I might be homeless in a couple of months and I'm not really sure what to do.
Forum rules
We ask that users looking for general, ongoing emotional support post in this area of the boards, and that you use this space to both ask for, give and receive that support primarily from each other, rather than from our staff and volunteers. As a staff, we simply are often too overextended with all we need to do in running the organization and its services to do that for extended periods of time, and one of our main aims of our community at the boards has always been to facilitate peers to better be there for each other.
Users often report that they have no in-person peers they can talk to or seek support from: we want this to be a space for online peer support and somewhere everyone can get some practice asking for, getting and giving support so that doing it with people in your lives feels more doable.
Please remember that neither staff, volunteers nor your fellow users can provide or replace mental healthcare when that is something you need. Users struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, abuse or physical health issues are strongly encouraged to seek out qualified, in-person help with those issues in addition to peer or staff support.

So, I'm turning 18 soon and my grandmother and me can't afford to live on our own without my aunt's help. And my aunt is moving out when our lease expires. I'm not finished with high school, so it's not really possible for me to work full-time like that... I'm really overwhelmed with this and I would just like some comfort and help.

Hi Kittypink,
I'm so sorry you find yourself facing this situation, and I'm crossing my fingers that there is a positive way this can be resolved. The prospect of losing a living situation can be so incredibly stressful and frustrating to deal with, and I'm sending as many good vibes your way as I can. Have you been able to set aside time (even just a few minutes) for yourself to do some self-care or get support from friends?
Since housing is outside of our scope of expertise, something I'd recommend is finding a local housing resource to connect to as soon as you can. Do you have a sense of where to find that resource or where to start looking for it?

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
