Hi all
Please no nasty comments as I am desperate, you will soon see why.
In 2009 I was kicked out of my family home due to me suffering severe depression and not getting on with my mum, I went to my local council to make them aware. I got asked 2 questions. Were you born in England? (yes) Do you have kids? (no) and was then told 'doubt we can help you.
I have been sofa surfing since then but really need my own place to get myself back on my feet.
I've been to the council numerous times, stating I'm homeless. My doc has written letters as well to no avail. I even tried to commit suicide because of the stress, upon leaving hospital I called the council in tears and told them what had happened just to be told 'we have no obligation to help you'
I have a curvature of the spine plus weak core muscles which leave me in daily pain and needing physio and strong painkillers so sofa surfing leaves me crippled daily.
I even asked if they would help me leave London to which I was told 'no one is keeping you here'
They've lost my 'file' so many times I've lost count!!
Now my friend has found out she's pregnant and I would love to use her test to take to the council as they would surely give me some place to stay. I know it would be fraud but I'm at the end of my tether.
I can't beat my depression, self harming or suicidal thoughts.
I need help badly but no one is willing to help me, even ignoring my docs letters stating I am a vulnerable person and a danger to myself if I do not get my own accommodation and settle down to start treatment.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
TIA
