With all this occurring, l am so struck by on going housing issues.

We were evicted more than a year ago and in a tiny cramped room by council.

All my efforts of finding a guarantor gone to waste due to family issues.

My benefits stopped last October.

My lawyer asked the social services to intervene and give me a key worker to help and do a care assessment.

They did not help either.

Now in shocked distress as bailiffs took away my belongings from storage.

I don't know how to handle everything anymore. Can't sleep despite being on medication.

Stress is running me down.

I am feeling suffocated and obviously this news has destroyed me.

All my university stuff.

Like I don't know who to turn to.

Sorry for moaning but I have no support in this borough.

I want a place away from here but without money and my belongings gone, I don't know who to turn to.

Wrote to shelter.

Even pipe has burst but management r do nothing.

So its so much to handle and I haven't slept, just trying to do so much emails to people. Am really worried.

Hi Cookie73

This isn't a moan. It's a reaction to an absolutely awful situation, and one that's made worse by the current emergency.

I do think you need some specialist help with this. Instead of having written to Shelter, I think you should try to get through on the phone to their helpline. I don't think it will be the easiest thing to get through, because it's a very oversubscribed organisation at the moment, but I think you should try. I'd say stop emailing anyone who hasn't told you to communicate that way. You don't know if they are being actioned. You need to use your telephone and speak to someone directly.

That would be one positive step and you need to feel that you are trying to start to resolve your situation in order to feel less stressed.

This is clearly rock bottom for you with your possessions possibly all gone. It sounds as if you also need the urgent help of your key worker too, or if you no longer have one, please restart the process.

I don't know how strong you need to be to get through such a bad situation. All I know is that somehow, against all the odds, people do do it, and eventually come out on the other side.

I'd just urge you to try to stay as strong as you can, even with this latest bad news, and keep fighting back. 🙏
