Damn. Well you’ve got more of a runway than I currently do, so you’re on top of things…
But yeah, I… was homeless for a while… took years to recover from the more acute PTSD type shit that left me with… I guess I’ve just got slightly different version of the long term hypervigilance scarring than you.
The ‘constant potential threat analysis’ variant.
One of these days, we will build a future that is not so bleak.
I’m lucky in that my hobbies and interests were able to secure me a decently well paying job and I don’t have any major ailments or dependencies (no kids or family to take care of beyond my dog). I’m certainly not “heterosexual white male” privileged, but I can’t say I pulled the shortest straw by any means.
Sorry to hear you’ve been in worse straights. I was on the brink of homelessness for a month or two like 2 3 years ago and the thought of living on my own or with people I am not compatible with was terrifying. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Somehow someway, man. That’s been the motto since 2018.

Somehow, someway … it must be done.
The alternative is unacceptable.
