Feel like giving up

[Iwant2giveup]

Been ringing so many refuges today, they tell me they haven't got any space available. Been ringing woman's aid all day, they're too busy.

I just feel like giving up and staying, get a job and find my own accommodation, even though life here is unbearable and he's upped the abuse. What can I do when I've done everything I could and nobody's helping me

is there literally no one you can go to for help in your life? Family? A friend you've drifted apart from? If someone I knew needed me for help I'd want to help.

Is there anyone at all who you can ask? Family or a friend? Even if someone wasn't massively close to me, I would still help them if they needed it

Keep trying women's aid - you will get through eventually.

Are there any refuges you haven't tried? Can you look at some further away?

Keep posting as people on here generally have good ideas/advice x

No I don't have anywhere to go, I'm phoning womens aid now, it's 3am and they're still busy.

Sometimes I wonder since it's busy, how did those calling before me get through? I mean I've been calling them all day!

Therw might be other agencies that can help. I know when my friend went into a refuge it was through a team connected with the council. It did take a few days though.

If you say or pm your area we could see if there is someone you can call other than womens aid?

Stay strong. Keep at it. You can do this.

How are things at home tonight? Dont hesitate to call the police if you need to.

Where are you op? UK? If so, whereabouts?

I'm in London, east london.

I am going to have a little google. Be back soon. Are yoy safe right now?

What council are you under? If you don't want to say, google domestic violene help and the council and you hopefully will get something.

So many spelling mistakes. Hope you can make sense of what i have written. Sorry.

Another hopeful link, your area and 24 hr help line

I’m sorry to hear this OP. I’m near east London and there’s a refuge called Solace - have you tried that one?

Thank you so much wonderwoo, I've just left them a voicemail hopefully they will get back to me. I think I just need to call them for an hour or two straight. I call them a few times, then leave it for a few hours then call again. I think that's the problem.

Sammy I've tried calling aanchal, even though they're saying 24 hour helpline they're closed and told me to call the national helpline in stead.

Emily yes I've tried solace womens aid, the thing is they only got refuges in London and I don't want to stay in London, could they find space for me in another refuge?

Do try the local council idea too. That is how my friend got into a refuge. You are doing well. Keep going.

OP - are you OK at the moment?

iwant are you okay?
