OK! So, at my grandma's at the moment, im pretty much homeless, i ran from my moms house and i refuse to go back even if she will let me back in. SO what im doing right now and why have i been off line for so long?

About 5 days ago i ran from my moms, one kast fight did it for me. It was a short verbal fight. i asked "do you want me to leave?" To her after over hearing her talking shit about me once again to her friends. 10-15 min. After that or so, i packed my essentials, and as much clothes as i could, leaveing the place without even a glance or goodbye.

I walked for a while, i left around 8:30 that night i think, and i dont know how long i walked but it was pitch black dark, not counting the street lights. I was planning to lay on the near by train tracks, but with how dark it was i didn't want to be walking around as a 19yo. Girl. So i walked past the tracks, then planning on finding new tracks or back tracking to the ones i knew were they were.

Asi continued to walk, staying near the busy roads for safety, i came across a game store café that was open tell midnight. Walking past it, i started to think, about takeing another shot at recovery, i had nothing more to lose at this point so i said "fuck it" to myself and went in to the place. The owner helped me call the police, ant they took me to the Psych ward at the hospital.

I truly start trying to recover, working with the nurses and doctor best i could, i made some irl friends to be a support system along with my grandma. Still though, the train tracks were my back up. On the second or 3 third day there, my social worker came to me with the bridges program, witch will help me with lots of things, houseing being one of them.

So now, i filled out and mailed the paperwork for the bridges program today with my grandma and sent it off. Now its a waiting game. But i can only stay am with my grandma for so long, so I planned to camp out at the bus stop nearby and come back to charge my phone, use wifi bathe ect. Ect.

So this is whats going on right now, im medicated, hopefully getting Therapy, a assessment on ADHD/autism, and if i qualify for bridges, get a dorm room to be in and plenty of help to get on my feet for once and be independent eventually.

Hey! So if you see my last post(s) I'm doing better now! Far. Far better than I've ever been. So, update:

One, when I got out of the hospital, they set me up with some resources. I've got a Counselor now, and she's already helping me a lot. Right now, she is having me make an appointment with a doctor that will refill my meds every month.
Two, I'm now hopping between my aunt and grandma's every 3 days, walking between the two.
Three, I'm working on getting food stamps! I'll be going to the office for it tomorrow morning and getting that all set up for me.
Four, I'm still waiting on the Bridges program. My Counselor is gonna call them with me to see if we can quicken the pace of that.
Five, got angel bite piercings! I did them myself, and they look good to me, if ever so slightly un-centered. Can't tell if you don't stare at it and look for issues with them.

So far that's all, I'll update when I can!!
💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛

UPDATE!!!

Ok! Been a while and i've been busy as a bee.

So, applied for food stamps, i got a approved email and a denied one, i think i was denied for this month but ill get it next month.

Still waiting on bridges, but me and my Counselor got in contact with them and hopefully it will go faster now with getting me in the program.

My piercings are healing well, and look good! Next ones will be 3 studs on my ears like Dio Brando from J.J.B.A

My eyes seemto be going bad fast so the next thing after my next mental appointment Is a eye doctor appointment. 99% sure ill need glasses and ill be getting wire frame circle ones like harry potter 😌.

I'm also working on a comic, and I'm gonna get a pen for my tablet soon, so I can take my sketches and finish them digitally. On top of that i got a box i'll be decorating and upgrading to be my new art chest, and I took up knitting and have a few more needles and tools for knitting thanks to my grandma. (I love how she supports my interest so much 💜💛💜💛)

So far that's all for updates. I'll update again when new things happen!

UPDATE!!!

ok, so first off, my relationship with my mother has never been very Good, but we are back to stable! As always it's on life support, but we're on good talking terms now.

Second thing, she is gonna keep Gemini for as long as she can before the shelter! She's struggling with food for him, but i told her to make plain rice and eggs, and if he didn't eat that mix in any kind of cheese, but not too much. I'll be going to see him when I need to and visit my siblings as well.

Third, i just started to try and find a job, im in no real rush, but im putting the effort to do it, im just takeing my time now so i dont fuck it up for a 4th time.

Fourth and last for this update, I haven't Heard from bridges , but I did miss a phone call from my counselor, and I imagine she'll be calling me tomorrow morning or maybe around noon with an update for me and such.

As always ill keep you all updated as things happen! Love you all 💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜

P.s. heres a short video of my baby when i seen him after so long💛💜💛💜💛💜💛

five, I'm looking for a romantic partner! slowly that is, i don't want to move fast with it again and hopefully make a strong relationship with someone.

I'm very happy to hear about that. Living in a homeless shelter was a trip for me. Whatever housing u get, keep ur head up high and ignore the negative energy. I hope to recover soon as well since I'm getting my medication tomorrow
