Homelessness and my issue with possibly becoming another statistic

Hey everybody, I hope your holidays went rather smoothly. Mine were really fantastic I went to North Vancouver and Abbotsford to see and visit with several of my family. My girlfriend, Ocean, came with me and met all my father's relatives. I haven't seen them all together like that except for weddings and funerals, for at least 7 years.

Here is some new news with me: I am possibly about to be homeless... It wasn't the first thing on my 2017 wish list not necessarily my last either. I know I would be silly to say that it would be the worst thing in the world to happen to me but that would be yet another delusional over exaggeration to add to my ever expanding list.

The reasoning behind this is my mental health issues (diagnosed borderline personality disorder) and the inability to find a job suitable for my disabilities and employment track record. I have had over 20 employers in my short 6 year working history due to bad decisions on my part and fleeing the scene of several workplaces when I don't find myself totally blissful at said job. So, due to all that, I am on social assistance in B.C, CA and in total i rake in $605/month.

I'm not trying to complain that my Social Assistance isn't enough. I am very grateful, beyond belief for the compensation I do get but I'm terrified of ending up on the street.

Anyways... Hope all is well with all you readers! Continue to fight on and end the stigma with depression, BPD, anxiety, etc... All mental health issues are important issues and all of you are important people, at least to me.

All I ask for is to send love and/or prayers my way.

Lots of love,

Mitch.
