[QUOTE="Need_The_Light, post: 77375848, member: 451417"] As you know, much of Australia has a really messed-up housing market, and right now many folks are facing homelessness. I'm just a dude who's been on a disability pension for most of my adult life for reasons to do with treatment-resistant social phobia and agoraphobia and stuff like that; more recently there's been talk with a doctor that I should be tested for autism since I'm very high in most traits associated with it. Anyway, for the longest time my mum was my legal carer — even got the carer pension and stuff. But on the 8th of July she died of complications of small-cell lung cancer (despite quitting smoking five years ago and being told back then that her lungs were surprisingly healthy), which they could not treat due to her autoimmune issues. And now, as if to make my life even more brutal, I was told ten days ago by the real estate that I have until November 7 to move out of this place I have been in for the past 12 years because the owner wants to move in. So me, who's mostly a kind of "shut-in" with two cats, no car, no telephone, no friends in the area, severe social awkwardness, etc., etc., is expected to know how to find a place to live, or at least find someone to live with as a housmate/flatmate, if necessary. And frankly I feel like I'm up a certain infamous creek without a paddle and I'm very, very afraid and also just really down. Especially because a couple of older family members who have bee talking about helping me are mostly just talking out there bscksides and being a pair of gonna-dos. And that sucks for me because I don't have a clue about what to do at all. Like, I'm probably mentally 12 years old when it comes to this sort of serious life stuff. :rolleyes: I mean, is there anyone here who can help me out? Lots and lots of prayers at the very least would be good but if I could make some actual friendships with people in the area who could help me in the offline world as well, that would be super awesome and much appreciated. Or if anyone knows someone, or knows someone who knows someone.... I'm prepared to put in extra time and effort for people to get to know me and to learn that they can basically trust me and if someone not too far away can help me out I'll even be willing to join their church if they're a member of one and can take me with them. I seriously need mad tons of help. :( Thanks for reading this! Sorry for being annoying. [/QUOTE]
