conversation: User (jrismith): "Im gonna skip alot in this story and just stay with as much relevant info that is needed.\n\n2 weeks ago i had to take a leave from my job as a sales associate because of overwhelming depression and stress from events happening at home but me being home for those two weeks to work on bettering myself only made things at home worse. Now I am currently in a hotel until tomorrow morning then all i have is my car my self and some clothes books and an old ps3. I left quite a few things behind because i was rushing, was terrified and heartbroken as i was packing to get away.\n\nI have family on the opposite side of the US from me that say I can live with them for a *short time* bc of my situation. The thing is this is the same family that kicked me out because i told them i needed to quit a job in order to better my grades in college. Also I am currently employed here and I dont know if I will be able to get a job anywhere else bc police were involved a ton in the incidents that put me in this position. Idk what to do. How should I go about getting myself shelter, food, a job (or keeping my current one) and keeping a good hygiene?  Any advice can help I am currently in DC.\n\n\nEdit: trying to reply to everyone but things are happening so its hard to keep up, i am reading every single comment, just cant reply to them all now. i appreciate every comment, prayer, and all the support thank you all"
