Dignity, self esteem, you can wave goodbye to them now until you're back on your feet. Live off cheap arse tins of soup, cheapest food you can find. Spend no money you come across on anything that you'd consider fun. Food, hygiene and a bed. That's it.
Trust me, I've almost been in your position but managed to make amends to get a roof over my head. I still couldn't afford anything but food and leeched off someone's internet without em knowing to keep on top of job searching.
Break the law (to an extent), commit fraud, do anything. If you can get hold of a monthly payment catalogue account, order as much expensive shit as possible with no intent of paying it back, and just sell it. Fuck the world, coz your survival is the most important thing right now, and any morals you hold dear mean nothing.
You can get out of this, you just need to be smart and devious about it.
It's hard for me to do this last part, 'cause I know of a guy that's in jail right now for doing just that via fake credits.
I've been homeless for about 3 years in the past (18-21 years of age).
I know a little something about surviving but... I don't know, I'm lacking the will and the fact I'm not seeing anywhere else to turn right now nor what I can't possibly do is taking it's tool. Maybe it's also 'cause I'm older now. I don't know...
Sorry everyone for taking this much place with all this drama.
To compensate you I give you a funny story.
When I was homeless I won a Gamecube and got a second hand Phantasy Star Online Eps 1 and 2.
I had 'set camp' in the middle of a pinewood and I invested the little money I had on buying a shitload of extensions to grab electricity from a vacancy house nearby.
I played more than 300 hours of PSO Eps 1 and 2 like that.
How cool is that?
Well worth all the lame talk, yeah? :p
