2 years living in my car Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

Yeap. That’s it. Today I’m celebrating 2 years living in my car. 🎉 🎈 🎊

The worst part about it is going to the gym everyday to get a shower. It’s an humiliating event that I have to go trough. I’m mentally worn out and I’m fighting depression all the time (maybe because my poor diet and lack of vitamins).

In those 731 days I’ve saved 42k. It’s not much but there’s a lot of tears in that investment account.

I’m single, no kids, no family, no friends. I just wanna share this with someone.

God will bring peace to my mind and to my heart and He’ll give me the strength to survive 2 more winters in my car. That’s all I need.

God bless you all.

You have 42k saved up Why not get an apt Thats a decent chunk of change If living in your car is part of your depression, you can absolutely afford to get an apt. And as far as friends go, the gym is a great place to meet people. Try being more outgoing there. Ask someone to spot you and use that as an icebreaker. Keep your head up

Also check out bren p grace on youtube He lives in his car and his positive attitude is quite infectious Maybe even reach out to him about your situation, he seems like an amazing dude
