I have survived several horrible relationships. I am an idiot who cannot tell when they are being used.I live platonically with a gentle person who stood beside me throughout all the trouble of my life.
However, I am losing our home of many many years, my refuge and joy… it was provided via my job.
I have done sensible things like contact relevant agencies and seek advice, but I feel like my head will burst. I seem to go round and round in circles.
I will also lose my small income.
I am unable to work like others do, I have a horrible painful condition. I have applied for a benefit, but it was soooo triggering, I felt terrible throughout the interview, it was cold and hostile.
My dear person is on a low salary. His family are wealthy but don’t seem to want to help us.
For all sorts of reasons I am finding this intensely difficult and it keeps re-jogging powerful memories of loss,pain and terrible, terrible fear.
Then I am inert and can not do a thing for the sorrow and losses of my not-very-nice life.
Please tell me things will improve. I just need to feel safe and I do not. I feel old and worn out.My friend is so kind but has own problems… -
I am so sorry you are feeling this way, I can’t offer any advice other than find out from your local job centre, council or citizens advice bureau what benefits and housing arrangements you may be entitled to and go from there.
I hope things improve soon, maybe visit your gp for some advice and maybe some meds to help keep you calm during the fear and anxiety. Good luck

Dear teatime
I can really relate! I have huge difficulties and find it impossible often to even speak, and some speak in absolutely inhumane ways to those suffering.
I thibk, if you can find it, you could do with some advocacy support. Mind offers advocacy, there are other agencies that can help you with benefits also.
If your dear person doesn’t have independent financial means you both need housing support. Try speaking directly with your local housib dept to find out your options. I find using the fone or email easier than face to face. Also you could contact shelter, and cab online, they have a chat option.
I do hope you are able to connect with someone to help soon. Keep posting, as much as you can, its much better than sitting alone with it goi g round your head.
Warmest wishes ts
