I created this community, so that we can all help eachother through hard times. I remember seeing some girl in Canada, on the side of the road; with a sign that asked for warm clothing for the winter. It just broke me in two. Social Services can be a cold b!tch sometimes, (and does little more than sit on their @ss sometimes) so we need to turn to ~eachother~, as well. This is a place for support and outreach. A safe place from all the drama in our heads sometimes.
If you are recently out of an abusive relationship;
a teenager or young adult who has left a bad environment;
or if you struggling with an addiction; like self-injury; anorexia/bulimia, or drugs/alcohol.
( clearly, for some/most of these things; professional help is needed + a real life support network; this is by no means a substitute; but it's a friendly reminder that you_r_not_alone...)
or if you just need help adjusting to a new situation; this is the place for you.
If you are a young mother as well, or a struggling college student (and need clothes, gift cards to grocery stores, etc) i will try to help the best that i can. To be all kinds of honest, a lot of this has been inspired by the brave souls who have asked for help on the anonymous Postsecret site, here at LJ~
If you need support through the processes of applying for help from your local DSS
(somewhere to vent till its all over! :p ).
Of course, the whole point is to start a *network* of help. i'm only one person!!! lol. So if you're a good person, and think you can help out; emotional support or otherwise( and of course, if you *need* the help/support), come join!! As someone who has been kicked out of her house plenty of times; due to an abusive mother; i just never want anyone else to feel as alone and hopeless as i did; each and every time.
i'll write more later maybe =)
I guess when you join, you can post an intro...
like...hmm...
