I'm 23, I recently lost my job.. My credit score sucks and I have lots of tickets I can't pay right now not to mention an eviction I'm about to get. Also just got out the military and not going to school. My life is so not straight right now. I've been with my boyfriend for a few months and I just recently found out i was pregnant. I'm a month 1/2 along. He doesn't understand what im going through and is constantly mean to me. I haven't been perfect my hormones are all over the place but he doesn't understand. I feel so alone in this. I can't complain or say anything at all to him because he turns it around on me. I need him. I don't have anyone else and I know I can't make it on my own but I'm suffering crying every night because he's so cold with me. I feel like I don't have the strength to stay but I can't leave either. I'll be homeless and alone and I wouldn't be able to take it.I wish I could just go to sleep and never wake up. My whole life has been a complete mess and every time I try to get back up the world knocks me back down. I just don't feel like I have the strength anymore.

Today I filed an application online for three things from the State of New Jersey. I surprised myself! I wasn't expecting to do it but one thing led to another and I did it. I've been putting it off.

Most people will take you in, even if only for a month, to give you time to figure out how you are going to handle this situation.
You need to get away from boyfriend right now because either he's power tripping because you're at his mercy (in which case run and don't turn back) or you're triggering him somehow, fighting pointlessly or arguing (hormones can make us a bit difficult) and need to get enough space to stop the escalation and wind it back down.
I think a lot of us messed our lives up in our early 20s and most all of us have manged to turn that around. You can turn that around too, by sitting yourself down somewhere and asking some hard questions about where you are going and how you are going to get there.
xx all the best.
