I’m so sorry that you had to go through that.

Not to hijack your beautiful and touching article, I want to mention mental health and homelessness. Often mental health problems lead to homelessness and vice versa. In fact, it can be a vicious cycle.

If all the homeless people were tested against what we consider baseline, functional mental health, the results would be shocking.

Take care of yourself and keep writing. Everyone needs to hear this pain from the people who’ve experienced it.
