    You have not disappointed us(me), I just don't have any other advice. Maybe check Craigslist for cheap places to stay?

    Well, regardless if you choose to take advice or not please still keep in touch. I think a lot of us would feel horrible if something happened and none of us knew.

    I had a friend who got kicked out and was homeless for weeks in the middle of winter. She wouldn't accept help and didn't trust anyone and felt like the darkness consumed her because she had bipolar. Not to say she had it worse but my ppoint is that I couldn't help her until she wanted it. So I stayed back and just had her check up with me. Eventually got her into a home and she's better now.

    Things look hopeless and there's little I can do from here but please let us know you're okay. That's all I can really ask.

    If you are still looking for shelter, Urban Peak has a location in Denver that provides shelter and support services for people who are homeless and between the ages of 15 and 24. They specifically talk about LGBT homeless issues on their website so I'm assuming they'll be pretty affirming and supportive.

    If you haven't yet, check them out - as people have said above, the first goal needs to be getting off the street.

    Good luck!

    I'm gonna tell you how I feel right now. If I could summon a world filled with darkness and terrifying creatures. I super would right now.
    Happy people are so cruel and decisive.

    I may know some folks in Denver that can help. One is gay and the other is his ex partner. Please let me know if I can contact them for you.

    I just caught this story. I hope you find some stable shelter soon! Some churches will reach out to you with welfare or a real bed. I have a friend who was homeless for years, but he is in a stable situation now. He is also bi-polar and I have seen him struggle when he swings from positive to negative. He had the VA for medical and eventually a van to sleep in, so I guess he had a couple more advantages than you do. I can tell you, from my experience being his friend, there will brighter days ahead.

    I thought my world was ending when I couldn't walk last year. Now, I am walking all over the place in good stride. I am not cured, but happy I have another chance to be who I want to be and learn more in this life.

    I am religious, so I will say God loves all of us, even though it doesn't always feel like it.

    Food and shelter. They're from an LGBT church. I'll ask.

    They can't offer shelter but they did give me this:

    LGBT Center of Denver

    So, I did a risky thing a moment ago, I just snuck back into the house to grab my phone charger cause I clearly need it; and to my surprise no one was there, not that I care where the hell they could be, it just made it an easier task to complete.

    Enough.

    With the "church" non sense, please, I will never go there.
    Fire doesn't cleanse, people! It blackens.

    Of course they wouldn't offer shelter, not at to my surprise!

    The LGBT Center of Denver isn't a church, so please consider them.

    I'm really concerned for you. I had a really, really tumultuous experience coming out to my family and I remember it 22 years ago like it was yesterday. Please take good care of yourself, as well as you can right now. You are worth it despite how things may feel.

    Please post to my wall if I can do anything more.

    *warm embrace from Seattle*
