I just got off the phone with suicide prevention and all they suggested was I watch TV...... I can no longer deal with the way my life has gone. I have no family I have lost my fiancé to the system I have no place to live and I should go watch TV????
I give up! I'm done.

don't do anything stupid. Pull yourself together. You can do this.
Whatever you do, don't commit suicide.
Nothing is worth that. Step back, chill, do whatever however nothing is worth even talking about such a subject.
C'mon, hon, we need you around. Hugs, Devlyn
We love you Alexis! Stay here with us, we are all here for you..
Alexis,
Reading through all of your posts since you signed up right up to the first one on this thread I can understand just how bad things must look to you right now. However, even if it can seem trite to say it, it's a simple statement of fact, while there is life, there is hope. Against that, no life, no hope and you are still young, in good health apparently and also just come across as a very decent person.
In such situations, which I think many of us have faced to some degree at one point or another, it is really important to see where you have some room to take the initiative and get some feeling of control back. At a very simple level, what justifies the eviction notice and who can you potentially see to help you defend yourself? There is almost certainly legal aid available if you need it and while I know little of the realities in Canada there are others here who can probably point you in the right direction.
I also assume you still have a revenue, either a job or some sort of replacement revenue. Again, as long as that it is the case, it buys you time and you can use that time to try to sort a few things out.
Above all, reach out to people, here, from your local support group, wherever. There is no shame in reaching out to your fellow human beings at such times, it as actually part of what humanity is all about and you will find a helping hand somewhere.
So hang in Alexis and look for the light which is there somewhere when you look hard enough.
Hugs
Donna

Alexis, call the National GBLT Hotline. I can assure you they won't blow you off and advise you to just watch TV.

Hey Alexis,
If you need a friend to talk to, I am here. I've been through suicidal thoughts and know how hopeless one can feel. In my experience, things can get better even if everything looks bleak. Tomorrow is another day and sometimes it has something special awaiting for you. Please hang in there and contact me if you need to talk.
Please do not harm yourself Alexis, something will work out and most often it is something better than before
Where one door closes another is opened, so stick around so you don't miss out
Hugs
Hey Alexis,
There is another way and another day to consider. Come on down here and we'll go to the beach and play in the sand. please contact me or any of the above caring friends.
Sending as much love as can get through this internet wireless gizmo......
This too shall pass, Alexis. Just hang on with both hands.
Hey Alexis,
I'm sorry that we haven't heard more for you. I really hope you are feeling well. As I said before, please contact me if you need to talk. It really wouldn't be a bother at all.
Alexis please don't hurt yourself we are here for you. There are plenty of shoulders for you to lean on to help you get through this.
I don't normally check this thread & missed it, but began to wonder in the last week as is felt three weeks had gone by & no posting from Alexis. I went to Alexis profile, post & found this. I noticed here profile had a last activity dated Oct. 13. Hopefully that was Alexis. I have just sent a pm to her to update her situation. I like to be positive & believe she is among the breathing and hear from her.
Moderators, re Alexis Hennen, do you have access to an email or phone number, maybe an address for her.?We haven't seen anything from her since this post. Because I do not know if she had a name change and wouldn't know the male name to search in 411.ca Bell phone & address index for Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I searched under Alexis Hennen & didn't come up with anything, occasionally checked newspaper obits with no luck. I gave her my phone number & she called me once, but I unfortunately didn't get her number. Without seeing any further posts, it makes me fear the worst. I do realize there isn't much I can do. She said she couldn't move back home. Unless she got into a shelter.
Thanks
Jamie
