i ended up homeless because i suffered repeated trauma, became unable to function, and didnt have the support system required to stay housed. i was sober the whole time i was homeless until the very end when i did some pills and went into psychosis. i guess because i went into psychosis my family stepped up for me and now i live at home. things are fine i am working to recover. but i find it really hard to care about pets or do much to facilitate anything beyond their basic survival. my parents have 5 pets and a common source of friction is that i am mostly unwilling to take care of them.

i know eventually i should just relax and understand pets are a normal part of society and i hope in time i will get there, but i wanted to hear if other people had gone through something similar? i feel its so directly linked to my pain and rejection i feel from being homeless so i hope this is an appropriate place to ask. im grateful for how much mental health stability has already provided and i pray for more in the future

i also want to add that i know for some people in our shoes their pet is their saving grace when they really have no one so i know my reaction is only one part of the picture

thanks everyone for even taking the time to help me with what is really my own damn problem lol

tl;dr im wondering how many people noticed a major decrease in their ability to care for animals after being homeless

i know the idea gets floated comedically a lot but i genuinely want to do a bay area meetup. idk would any of you be interested? we could do it in dolores park?

"my friend call me slave"

cause he's in a sub dom relationship with everyone he knows

his hit single "Power-bottom"

that's all i got

havent had a friend or dated in around 7 years since the 2nd accusation. it leveled me i could barely make it through 1. made a friend and socialized with him, he said lets hang with my buddy we hang every friday at this bar you could join us regularly, i say sure, his buddy turns out to be a guy i knew from the group the accused me. this guy never seemed to care or treat me bad but on the other hand was definitely never warm to me either. my first thought was to hang a few more times and keep my eyes out. my instinct in the days since has been to just cut and run from them both, let my new friend know politely if he even reaches out again that its nothing personal against either but i dont like to associate with anyone from that group and wont be able to hang again. how would you guys handle it?
