Herb- you too! How have you been? Thank you for your advice.
Also- your post on another thread about Buddhism has inspired me to explore it more, I've started reading up on their philosophies, reading the "Anxious Buddhist" online which is really interesting. Thank you as I was feeling so hopeless before.
I ended up going out for a walk which really helped me put things in perspective. I figure, I need to stop dwelling on the past, move on and help others. I have so much energy and I need to channel it into something good, so I've been researching and applying for volunteer jobs, such as working with the homeless, mentoring at a probation office, reading to kids. I've also signed up to join St Johns Ambulance, they fully train you with first aid and you can work events.
Papa- .
That sounds so stressful, it would be horrible to give your cats up. Hopefully you can find a place to house them or give them to relatives or friends?
With your housing situation- the same thing happened to me. Has the landlord already found new tenants? If not, is there no chance you could extend your lease, and find other housemates to fill the rooms? Also, mine gave me an extension and instead of moving out in June the next year I stayed till September, just before the new people moved in. Maybe you could come to some arrangement?
Also, I'm not sure where you are from, if you're from the UK I strongly suggest going to your council, tell them you are about to be made homeless and have no where to go, and they can help move you into accommodation. I was put into a shared house, others are put into hostels. It's not the best of places, but the rent was extremely cheap and gave me time to move into somewhere proper. Good luck x
