To add insult to injury, I just got scammed online too because I was so desperate. I had my bank account compromised and my money taken from both my bank and PayPal so at least currently I'm completely broke.

All this because of this fucking predicament I mean. I just can't believe this shit anymore.

What in the fuck? Why? And How? We gave you the keys to progress... inform us?

I'm gonna play Silent Hill 2. I will come back to this later. I need to unwind and get over being sick...

He has access to my bank account and to my information. I have to take care of all this with my bank and anything to do with the PayPal. The fact that he has the information is just bad enough regardless of how much money I have in there.

Who is he and why are you continuing to trust bad people?

Let's just put it this way. I'm really naive and trusting and also very, very stupid. I think I was always like that even before my stroke. Now I really screwed myself.

There's something I really want to say but I don't want to say it. Let's just say that I wish I was never born at this point.

Jesus. If this is a follow up to your post a page back stating the same after you willingly gave a stranger your financial information, all I can do is facepalm.

Those are the kind of scams people run on the elderly who don’t know any better. 😳 Never, ever, give out your bank account information unless it’s something using secure encryption (like online bill pay). I wouldn’t even give my best friend of 32 years my bank account information. It’s just too much of a risk.

Not trying to sound harsh but if you’ve reached these points you need to get offline and get in touch with a crisis hotline. Reading your follow up posts here feels like reading a journal of someone spiraling toward needing inpatient mental health care before it’s too late.

I know your family is far away but when you finally get things together I really think you need to find a way back to them because it’s clear you need some kind of support structure around you that you just don’t have there.

I'm seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist and I actually completely agree with you that I need inpatient mental health care. In fact I want it. I don't think I can take care of myself at this point.

This is another thing you are correct about. I do need and want some kind of loving support structure around me.

During my nervous breakdown today, I was begging for my mother and father to be alive again. I don't want to be alone. My roommate who I would like to consider my friend is so stern and emotionless. At one point it seemed like she really cared about me but I guess after a while she became, I don't know what the proper word is but I think it's apathetic. I think part of that is due to her talking to her best friend and getting advice from her.

In fact the first four months or so with my roommate was excellent. She was the best roommate I ever had but things have changed. She just really doesn't seem to care anymore and I think part of it is because she just wants away from me (which is understandable), away from this dismal place I'm in and to move to San Francisco. That's where she wants to go right away. She's planning to move there either next month or the month after that. I guess that's really no surprise considering her lifestyle, not that I'm criticizing that.

I do want to say I admit I'm a wreck. I am not easy to live with. Far from it. That's why it's not a good idea for me to have a roommate to begin with but everybody says I need a roommate to survive. Personally I'd rather get section 8 housing or something like that or the impatient mental health care.

I also just wanted to add that you are not being harsh at all. You're actually pretty spot on.

Sounds like your roommate is just using you to get what they want. You just need a different roommate. Why not rent out more rooms if you have them? Also Don’t be dependent on the roommate for happiness but get some help to cope with that if it’s available and affordable Maybe join some clubs etc to get out more. Make friends that way get out the house for a few hours etc can be good.

Out of interest has the roommate bought you anything cooked you anything taken care of you in anyway?

Folks, I really don't know what to do right now. At this very moment I'm crying and I'm worried and I don't know what to do and I'm just scared. I can't even relax. It feels like I lost everything from my friends to my money to everything I have.

The only thing I was able to take care of at this point was my PayPal. But it's completely empty now along with my regular bank account until I can take care of that hopefully tomorrow morning when they open.

I feel completely trapped. I tried walking around the block to try to get my head together. I'm pacing in and out of my room. I'm petting my dogs. I still feel completely lost right now and I don't know what to do. I'm really lost right now I don't know what to do. I don't know even who to talk to at this point.

Where I'm at it's 12:30 a.m. in the morning so there's nobody I can call or talk to. I tried calling my cousin at around 9:00 p.m. and she was asleep. I really don't have any friends and a lot of them live out of state and have changed their telephone number I tried getting a hold of a few of them without any luck.

If you can try and calm yourself in the present moment. Try using meditation techniques like below:



If focusing on your breath calms you down check out the free Medito app on smartphones. I've found some use on meditation when my feelings are spiraling out of control.

I'm rooting for you man.

Freeze your credit via the big three. Experian, Equifax, Transunion. Now you're stating you had a stroke? 🧐
 
You mentioned you wanted the new zelda.

Sell your switch and use that money to rent a room. Idk about your city but in my city you can rent rooms in someone else's house. Most of the time they let you use the fridge and wifi.

I've seen rooms go for $400 a month or less all over Facebook marketplace. I recently stayed in someones house in a room. It was really nice. They let us use the bed and we had a lock on our door.

Just food for thought. Better than being on the streets.

The longer this thread goes on, the less I'm believing. Sorry if that's harsh.

It seems like everytime someone offers advise, you've explored that and it's a no go. Whether it's family and friends living miles away & changing their phone numbers for some reason or spending money on the Internet, drugs & drink when apparently you barely have anything in the first place and now you've been scammed twice in as many days because you gave your financial info to a stranger.

Maybe this is a cry for help or maybe a cry for attention, at this point I'm starting to wonder. In some ways I hope I'm correct because I wouldn't want anyone to genuinely be in the situation you say you're in.

There's a possibility I'm going to get an ass today especially thanks to some of the advice here, especially RagnarokIV RagnarokIV who has really opened my eyes and made me really think.

Ironically it's her fucking birthday today. If I do get on her ass today, she's going to have one miserable 40th birthday. That's for sure. And if she doesn't have the rent by the 4th, I'm kicking her out.

Did you confront her? Do so already, it's time.

In all seriousness: Put pressure on her. Don't get violent or even loud or anything, just stand your ground, be firm and decisive. You said she has people. Tell her to make some calls and get them to loan her some money. Don't take excuses, it's her obligation to come up with her share of the rent. If she can't do that, kick her out. If she won't leave on her own, take legal action. Depending on the contract either get the police to remove her or at least prep up some written statement addressed to her, of which you then hand out a copy to the landlord and hope for mercy.

And, just on a personal side note: I can understand getting sucked into loneliness and even maybe falling for a tra... transgender woman. But 40 years old? Have some self respect.

But it’s ok for every other guy out there on the internet to see it.

You are so far gone it’s unbelievable. I do have sympathy but when you’re asking for advice on NeoGaf for serious life issues I don’t know what to say. I hope you get sorted and get back to playing video games and chilling.

For people saying that I'm a screw up in this thread, you will get no argument from me.

I 100% agree. I've always been a screw up and I just never seem to learn.

I definitely think there's some good advice here but I'm going to be honest I'm afraid to use it because I hate confrontation. That's the problem with me is that I let people walk all over me. I hate arguing and having confrontation and the consequences that come as a result.

Hell, I've never even really been banned from this place since I've been here in 2008. The main reason for that is because I don't like to insult or confront people. Many times I just let people insult or say things to me and just ignore it. And I don't even mean putting people on my ignore list. I don't even think I have anyone on my ignore list for that matter.

But I will say that most people here are not wrong and I do think there's some very good advice here. I just need to have the balls to take that advice and use it.

And no, I'm not going to lie. I really do like my roommate. Overall she's not a bad person. In fact she was the ideal roommate the first four months or so that she was here but things declined once I said something awkward to her, and no it was not transphobic or anything like that. I'm sure you can guess what I said to her. And yes it was a huge mistake. It seems like I make a lot of mistakes for that matter.

I just feel really lost and I just don't know what to do, it seems. This may be too much information but I had / have a learning disability and I really do think I have a problem taking care of myself. That's why one user who mentioned I probably need inpatient mental health care is probably right. I just can't seem to make any good judgments or decisions.

I really try to help people. I've taken in this old man's dog who just recently passed away from cancer. I've let my roommate do whatever she wants to this place and give her complete freedom. I've helped people with getting food. I've done what I can but I still continue to screw up. And yes it is my fault. I'm not blaming anybody else but myself and I just need to learn how to not make the same mistakes again but I just seem to continue to do so.

I know a lot of people here are criticizing me and that's fine. You have every right to. I guess I just want people to actually like me. And maybe I go too far in that respect.

For what it's worth, I've already spoken to the crisis hotline for about an hour tonight explaining everything I can. I'm seriously having thoughts of committing myself but I'm worried about my dogs and bills that need to be paid as well as something else that happened just very recently that's really bad news for me right now.

Anyways, I can tell you I won't be sleeping tonight. I'm going to be drinking a lot of coffee and trying to think what I'm going to do now.

I do want you to all know I have nothing against any of you here. I know some of you have been harsh but some of you have been harsh and a very good way and actually not that harsh at all and on point. I just need to have the spine to follow some of the advice that has been given here.

Unfortunately, it seems like I am going to need my roommates help with somethings. Especially certain terrible things that just came up that I'm actually going to need her help with. So this might be a bad time to start confronting her. Things I can't do on my own.

It's like a bad kitchen nightmares episode.

The advice you got here... You've had Gordon Ramsay come in and try to sort your restaurant out. Then after filming ends you revert the decor, revert the menu, undo all his changes and hire the old shit abusive chef who pissed about taking all your money for nothing. Then wonder why you go under and bankrupt.

This thread is going nowhere. You are literally my friend who I've tried to sort out for 10+ years.

A fucken gender confused 40 year old pissing about, lazing around. taking drugs and whoring out their cheesy feet online. I'd be fucken ashamed to even know someone like that, let alone live with them.

While there they are doing nothing, contributing nothing and will drop you for nothing when they finally realize you're both fucked with nothing to your name. They should be out immediately and you get someone else in ASAP, but with the place stinking of weed like a doss house, you'll only get someone similar.

You're not stable enough to manage yourself, so the person sharing your home should certainly be stable enough to manage their own fucken self.

Stop simping, get your head out of your arse and liven yourself up for fuck sake. You've most likely already condemned those poor dogs to being euthanized, you should be ashamed. You can have a decent life ahead of you though, but it's only you who can sort this mess out.

They have to go, nothing will change until that happens.

Help yourself before you help others. You're not in a position where you can take on more responsibilities. You're in crisis mode right now and you need to cut all the fat.

Yes and this is advice I'm definitely taking right away. I'm not going to help anyone else at this point. In fact I was just thinking about this. I'm in no position to help others. I need to help myself at this point. If there's one advice I'm going to take right away, it's this. Helping others is over as of now. I only have myself to be concerned about.

The Costanza plan is your only option at this point

Take your gut instincts and aggressively and passionately do the opposite.

All your choices are wrong, time to harness power this for good.

For example, if you think taking food from your dogs mouth to buy a 40 year old unemployed deadbeat trans a bday present is a good ideas, do the opposite…..
 

Darkmakaimura

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Yes x100. So many people in crisis attempt to help others as a way to distract themselves from the fact that they are the ones who need help the most and are drowning.

Darkmakaimura Darkmakaimura Put on your own oxygen mask first before helping others. You're in no position to help anyone if you're unconscious.

Absolutely correct and as I replied above, this begins immediately. I'm helping nobody at this point except myself.
 

Darkmakaimura

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Another thing I should mention is that I need a really good professional psychoanalysis. I really want to find out what the hell is wrong with me. I'm sure I'm at least mildly retarded. I mean that in the literal sense.

I don't know if it's fetal alcohol syndrome or if I was dropped on my head as a kid or bad genetics or whatever it may be, but I do know I was diagnosed with a learning disability. But I think it goes beyond that because I just am way too dumb.
 

Mr Reasonable

Completely Unreasonable
I am sorry this is happening to you. I can't hope to really understand but from the outside, can I suggest that you break things into smaller pieces and work on one thing at a time, or at least start progress and move to the next thing while you wait for a reply. Anything that will require someone else to do something after an an email or phone call is the first thing to get out of the way - you can start progressing and then move to your next task.

First of all, have a look here for how you can get some help with your dogs.


I don't know what's going on with your room mate, but I struggle with the idea that you've both been reduced to zero money in your accounts, they ought to be able to kick in for a few days of dog food. If not, one or the other of you must have a friend who would, even if they held you in very low regard, be prepared to buy a week's worth of dog food.

Next:
Make a fresh enquiry about your disability payments. Explain that your situation has got dramatically worse and that you're facing homelessness. Ask how long it will be until payments begin and ask if there's an emergency fund. Try to get hold of a contact you can go to direct repeatedly.

Work out a plan that ends with you being self sustaining and work out the time it will take, so that if someone is able to step in and help you have a sequence of events and a timescale to work to. Saying "I need to get through the next 2 weeks" or "I've got some work starting tomorrow, and will get paid in 4 weeks time" sounds a hell of a lot better than "I need help until some money appears, but who knows how long that'll be."

Contact any charities who help people with the same condition as you and explain - in a way that doesn't make you sound negligent - that you're in a difficult position.
Speak to your employer, you say that "work has been really bad", I know, but explain you're in trouble and need the work if you can get it.

Have you spoken to your landlord? Do so.

Do whatever you can to avoid homelessness. It will be very difficult to get out of that situation. Speak to any and all family members, even distant ones and ask if it's possible that you could stay with them in the event of the worst happening. Talk to housing charities and explain your situation.

If any of those things are impossible, work out things that are possible.

Treat things like you're in an absolute disaster situation now. Until you've got enough money to sustain food, water and housing for your dogs and yourself for 2 months, you can't do anything but focus on getting into that position.
Talking about needing a good psychoanalyst practically in the same breath as saying that you're thinking of starving your pets to death will exhaust most people's sympathy.

The longer this thread goes on, the less I'm believing. Sorry if that's harsh.

I’m starting to believe the same. Lots of solid advice in here but every one is met with resistance, severe self-deprecation, or excuses.

The longer the thread goes the more it reads like a soap opera with fantastical plot twists that stretch the limits of belief. I hate that I’m that cynical but it’s now 3 days since the original post and 5 days since finding out rent was FUBAR, and, despite pages of suggestions, he’s still made no tangible progress - just repeating the same problems and apparently creating new ones.

And after all this, after a deadbeat roommate that is doing porn in their house, won’t pay rent, gets pissy about him sleeping on the couch, sits around smoking weed, popping pills, and downing booze… he’s still simping.

And no, I'm not going to lie. I really do like my roommate. Overall she's not a bad person.

I think I’m done. As the saying goes: You can lead a horse to water but can’t make him drink.
 
I'll be crass. Check yourself into a local hospital for suicidal thoughts. Tell the doctors about your drug and alcohol dependence. BEG them to get you into a drug/alcohol program. There are programs out there for you.

As far as your doggos go; they're probably done. They're far more likely to get the needle than getting adopted. Take care of yourself first. I had to have this talk with my brother like 6 months ago.

Also check out if your town has any food banks and just go. You'll find some things in there. Me and my wife make occassional food donations to our local food bank.

Your dogs can also eat whatever you're eating temporarily, just because you don't have kibble doesn't mean they should starve. My dog doesn't eat kibble but I'm assuming yours do.

It seems like you need to take my advice up above. Your life is at a crossroads. Sober Living(the program) is a good program for those who adhere to it. They'll give you a roof over your head and help you with your disability claim.

I'm currently trying to get some shit together today including help with the rent and everything. I'm also going to speak with my psychiatrist and possibly see if I can reschedule with my therapist to see her sooner.

Edit: and thankfully my psychiatrist appointment is today. I just had to call to find out.

So, the day after my birthday (September 29th) I'm finding out that my roomie may not have the money to cover rent.

Neither of our friends or family can help us out and we're already selling stuff on OfferUp and Craigslist with no hits.

My roommate does have an upper hand though since she has a very good friend or two who will let her stay with them. Meanwhile, I'll be on the street. No friends or family can help me either especially since they're all on the other side of the country.

Work has been really bad and my social security disability is taking forever.

Any advice would be appreciated. I really do not want to end up in a shelter.

Im barely covering rent myself. I'd say hustle and stay off the internet where you'll he told your homeless because you deserve it or some nonsense. Its hard out there for most people without a trust fund or parents to provide landfall.

Keep your head up; find a way.

If that means you gotta remove someone that's taking away from it you gotta do what you gotta do. But weigh whats more important; the relationship or this living abode first

Four pages in and I don't think any one in this thread has said he deserves to be homeless. But he certainly isn't making himself more sympathetic with his follow up posts chock full of excuses and repeating the same complaints without taking anyone's advice to make progress. I do agree with the "get off the internet" part because, outside of job hunting, constantly coming here (or anywhere else) to post is wasting valuable time and precious resources. Instead of typing long responses here, he should be hunting down local financial help resources.

You know what makes it even harder out there?
Irresponsibly spending what limited money one has on drugs, booze, and simp gifts for the roommate.

I dont think he needs to justify how much sympathy he's deseved. He's in a bad situation, so he gets a measure of sympathy from me and that's what I offered him. All of the "advice" in the world ultimately doesn't pay bills, and no one here is going to foot it for him, so its just that. Advice, from strangers who may or may not know what they're talking about but definitely can't solve his problem. Money does that. That's precisely why I said what I said

You know what makes it even harder out there?
Irresponsibly spending what limited money one has on drugs, booze, and simp gifts for the roommate.

I agree, but that doesn't mean he doesn't get a measure of sympathy for me, and also from me, a practical to go where there's money; not words.

Pretty well said although there is definitely some good advice here as well. I just need to follow it and my problem is I have issues when it comes to standing up for myself. That's why I'm so hesitant to confront her and take other considerations as well. But I need to.

One thing is absolutely for sure that I am doing immediately is no longer helping anyone else out except myself. Helping people out has costed me money and some of those people have stepped all over me and quite frankly the more I think about it, the more it pisses me off.

But I'm not ignoring what people are saying here. I'm just being hesitant even though I shouldn't be. Currently, I'm trying to see if one of my cousins can help me out at least somewhat with the rent. The rent is due by the 5th and after that it's $5 extra a day until the end of the month where they start the eviction process.

Another thing I should mention is that I need a really good professional psychoanalysis. I really want to find out what the hell is wrong with me. I'm sure I'm at least mildly retarded. I mean that in the literal sense.

I don't know if it's fetal alcohol syndrome or if I was dropped on my head as a kid or bad genetics or whatever it may be, but I do know I was diagnosed with a learning disability. But I think it goes beyond that because I just am way too dumb.
Sorry but this just sounds like an excuse.
What’s wrong with you is that you’re too critical of yourself and you’re hanging out with the worst people imaginable.

Instead of ACTUALLY working on yourself you’re putting up these barriers as excuses for why you can’t do anything to help yourself.

Maybe you haven’t hit rock bottom yet to turn your life around and actually give a damn, but I hope it happens soon.

The only person that can help you is YOU!
