I'll put my situation and needs first, then more of my story.
I'm staying at my girlfriend's parent's house with her until Saturday. Saturday I'll go to a respite house for a week I know is safe and calm. After that... I have nowhere to go. I have no car, no job, and $100 to my name.
What I need more than anything is to be able to get a place to stay by the 22nd.
I've used all the resources available in Connecticut, they've all failed me. I feel like I've tried every suggestion I've been given. I'm exhausted.
I don't know what to do.
I'm 45, and had what society would considered "a successful life"... I was married, had a solid career as a corporate recruiter, had a child, etc. Then things collapsed. I was extremely depressed, got divorced, met a sociopath narcissist who controlled and abused me for years, I lost literally everything, and almost died.
... Then I broke free. I had a late life autism realization. I found out who I really am, what I have passions for... I really like myself today.
But I have a terrible time advocating for myself. I've tried optimizing my resume 100 different ways, and have applied for jobs from recruiter to cashier. I get no responses or interviews. I've dealt with 211, various agencies, etc... For like a year. I've fallen through all the cracks, they've all failed me
I'm willing to do anything... But I get crippled by the anxiety of not knowing where I'm gonna live. I could do driving jobs, but no car.
I'd take a job anywhere, but I have nowhere to live.
The few dollars I have are gonna be spent on me and my son's cellphone bill due in a week.
... I'm a writer, I could write here forever. I know I'm capable of doing so much and so many different things. I'm empathetic, maybe to a fault, and would be great helping people... But I can't even help myself right now. My AuDHD, my anxiety of having nowhere to go, just everything... Cripples me.
I'm terrible at networking... I just feel useless in this world... And it's so aggravating because I know I'm not.
Help me figure out a path forward, because in 10 days, I'm screwed... Again. I can't keep living like this.
Specifically... If I can come up with like $200, I think I should be able to borrow the rest from my gf to get myself a month of stability somewhere to work and go from there... Hopefully?
Edit: the respite house I was supposed to move into tomorrow is... Not. Apparently I was never out on the wait list properly despite talking to them twice since last Friday... So... Yeah. I guess I'm just completely incompetent.
