advice about what to do about my living situation
My name is Alicia. I'm currently homeless/on the street. I wound up in Jackson, Mississippi which is a very small town.
I have health problems that prevent me from doing much of anything. I'm on Disability, and I'm expecting to get my check on the 3rd of the month in about 1 week.
What I'm having a hard time with is that I'm trying to decide what to do with the money I'm getting. I would like to leave here - I'm originally from California and don't really like it here or belong here.
But that's the hard part. Because of my health, I'm really not well enough to go anywhere and I can't seem to think about anything just yet. I have PTSD - where I have flashbacks of everything.
It seems like when I try to think of what to do when I get paid - all I do is put it down and say well I can't do that because of this, etc. I seem to ruin every positive thought I try to have. I can't seem to take a step forward because of these flashbacks I have.
The problem is I'm on the street here and want to move forward with my life and I'm getting really impatient with that happening.
Just to cut it in the quick ahead of time, no I don't take medication and please don't tell me to get help - I've tried and nothing helps me.
Is there any advice you can give me about what I should do? Should I stay here for a while until I feel bettter or should I leave when I get my check? Can you tell me anything positive that might lift me up? Please don't tell me about shelters - please.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you.

I would like to know more about what is causing your PTSD so I can offer better advice. For example are you ex. Military. If so I think I can understand your comment on having tried getting help for it. PTSD is treatable, unfortunately the military and the VA are underfunded and treatment is varies from facility to facility.
