understanding

[robin_she-they]

i don't understand what is except able or not anymore, I've been n so many foster homes/shelter it is so hard to be "perfect" and it dose not help with my depression,PTSD or anxiety not to mention im also in the lgbtqia+ community. What should I do, please help me.

I don’t know what to say. It has to be tough living in foster care homes. In high school I had a friend who was in one. I think she was jealous of me because I had parents, even though I wasn’t getting along with them very well. We all have our own trials and tribulations.

Hi. what is the struggle you are having regarding what is and isn’t acceptable? Do you mean the way people treat you? 💕

[robin_she-they in reply to Innovative]

yeah and also how to act around people, like I feel like a alien most days

Hi, You are perfect just the way you are. I'm sorry you are struggling. Keep coming here and seeking out other sources of support. I totally get the feeling I've not knowing how to act, but being yourself is the best way to go. That way you will find the people who get you and accept you. Sometimes it takes a long time, I can't tell you how long, but as long as you're trying that's all that matters. Big hugs!

but that is me? do you get what im saying?, thank you!

I hope you are doing ok. You might see if you can find a therapist to talk to and get some support, maybe check with people in your lgbtqia+ community for help and referrals.

Another thing is that I wish someone had told me years ago is that life is an inside job and not an outside one. The more you can do for yourself on strengthening your sense and beliefs of self-worth and self-esteem the stronger and more emotionally resilient you will be regardless of your circumstances. There is a lot of good info on this on youtube available. My best to you and let us know how you are doing.

Hi Robin, my daughter is a social worker and she worked for the state about 5 years. She had many kids who got moved around a lot. My family life was pretty awful, but even so, I had a place to go. Does your social worker talk with you? I know that system has a bad reputation, but there are some who care. Do you have enough food and clothing? I will keep you in my thoughts. Keep on keeping on.

she sometimes talk to me but she dosent really care, i think in her mind as long as i have a bed im good, we barly have food over here like there are no snacks, and we have nothing heathy all of it is like frozen dinners
