looks like i'm going to be homeless for a bit. Any advice?

dude, i think its time to seek help, and really mean it.
im pretty sure your folk will help you out, but you have to put some effort into things.

you have a family, a home, a girl perhaps, and no real reason to keep on a self destructive behaviour. being homeless and alcoholic sounds like a bad way to spend your youth.
seek help. either from professionals, doctors or psychologists, or even just family of friends.
 
apologies to BL for freaking out a bit, i'd just had an argument with my parents and girlfriend after 5 days of drinking and 2 days of MDMA. Had a moment where it all felt too much, anxiety was really doing me in and I was drunk as fuck and got over dramatic. Really it's far too early in my life to even be considering suicide, got so much time to get my act together, and I don't really, it was just a single moment where things got a bit too much.

Probably need to stay away from psycho actives for a bit, including (especially actually) booze, because it seems to be making things worse. Except for the occasional, planned and prepared for LSD trip, which actually seems to have massive benefits.

Immediately contact all of the local hostels/homeless charities and services in your area, like today, because as young male (I believe?) you will be back of the queue when it comes to housing.

Get on that phone and start hammering the numbers now.

This, this and this again. Friends and/or family may be able to help out with sofa-surfing for a while but believe me that gets old fast. Get in touch with any and all homelessness-related charities and organisations in your area immediately and get your name on the list at least. It may not be too chilly out to get by at the moment but that will change and there's a gazillion things you'll never think of that will come up in between times. Washing? Showering/bathing? Shitting? Eating? That's just the basics. Losing your home makes more of a difference than is possible to appreciate initially.

I have particular issues with this kinda stuff cos I directly attribute my junkydom to being made homeless in the middle of winter cos it was all that was between me and freezing and/or suicide and/or insanity. It's no way to live. The homeless support where I lived was actually pretty damn good and helped me get into a place reasonably soonish. I had to go through a number of tried/failed sofa-surfing and general staying with friends and acquaintances stuff first though which would've been handy to avoid in hindsight given the trouble it got me into.

Seek help. It is there. It takes time so the earlier you get your name down the better.
 
If you're a hot, sexy virgin female you can come and live here.

If you're not tough shit I(or anyone else) don't(doesn't) give a fuck.

How about you go find a homeless person and ask how they are doing... sure they can give you great advice
 
@Hexagram, how have things been between you & your parents since you made your original post?
Have you managed to resolve the situation between you all and stay living with them?
 
There is some very sound advice here and like many say maybe you can reason with your parents. If that fails this will sound crazy but get a letter from your parents which states that you are unable to stay under their roof and that they are making you deliberatly homeless and their goodwill has now stopped and you are estranged from them. Council's often ask for this.
Then go to your council housing department with some form of preferably photo ID and be prepared to sit and wait a long time.

Local councils have specific legal duties towards homeless people. If any person who is homeless or threatened with homelessness approaches the council for help, it has to provide them with advice and assistance.
While you may not be considered by them as 'priority' they have a duty to advice you towards local homeless charities. If you can sofa surf at a friends etc do it..do not tell the council this tell them you will be rough sleeping.
This is going to take a huge amount of effort..put in the effort. I have worked with rough sleepers and it is not something you want to be even considering as an inbetween option even if the weather is not so bad now.,

ADDITIONALLY-Go to this website...enter your postcode for local advice and also use the free phone number for further advice.

If your Gp knows about any mental health, drug and alcohol problems you have or have had ask them for a letter supporting your vulnerability and need for more prioritised help when you see housing people etc.
DO IT NOW.

I wish you lots of luck. <3
