To ask what you would do.

[CupidIsFired]

My head is a mess and I cant think straight. Had an argument with my mum and shes told me I need to leave I dont have enough to get a flat deposit and the thought of going to council right now is making me have panic attacks.

A friend offered me to stay with her but she loves 2 hours away
Theres a hotel nearby for £80 for 2 nights. I just need away from here but I have a 2 year old.

I have no one who can take me in, only person up here is my brother but he says we cant stay there. He says he can come with me to council on monday though.

What do I do. I can afford the hotel right now, I thought this would he a good idea to get some headspace. Or doni get over my anxiety and go to council right now with DD.

What an awful situation. No reconciliation with your Mum? Go to the council for your dd sake.
Whatever you do next it will be difficult. You may as well make long term plans.
Your mum has given up, you will not. You will do what is right for your child. Go to the council.

Can you phone your local housing and say you are homeless with a child, im sure they can arrange accommodation for you.

I hope someone else comes on with better help

Hugs to you, it will get better x

@windycuntryside my mum told me that she wants me to move back to our hometown which is a 9 hour train journey away. I said but if I do that then you wont see DD and she shrugged and said well if it means you're out of my life then so be it.

You go to the council now. Don't dick about with your childs security

Just go to the council!

@Travis1 someone told me if I go to council they will put me in b&b because theres a long waiting list for housing here, and that the b&b is full of drugs and all sorts. I dont know if it's true but its made me very anxious about it

What a horrible situation for you op.
Why don’t you go to the council and find out if it’s true? The best thing for me when I’m anxious is to take action, it loosens the grip hold the anxiety has on me.

If you find somewhere to go then you won't be 'homeless' and will fall down the priority list. Go to see the council....long-term it should work out much better for you...

Go to the council now and get some certainty. Otherwise you'll spend the weekend in the dark working yourself into even more of a state.

I hope you get sorted but I agree with others that going to the council with your dd is your best option. Good luck.

You really need to go to the council. Yes you will probably end up in a b&b or hostel but you don't exactly have a lot of options right now. Get your mum to write a letter saying that she's evicting you as of today and get straight down to the housing offices.
It's only a temporary solution and eventually you will be offered more permanent and suitable accommodation.

Go to the council. You say you have no other option. Either that or sleep with your kid on the streets. You will prob get a B&B 9if they have any space). They aren't nice but if it's a necessity it's better than nothing.

Why won’t your mum let you live with her

Go to the Council OP. It's not always a B&B. They have studio flats too as a very temporary measure & you get priority having a child. My place was a not v nice studio, but Housing dept's have a policy of offering private landlords £1200 incentive to take you as a private tenant to free up Council's temporary emergency housing. So I was moved to that scheme & a way nicer place after 6 weeks. Only proviso is housing benefit goes direct to new landlord.

@CupidIsFired it isn't always a b&b and there are always folk who will tell you their horror stories.

I'm not being mean but what is a weekend in a hotel going to do other than drive your anxiety through the roof in the run up to Monday. Better to go today and get the ball rolling. ood luck!

Go to council. Start ball rolling asap. Good luck OP.
