobs and making money, just a problem managing bills.  I try to help but I am just as bad as he is.

I don't know if you can count being homeless as living in a hotel?  At least we have a roof over our heads.  Hotels don't check credit.  If they did, we'd be homeless right now.
