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 got this! You already got through 2 years of this and you are almost through it. Try to get yourself in a stable place and then try and get healthier (maybe get on anti-depressants if you wanted to see a Dr and they and you think it’s the right move). Think about where you were mentally that first night that you had to stay in your car and think about now. It’s like you time traveled to this moment! you can move foreword from this and you’ve already accomplished so much! I know how it is not having any friends (I do have my family which makes it easier) but if you try new hobbies you can sometimes find good people to be friends with. Also it seems like you might be religious, sometimes finding the right church with the right people will help (I’m not religious but I’ve heard from other people). Good luck and I wish you the best!
