I have just split up from my partner. He owns the house and has told me to leave. I am now officially jobless and homeless. When I. ove out I have to leave my cat as I will have to rent. I don't have enough to buy anywhere.
I also have a life threatening heart problem and major depressive disorder, along with chronic pain, adenomyosis, irritable bowel and other ailments.
In the last few years this is what has happened:
September Father moved into hospice care
August made redundant.
July moved house for the fourth time in four years.
June: attended leaving event at work; emptied office; major disagreement with sister.
May: partner attempted suicide; dealing with house move and given redundancy notice.
April: called to London as son binge drinking, self harming and threatening suicide.
March: father in law died; travel to Holland for father in law's funeral
February: travelled to Holland as father in law gravely ill.
January - moved out of flat, belongings in storage.
January- April three episodes of bronchitis and tonsillitis.
October 2016: bought house; department review; satisfactory observation; asked about ill health retirement/redundancy
September 2016: back to work.
August 2016: reconciliation with partner
February 2016: moved into flat
January 2016: relationship breakdown
September 2015: returned to work after 12 months absence following two suicide attempts (part time and reduced responsibility. No support offered)
April 2015: suicide attempt #3 (hotel/alcohol/drugs/self harm/bath run)
February 2015: discharged from psychiatry
Assessed at PDU - not appropriate stream
November 2014: discharged from day hospital
September 2014: discharged from inpatient
August 2014: suicide attempt #2; (railway platform) voluntary patient on locked ward
June 2014: suicide attempt #1 (attempted hanging)
2013 ongoing divorce/house sale
December 2013: left husband
November 2013 drug overdose (just wanted to sleep)
October 2013: Dog euthanised
August 2013: Dad diagnosed with cancer
June 2013: cardiac surgery
December 2012: mother in ITU
May - October 2012: son has breakdown
2011-2013 ongoing bullying and dispute at work

I have reached the point where I am struggling not to take all of the pills that I have - more than enough to make sure I never wake up. People say I have to stay around for my son and for other people. But what if my life is literally unbearable?

You've had a terrible lot to deal with over the years.
Regarding your housing situation, could you get in touch with your local council about accommodation or the charity Shelter.

That's alright. Bumping this thread, I'm sure more people can come up with other ideas too. Best wishes.
