My life is a complete disaster.. I will be homeless next week ... Nobody understand how I feel. My boyfriend doesn't understand and is mean to me. I have no job bad credit and I have tickets. Not to mention my car is mest up. I feel like I'm all alone.. Everything I've done in my life I have failed at. I'm so angry and emotional for him not understanding me I have to the conclusion I'm depressed. I think about killing myself more often so the pain could go away. How am I supposed to be a good mother when I have nothing to give my baby ? I'm in a lot of physical pain as it is and I feel like I have no support from anyone. I just want to die

Hi Diana. Since you're about to be homeless, are you looking for a place to stay? Do you have any family or friends that will take you in? Have you called any women's shelters to try and secure a place so you and your baby will be safe? You can call 211 and they will help you find available resources in your area. Nobody can understand exactly what you're going through but lots of people have gone through similar situations. I was a stay at home mom when my husband left me with no car and children to take care of. I had no one to help me. I became homeless and had to live in a shelter for a few months. They helped me to find a job, a car, childcare, and a place of my own. That was over 20 years ago but I'm very thankful they were there to help.

You can't just give up and not fight. If you do, there's no telling what might happen. Your child needs you to do what's best for you so they will be safe also. I understand loneliness and love, and feeling helpless and hopeless, but you do have options. Please do what's best for your baby. It's not easy but it can be done.

I bet you might be eligible for housing help since you are pregnant. Also, have you been diagnosed with depression? If so, you have a disability, and in the US, you can get some social services help.

I would suggest calling 211 or a crisis or housing help line, or maybe asking for help at a church or food pantry.

I wish you the best.
