Honestly I don’t know how you do it mentally, you sound so understanding and unfazed! I would be too worried about violence. Meth paranoia and aggression is frightening to witness. I would nope out of there as soon as I could.
I’ve been homeless myself. That’s sort of why.
The home I have now is precious to me, and I wouldn’t leave it lightly - I’m disabled, and I have some accessibility needs that this apartment is perfect for - unless I was absolutely certain of having somewhere else I could go that met those needs too.
A lot of the time I really like it here. It’s just…occasionally really feral because people suck.
Apologies, my comment seems so insensitive now. Glad to hear you’re ok now.
