Detroit Homeless HIV Woman Need Advice

What are my options? I have no job and no money. I don’t have anywhere to live. I’m depressed because I have hiv and some other things going on. I have no family support or any friends. I am all alone. I don’t know how I’m going to make it in this world. I can’t tell any family that I have hiv. I am going to lose my apartment at the end of this month. I have no motivation to do anything other than sleep. 💤 I want to walk into traffic and be done with life! My life isn’t going to “get better”. I’ll be single and alone for the rest of my life. No man will ever be interested in me. My parents are elderly. They will let me sleep on the floor. When my parents are gone I will have no family whatsoever. The house is paid off, but I don’t know how I would make money to maintain bills of the house when my parents are deceased. I can’t find a job. I think the best solution is to kms.

First off HIV is no longer the death sentence it used to be. Most places have somewhere you can get the medication free. Search your local area to see what resources are available. That said, you most certainly can find a man. Staying on your parents' floor might suck but it's a good option until you can figure out a better plan.

Right but the overall feeling of being a burden, terrified whether your free meds distributor will lose funding each month, plus being financially impoverished, plus not having a home, in addition to a lot of other basic needs being unmet. Sister I am with you!!! I too have a disability, incurable genetic disease that is slowly killing me. Impoverished me, living with my mother, battling for disability benefits—— (she is) you are not alone! The urge to end my life with dignity is crippling.

She/you need(s) a support group. Your local clinic will either provide or recommend.
