Need a hand hold

[Imbluedalale]

That’s just it really. I really need a cuddle but that’s not possible so can anybody just support me right now? My mental health is on the floor right now I’ve never felt as low it’s making me feel so ill

Hi RaspberryBeretxx,
I can’t believe my mum either but I’m trying not to think about her lack of love and care for me because it upsets me tremendously, it actually hurts my insides when I think about it .
If a train had come on the platform I was on they would have been her last words to me. She knew I was on the streets with cancer and paralysed and she couldn’t care one bit . It breaks my heart.
I have no family I’ve lost everything and everyone .
The police were brilliant with me , all of them were . They were shocked at everything that has happened and that the council had put me there as they know it well as they get a lot of call outs there.
Thank you for the love and luck xx

Thank you but I don’t want you going out of your way and use up your free time for me. Your support is already enough xx

Hi Apolloneuro,
I hope you’re ok?
It was so unbelievably kind for @TealPoet to book me in for 3 nights and I’m so grateful she has done that . Bless her
I have thought about that and when the council ring me today I will mention I need accommodation from Saturday and see if something can get booked in from them but after yesterday I am
not holding any hope xx

Are you ok for food and snacks @Imbluedalale ? X

@Imbluedalale remember that the council won’t help you until the actual day you are homeless, will they, so will they set something up for Saturday?

I’m not trying to panic you, but I’m worried about Saturday coming and you’ll just be in the same position.

Contact your MP. She will need your details, like your phone number and full name etc.

Make sure you eat something today. Xx

Hi PeggyMitchellsCameo,
Im not hungry at the moment but there is a vending machine downstairs . Thank you xx

Thank you Apolloneuro.
I will send her an email now explaining everything .
And I know what you mean about Saturday I am waiting for the council to call me to explain what’s happened since last night xx

Might the police now be able to put pressure on the council? Can you remember any of the names of the officers from last night? They’re an official agency, not a charity as that has caused issues.

Laura, before you do that, can you make it down to the vending machine and get a snack and some water, please. Eat it and drink. Then email. Got to keep your strength up.

I have just logged on and seen you are safe - I can't tell you how happy I am!! Massive massive hug incoming - watch out, here it comes!! I'm actually lost for words in relief!

I was so all over the place last night - reading my messages back, it sounds like I started the search going. That was absolutely not the case - Rethink and the police were already looking for you Laura when I called. I'm so so glad they were, and that they found you.

That’s a great idea to contact your mp.

One option with the council is just to not mention the extra days already booked for now. Then if you get a decent council option you can just take it. A hotel overlap isn’t the worst thing that could happen right now and @TealPoet ’s huge generosity will still mean you can get through today knowing that whatever the council do, you’ll have a secure place.

hope you can get some food even if it’s vending machine. Do you have a kettle in there? At least you can have a cup of tea. If you can make it out even just to a garage or small shop nearby, you could get noodles/instant pasta and instant porridge pots if you like them to have something warm. If I was nearer I’d come and bring you some food and a big cuddle!

Please stay safe. Lots of love and hugs xx

Am so relieved you are safe today. Was worried for you last night, can't think of any words of comfort right now but am sending you a big hug. Hoping the homeless team will find you somewhere more suitable today.

@Imbluedalale I literally cried as I read your update about the police finding you, and as a mum I cannot believe the callousness of your mother.
I am another one that is so glad you didn’t succeed at the train station. Please know that you are very valuable and special, and so many of us care about you.
Please don’t tell the council you have extra nights booked at the Travelodge, they will just use it to justify not sorting a suitable place for you.
Did the police say they were going to raise a safeguarding referral about you to adult social services as that is what they should do. Also, please contact your own social worker to let them know your situation as they are able to liaise with the council as another professional on your side. You need to get as many professionals as possible to put pressure on the council to provide suitable housing that doesn’t put you at risk and meets your needs.
Sending big hugs and hopes for a better day 🤗💐

The police spoke to the council last night and said it’s really not acceptable where they was wanting to put me , they wouldn’t budge at first took about 3 phone calls until they did .
The police officer name was PC Dillalo I can’t remember name of other one but PC Dillalo was the main one there for me .
I have just sent an email to the MP but it says it may take 14 days to get back to me xx

I’m really not hungry Apolloneuro,
Ive been being sick this morning a few times think it’s with all the stress xx

Massive hugs you wonderful woman. No wonder you are stressed! I'm so so sorry you are going through all this

Thank you ChoccieCornflake,
Im so sorry I had you all worried I feel terrible for that 😞
Thank you for the hug I really needed it .
And thank you for calling Rethink and seeing if I was ok xx

I know they was ChoccieCornflake,
I wasn’t going to that hotel they wanted me to go to I was adamant about that . I got upset when they said having a fear of men is not a valid reason for turning it down . I just felt absolute despair I still do now tbh xx

Thank you RaspberryBeretxx,
I do feel safe here and thanks to @TealPoet i don’t have to worry about leaving at 12pm today.
I have sent a long email to my MP.
Yes I have a kettle I need to take my medication so I will have a cup of tea soon . I was promised a call from council at 8am this morning and they still havnt rang . Will give it until 11am and then call them xx

Thank you very much CleverLemonCat,
Im honestly overwhelmed with all your lovely caring messages . It’s makes me feel less alone. I honestly never thought leaving and being homeless would be this bad .
Thank you for the hug it is greatly appreciated today xx

Don't feel terrible!!! We care about you and you matter - that's nothing to feel bad about! You are going through a horrible situation and it pushed you to the edge - there's no shame or blame in that. Just know that you are not alone, and that you matter, and that we care.

Right now I wish I could give you another massive hug, and then storm into the council offices and give them what for! It's probably a good job I'm NOT near Doncaster!

Get that tea down you - tea is always good!

Email update from MP…

Awww I’m so sorry for making you cry AdmittowearingCrocs,
Thank you so much with your kind words , they mean everything to me .
Yes a safeguarding referral has been done .
I never thought I’d say this but life was better when I was getting knocked about a-bit and having emotional abuse every day. I thought that was hell but this …..
I’ve got my support workers phoning the council this morning but they won’t budge still xx

Excellent update from your MP. In my experience, MPs have clout.
