Someone to speak to?

Does anyone who doesn’t mind at all hearing about someone’s terrible life experiences want to meet up and try and distract me from the God awful things happening to me right now? I’m 23M black gay if those things matter

No money, food till 15th, local support ?

Hi all, I have a really long story to tell but tbh I’ve not eaten properly since the weekend so I’m going to try and keep it short.

I had to clear my entire bank account to secure private rented accommodation, 23M, got kicked out of my family home (I’m gay and they’re African) and I was an independent student at university. I have mental health illnesses and a physical gut condition - still haven’t been able to get any PIP yet but luckily I’ve managed to hold a full time job this whole year.

Anyway I got my studies terminated in the winter of 2025 and had to commute from my uni city to London for work to pay my rent as I couldn’t find any full time employment in the midlands. I’m still in lots of debt to my old landlord as well as other priority debts. As I was being made homeless from my student flat last month and my I’m estranged I had zero choice but to use my entire paycheck to secure accommodation in London - moved to Walthamstow now though I grew up in hackney and my family are in Haringey and Enfield.

Anyway my point is, without giving a huge sob story, is what local food support and monetary assistance may I be eligible for? I’ve already applied for the crisis fund but it doesn’t seem the councils process these applications urgently at all? I’ve asked everyone I can possibly think of for loans, I’ve even nearly took part in survival sex

TfL has pushed my account into overdraft with 10 days till my pay left and tins of tuna with nothing else to keep me going. Can anyone advise me on my options for immediate support, considering I have no family or friends to support me?

Parents causing mental illness?

Idk what to say. But I have CPTSD, depression. I had psychosis before at a point. Finished CBT and my parents fucked me up iclll. I have a step dad. My biological dad dipped. My step dad treated me like he was in competition with me for my mum from when I was a 7 year old. 5% of the story. My parents stopped me from having a audhd assessment when I was 11 :/ . We know this is rooted in cyclical patterns harboured by a dangerous culture and that our parents won’t change. However my mental illnesses stole a lot from me and what I’m going through atm has given me the breakthrough that my parents are the sole reason for my mental illnesses and not my molester
