I am officially doomed.

I can't find a job.
I have no income.
I have no money left in my bank account.
I have nothing...

Ever since I got out of the mental hospital, things have gone down hill. I lose my job the day I got out of the hospital. My roommates abandoned me, and are making me fully responcible for the bills and rent. I have no money left in my bank due to the bills and rent. I am in serious debt... I can't seem to find a way out. I can't seem to find a roommate. Finding a job is hopeless. And I now have no way to get around. I don't know where to go, what to do. I am trapped... I am doomed... I need help...

Um, firstly, get rid of your internet, cause that's one less thing to pay for then. Also, um, surely you are qualified for SOME job... no matter what it is, if it pays minimum wage or more, take it. And move to a cheaper place. And um, get rid of all the stuff you don't need (like the internet, as I said before). That's all I can say.

I did get rid of everything... I sold everything I own that is of any value. As for the internet... I won't have it next month most likely unless I'm saved by a miracle...

I'm in the cheapest place in town. And I have looked for a job for 2 months now... I'm always rejected due to what they think is fraud (my ID and SSN don't match). The worst part is that I CAN'T fight it and I have no money to fix it (which takes 4 months in CA).

Apply for some kind of aid...I don't really know what's out there, but surely there is something...

Just go down the phone book and apply to every single place there. What about moving in with family or relatives? Or maby you could find people where there are already a few room mates and see if they want an extra person.

I hope you find something...

I would try to call a family member and hopfully they can take you in for a while.

Or what about a shelter? Had a friend in high school who stayed in a shelter for a while until she got things back together again.

*hugs* Main thing here is, don't give up. You're a wonderful person and you can get through this. Everyone has those shitty times in life. Just some have it worse off than others.

Take care and hope for the best.

Yea, Anya's right. (Ah, good, once again.) You just need to hang in there, EVERYONE goes through crap in their lifetime...

It's like I always say- if your life doesn't have ups and downs (like a heartbeat) then you're a flatline. (Which means you're DEAD.)

Things WILL get better sooner or later, I PROMISE you.

Just DON'T do anything stupid, OK? By stupid, I mean cutting your arms, or making yourself throw up, or suicide, or anything like that. OK? DO NOT DO THAT!!!

Hurting yourself like that is about the worst thing you could do, especially now.

Where's your friends? Your family? You have to have SOMEONE who can help you...

Godspeed, then.

Actually I did do all 3 of those stupid things you listed...

I tried to cut my arms but that didn't do shit so I tried to commit suicide by ODing on anti-depressants... that didn't work... instead it made me really sick and throw up a few times.

As for friends and family... well... my family is not going to let me back in their home. My only living family left that lives near here is my dad and well... he has his own problems. I moved out to get AWAY from him. He is a serious alcoholic that would beat me... I don't want to return to a place where I will get abused. My friends are all poor or living with their parents still (usually both). I have asked all my friends around here, even asked my boyfriend. They all said that they can't provide me with a home right now. My boyfriend is trying his best to move out of his parent's house so that he can move in with me, but he needs a lot more time (like a few months). He is broke right now.

Most of the rest of my family don't know that I'm a transsexual and they are VERY prejudice against that. My mom cares but she is in just as bad of a money position as me, and she lives across the country.

I may try a shelter... that seems to be my only option at the moment...

There's a good citizen right there!

I kinda don't have any money, though...'

But I could give you all the emotional support you need!

You've got a lot of people behind you, try not to get SO down.

I'm assuming you live in a city, too...Rough places, they can be. If you're not careful, they'll chew you up and spit you out- except, well, they don't spit you out, they spit you back IN.

*cough*

Transsexual? Is that the same thing as a bisexual?

Geez, people are friggin' idiots these days...

We're all human beings here- as far as I know. If it's not skin color, it's religion, or home country, or musical tastes, or SPORTS TEAMS, for Din's sake, and nowadays its sexual orientation!!!

DAMN, do people piss me off...

If everyone stopped paying attention to what's different, and started lookin' at what's the SAME, they'd realize that all people ARE, in fact, PEOPLE and deserve respect.

As for another thing, I had a bad feeling you already HAD done those things, but seriously, DON'T DO THEM EVER AGAIN!!!

OK?! This is not a joking matter! I'm not here replying to this because 'message forums are fun,' I'm here because I want to help people out, and if you're going to take any of my advice, don't ever do anything like that again!

I hate this...

I go apply for a job today at McDonalds (of ALL places) and this is what I was told. "We don't hire your kind." I feel like I'm some sort of alien. I feel so insulted that I was rejected at McDonalds. When I asked about what my kind is, they specified about my transsexualism. I don't know HOW they read me... but they did.

God I hate my life... I'm treated like I'm a nobody. Everyone that gets any info about me seems to have a problem with me being a transsexual or have a problem with my Social Security... It is just a huge mess. I can't even get government benefits...

Oh and on a side note, a transsexual is a person who feels they were born the wrong sex. It isn't sexual orientation, it is gender identity. I was born a boy and I'm transitioning into a girl.

...?

Ahhhh...So, in other words, people think you're really gay...?

Um...But about them 'reading' you...Were you dressed like a 'girl,' but physically looked like a guy? That creeps people out, but it doesn't really creep me out. It would if you had a raggedy beard with make-up on, but still...I wouldn't degrade you like that...Everyone deserves a chance...

Oh, for Din's sake, people are assholes...>

Well, I'll tell ya this much- I don't care WHO you are, WHAT your 'sexual-ness' is, what your 'race' is, or any of that shit.

I care about you because you're a PERSON, JUST LIKE ME. *sigh* Maybe my words don't mean much to you, everyone else just rejects me because I'm too emotionally open, I guess...

If there's anyone you can lean on for emotional support, it's me, OK? No crap.

I really hope you have SOMEONE in your region that can help you...I wish I could, but...I'm 17, living in the middle of nowhere in New York state...

I really hope you're not like everyone else and see my words for what they ARE, not what ulterior motif might hide under them...Grr...Friggin' asswipe idiots...

OH!! And hey...

Promise yourself you won't EVER do anything stupid like that again...(suicidal-ish things...)

You'll get through eventually. Moving into your parent's home may not sound like such a bad idea after all. Don't even think about suicide, it's not a solution.

You could take action against Macdonalds, that's unfair descrimination. You have a case against them

Just keep looking, and exhaust every option.

My only advice to you would be to find more help elsewhere. There's only so much help you can get here.

I guarantee that a church is a great place to start. Even if you don't agree with everything they say, it's free counseling. It's worth a shot.

I don't look like a guy really. I am VERY feminine now. So how they found out that I was a guy baffles me, I think it was my Adam's apple... People think I'm gay... but considering that I am bisexual too with a boyfriend, I can see where they get their opinion.

http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/traitor_joe/Liz0319041.jpg

But I'm not going to take action at McDonalds to get an $6.75/hr job(minimum wage in this state), I find it to not be worth it. I could get the person fired that said that... but I have better things to do...

I'm VERY anti-religious so getting any job or help from a church would be bad... plus they would want my records... if they found out that I was a transsexual, they would ostracize me...

I tried to promise not to commit suicide again... and I failed everytime... I can't promise you that (besides promising is against my beliefs)...

If I move in with my parents again... then my dad will beat me... and start drinking again. I will do anything to make sure that he doesn't drink ever again... not to mention beat me.

Damn I hate when poeple open up and make me open up. I am still young but no matter what you do or how bad it is don't go suicidal my brother did that and I have a scar when I stopped him. All I can do Is list your choices and the good and bad things about each one.

1. Find help at a church Good you will get help and if they are real christains like my church they wont care that you are Transexual. Bad You hate religion

2.Move in with your dad Good you will get help and maybe stop his alchohal addiction Bad if he gets drunk that is bad unless when he goes out to drink you leave the house till he gets tired then come back

3. Go to a shelter Good well you get help and stuff Bad don't know if there is anything bad

I can only put it in simple terms and I would help you If I could but like I said I am young. I hope you get some luck. Even though you are anti religous I will pray for you.

I can't offer much help really, but just this caught my attention. Look into the Unitarian Universalist church - probably the most open-minded, tolerant "anything goes, whatever works for you is right" type of church there is. I'm not sure what they're like charity-wise but it could be worth a shot?

Promising is against your 'beliefs?' Promising isn't a belief, it's a commitment.

Geez...Well...Let's see...

You don't believe in promises or commitments...

You don't have a family...

You don't seem to have any friends...

You don't have a job...

You don't have a religion...

Hm...Well, I guess I don't have half of those, either...(Job + Religion) But I'm not in your situation, either...

I honestly can't think of much to say that I haven't already.

But seriously, if you can't even make commitments like simple promises, I don't know what you're going to do. If you can't make a promise, it's like saying you can't guarantee you'l;l do your job well every day. Obviously, there IS no guarantee, but if you don't even promise that you'll TRY...

Ah, well.

When people say 'don't commit suicide', that means you shouldn't do it!! Afterall, it's a commitment, isn't it? Which means you can't do it, because it's against your beliefs...*blinkblink*

That worked out kinda odd, didn't it...?

Anyway, just keep looking, things will get better sooner or later. Time never stops.

That's the most insulting thing I've ever heard. Your 'kind'? Who the hell do they think you are? I thought jobs were supoosed to be above prejudice. Grrr.... that's just bullshit. With descrimination like that you could file a lawsuit (not that I'm saying you should, but damn... what assholes).

As for your picture, you look pretty, but you face... *thinks about it*. It's your eyes and your eyebrows. I can guess what you must have looked like before. You kind of look like a steve. And I'm sorry if that's insulting at all x.x. I've actually thought about it before... but I also think I would make an ugly woman, haha.

I don't know what I can do to help you. I'm looking for work myself. That, and I'm all the way on the ast coast. Great lot of good pity will do. Argh, it's frustrating. And I can understand about promises. You can't foretell fate. Circumstances change everything all the time. I don't like to make promises I know I can't keep. Hang in there. Life is a precious thing to waste. Don't know what else I can tell you.
