No rental properties. Going to be homeless and so scared

We are a family of 4 mature adults, ages 78, 68, 47 & 43. We can afford rent up to £2k pcm, but there are just no properties available. We have searched up to 40 miles within all directions from my sister's job, but the competition is so fierce and we keep losing out despite being financially stable and looking for long term! I am absolutely in despair, we are going to be homeless! Our current landlord is selling our property, I just don't know what to do. We also have a cat and I just can't give him up. I can't sleep or eat, I might as well be dead, this situation is so awful, the worse I have ever experienced in my life. I feel so unsafe. Any advice please? Thank you

Hello @Cola133 we're sorry to hear of your situation and wish you all the very best in getting a home sorted soon.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek real-life help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Some further support links:

NHS: Where to get urgent help for mental health
NHS: Looking after your mental health
MIND: Coping with mental health problems during coronavirus
CALM: The Campaign Against Living Miserably
NHS: Help for suicidal thoughts

Very best wishes from MNHQ.
