I contacted the unhoused guy's brother...

@InfernoTouch you are far too kind....you legit took time out of your day to write this long message, to a stranger; i appreciate it so! I take him in at intervals..it is exhausting for even a day or 2..lately i have been reading about schizophrenia and how very much danger i could be in. even when he was talking to his spirits/voices the other day, he laughed "with them" and said, "yeahh..she'll see soon." so im afraid i am backing off more than i wish was necessary :( still waiting on his sister to be called back about next steps!

@foldedunfolding You deserve so much credit for the strength and compassion you’re showing in such a challenging situation. It takes a rare kind of person to not only take the time to care, but to also seek understanding the way you are. That speaks volumes about who you are.

I can only imagine how emotionally and mentally taxing this must be for you. It’s okay to protect your own well-being, even when your heart wishes it could do more. Fear and concern in situations like this are valid, especially when you’re feeling vulnerable. I’m here to remind you that you’re not alone in navigating this—it’s brave of you to take the steps you have, like involving his sister and researching more about what’s happening.

And for the record, we are only "strangers" among each other if we want to be. But as long as we have common sense and compassion towards each other even we don't know one another in life that's all that matters. Based on your actions You’re someone who deserves to feel safe, valued, and supported. Always here to listen, and to remind you how remarkable you are for balancing care with self-preservation—it’s not easy, but you’re doing it beautifully

@CestManan exactly..it is so rough. i offered him a place to stay, but he has become so unwell in just the last few weeks, he couldnt even handle a simple job.

@foldedunfolding No, I'm mentally preparing myself for homelessness again.

The last 2 weeks have been brutal for me and I have been close to walking out a few times, the thing is that people are getting stabbed to death for walking down the street here in town and I'll likely be spending the first night out here in town because there are no night buses out of town.

An 18 year old was stabbed and died over Christmas.

He probably doesn't even know that he's sick, either, or even remember half of what he's done. Hopefully, his family are able to get him the help he needs so that he can live the best life he can in future.

@HootyTheNightOwl damn i am so sorry..any job you could take to prevent those circumstances and get your own place or something?

@foldedunfolding No, I can't work and, even if I could, he won't let me.

@Beaker4444 aww that is so precious of you, and thank you so much for hyping me up!!

@foldedunfolding Thank you for making it so easy.

@foldedunfolding oh i see so he wasn't a total stranger..

@SStarfish he was haha..took him to dinner and talked only one other time before that

@foldedunfolding oh 😊

@Strongtea thank you, my dear friend. it just killed me knowing he was out there in the cold rain and stuff..i would go searching for him and cry. his father committed suicide, and he got in a bad accident bullriding..then turned to meth. he used to be sooo hot, he could have MODELED legit.

Oh gosh, that’s so tragic and upsetting. It wrenches my heart. 🥺🥺🥺 He will totally appreciate what you’re doing for him@foldedunfolding

@Strongtea thank you for having such a gilded heart..his brother keeps saying that he thinks he will die soon, and is seeing the spirits from the other side..dude is only 28 😔😪 it is so emotional having a dead man walking around me..

@Kypro thank you so much for seeing me that way..it just seems like the obvious thing to do!! but it can def be dangerous and even expensive

@foldedunfolding yes but at least people can try to help in small ways. I try to keep blankets with me in winter to hand out to anyone who looks like they need one.

@Sylphrena aww thank you love..i just have been there, y'know

@SubstantialKick thank you..i am missing him already, in anticipation of him being 51/50'ed or whatever it's called :(

@JohnnyNoir aww thank you, so are you

@ChipmunkErnie love the concept that that is literally the only thing you took from this

@foldedunfolding It wasn't, but it was what I felt like commenting on -- sorry you don't approve.
