Hello. I'm Lydia. I'm not really sure where to begin my story, as it's not a very happy or pretty one, so I'll keep it as brief as I feel is appropriate to illustrate where I am in my life. I'm currently living through my darkest period since I lost my father five years ago, am without a permanent residence, and facing homelessness. I know from experience I can't survive this alone. I thought this forum might be an opportunity for a bit of support. I've read some of the threads and it seems a good place to start. I've made a lot of mistakes, most of which involve illicit chemistry, and disappointed most of my family as a result, so I have few left I can depend on. I feel I can redeem myself to most of those I care to, though I know this will take a great deal of time and I have a long, painful journey ahead of me. I will try to keep my chin high and not drag my usual brand of psychic sludge here. I aspire to use this as a place to bring some peace to my life in a time when I'm not sure if I'll have a roof over my head from night to night. Hopefully, I can offer some of the insight I've gained through my trials with all of you in turn. If not, I'm told I can be funny from time to time, so at the very least maybe I can give you a good chuckle. Love and harmony to you all.
Hi Lydia, welcome to EC. I hope you find just what you need here, everyone is friendly, and I feel I can say anything about my sexuality and be accepted. It sounds like you are having a really hard time, do you live in the UK?
