i‘ve been watching interviews with homeless people on the Invisible People youtube channel (highly recommend), and one thing that struck me is how skin deep most support networks are. having friends and family vanish the second they could come up with a reasonable excuse seems to be the hardest part for many of them.

Its dangerous to talk to anybody out here. I feel like I am taking a huge risk even posting about it.

If someone is close enough to talk to you they are close enough to hurt you.

To your point I had reached out to a collge girlfriend after my accident in 2017. She asked for my address and I gave her c/o Chrysalis which is a work help program here in Santa Monica. Unfortunately, she wanted to do somethinf nice so she sent a care package of shampoo and other things but I will never know. Chrysalis kicked me out for 'abusing' their mail service. I never even saw the package she sent to me. I received 2 dentist bills, 0 responses to the resumes i was sending out, and 1 unannounced care package. I am so clearly not an abuser of anything except possibly myself somehow.

Thank you. I would upvote your comment but havent yet found out how.

Holy shit, I never noticed that link until now.

You, sir, get an upvote that I will most certainly not be withdrawing.
