Salutations,
My Name is Solace (well at least on here) I am a Parent that loves god, and my wonderful daughter, Mo. She is 17, and currently undergoing the change in her body called Motherhood. She will be having a baby in late May. I never thought, I'd be a grandmother so early, but I embrace it, and support her. I suffer from agoraphobia.
Agoraphobia: Panic disorder with agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder in which there are repeated attacks of intense fear and anxiety, and a fear of being in places where escape might be difficult, or where help might not be available. Agoraphobia usually involves fear of crowds, bridges, or of being outside alone.
I don't often leave my home, but when I have to I pray allot, and tend to wear sunglasses. Even at night. I know rather quirky. I depend on the Internet, to build friendships, and well GOD blesses me with being available anywhere. My employment situation was grand, I was a live in Caregiver. I also did Virtual assisting on the side. I had been with the Lady I cared for about 5 years.
Sadly this position ended when my daughter, started to show the change in her body. The Lady there-for, terminated my Job Position. So that also ment, moving out. So lets see, 30 Day notice, and a termination letter. It wasn't so bad, because my daughter then told me her great news to my face, and quit hiding it. I was happy about that. I also new that I had to take life one day at a time.
I applied most everywhere for housing, and assistance. I couldn't do my VA work anymore, because I had no stable Internet. So Social Services, it is. I am currently looking for a STABLE place to sleep, and one I can take a deep breath, and not clench my eyes. I have been bunking with a friend, but that ends in a few days.
I never posted my story, till I knew I needed to give up my pride and do so. God provides, and if that means asking for help here, then so be it. I am not wanting cash, But a ROOM or a Job or such. I just want a reliable bed to sleep in, that I know will be there in a month. Past that, Im pushing past my FEAR and hitting the real world for work. And I am succeeding. I'm looking to find others to network with for, resources or information.
This is my story up to date. So, any advice, hot-line info or such would be great. I just need a floor, to crash on. Something to feel safe about in regard to knowing it will be there next week.
Thanks for listening.
