18 und ab heute obdachlos, was sollten meine nächste Schritte sein?

Hello,

I am very concerned with your text, since I was only recently in a very similar situation. I would therefore like to show you some possibilities:

• Get in touch with the youth office. Whether this is still decent depends probably on whether it had to intervene in the past.
• There are shelters. I can well understand if you don’t want to make use of these, because the cliché “Obdachloser” is not my favorite client, with which I would sleep in a room.
• If you have to spend nights outside, find a place where no other person is or will come. This can be a forest, or also (sometimes repeat me here, but it’s better than to be overcrowded) on a night’s empty and non-driven platform. Just find a quiet place.
• If you need to go to the toilet, find a quiet place where you don’t disturb anyone, or even better (please do this!) use the Sanifair station toilets. They are kept fairly clean and cost roughly 1€ per use.
• Keep away from alcohol and drugs. Once you start with it, you probably won’t get away from the road until your death. Get out!
• Buy water from Gut&Günstig (or other brands of the markets) and rolls from the small rolls of Edeka and Lidl. (price roughly 25 cents).
• Get a little, cheap backpack. You’ll need him…
• Try to stop in any building during the day. It’s cold enough at night. But make sure that other people do not perceive you as disturbing.
• Come as often as possible with friends or acquaintances. Good, real friends would always at least try in such situations (it is not always possible:-/)
• Be careful not to spend too much money. However, if you are mentally bad, nothing speaks against a pack of biscuits (but not often!). Before you become depressed, take the pack of cookies (ABER no drugs!!!!)
• Attempts to submit an application to the employment agency for civil money. Be cooperative and work with them together! You won’t have a chance with 100 applications without an apartment, so you’ll hardly get around the citizen’s money. As soon as you have this and possibly have an accommodation, you can look for a job.
• For example, Immoscout24 or Classifieds are available as an apartment sports hall. The employment agency will certainly also have lists of apartments that you may be able to access.
• Don’t lose hope! This is going to happen again, even if it is very difficult and seems to be out of hand. At some point, you will be able to live a good life and even if this time is getting hard, you have had experiences that can also shape you in a positive way. You have more life experience than many others, that can be an advantage!
• Good luck!

For further questions please contact me! (Also by DM, if desired)
