I feel helpless... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MrCleveland · 07-16-2022, 07:25 AM

This year has been a hard year for me. Mostly it's money issues...I can't get a house or car, expenses are more than expected, for me to get food I have to go to food pantries, none of my friends want me to be their roommate, I might as well live with my brother even though he has NO plumbing and heat, so if I need to use the toilet I have to either buy a portable toilet and **** in the garage or basement and to get clean I'll have to use the sinks at my jobs...I won't be able to shower for awhile...

Life ****ing sucks...there's NO light at the end of the tunnel!

So, this is your 100th woe is me thread, and the answer is the same as the first one.

Get off your ass and make your own life better because no one is going to do it for you.

People don't want to be around someone with your attitude. It's depressing.

Prayers to you Mr. Cleveland . Hoping and praying things get better for you !

Don't let your pride get in the way of seeking help. There are organizations out there that will extend a helping hand, provided you are willing to make a few compromises. And I just have a gut hunch that you know this, and are unwilling to make those specific compromises? Am I right about that?

If so,....then it's up to you to decide which is the greater evil, continuing in your predicament, or making those compromises in order to get their help. None of us can make that decision for you, it's in your lap.

If not,,,,then go out and get some help...you need counseling!! If for nothing else then just to find what all help is available to you. The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation center would be a good place to start.5005 Euclid Ave. or the Cleveland City Mission, 5310 Carnegie Ave or even the Urban League 2930 Prospect Ave., the later might not have a cot for you, but I guarantee you they will have a list of people who do.

There is a ton of help out there, available to people willing to ask for it and work within each program's set of requirements. (you know what I mean)

Insider's tip: I understand that many such programs have a maximum time period for the amount of time they will extend help. For some, it's 6 months, others a year, where they pressure you to either become self sufficient within their time frame, or get cast back onto the streets. There are work-around strategies to overcome these limits. You can always go "on tour" and for example spend 6 moths at the Cleveland Salvation Army, then go to Nashville and check in there for 6 months, then on to Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, LA, etc etc.......I know guys who have done that. Word has it that the Nashville facility is especially nice.

You've said you have autism and other problems, so maybe you qualify for social security benefits.

What happened with your job at the church? Maybe they can give you additional help.

You're the one with the sucky attitude and zero compassion. For your information, Mr. Cleveland does "get off his ass." He is not a slacker. He had or has a job with the church for a very long time. So stuff it.

People (including me) have said to him over and over: Do something. Get help. Go to a psychologist or social worker. It will probably be very low cost or free.

Whining on this board over and over gets you nothing. What's changed since the last time he did this? Zero. He has to make the first move.

Even though I'm not religious, the saying is true. God helps those who help themselves. Don't give him sympathy. That's not what he needs.

Cleveland, so so many are having horrible issues and no one here knows your history and what you have been thru. Many are suffering so terribly and trying to feed their children and a bunch living in one bedroom room apartments. I hear plenty out there.

I have my opinions on all that has taken place and still going on.

Many are alone and struggling and many have a lot in t heir family and struggling.

Seek Social Services, I'm having a tough time and I've living many many years just fine, but the world has changed and now I'm seeking social help from agencies.

Right now I'm going thru hoops to get an internet discount from a govt program ACPBenefit.org It's taking me a lot of time to just get thru to this very BUSY agency...millions must be asking for help with their net service.

If you have health issues that does not help .... don't end up on the street.

I've had it up to here with you as well...so don't even read my ****ing posts if you're going to be a ****ing ******* about it!

Babalu is a meanie. Try not to let him raise your blood pressure. He's not worth it.

Already blocked that *******...I have some reason to bitch...I do try to seek help, I do try to better myself, I do try to ask others...but I just get kicked to the curb!

I'll be talking to my pastor tomorrow since I will be working at my church. I have many part-time jobs and it's hell because everything got too damn expensive...I may even downgrade my phone because of it.

No one understands a working-class person like me...and living in one of the most impoverished or impoverished large cities in America!

Babalu...why don't you walk in my shoes for once? You'll be bitching about anything and everything once you wear them!

But the way you said it was very mean...... He needs compassion and love,not hatefulness which might push him further down

There are a lot of flippant responders around here including Babalu. Not many think to "walk in other's shoes"....
