> Having no "safe harbour" ...

Yes this is soul destroying - the psychological effects are brutal. Not having any little place as a 'base'.

I was homeless in Europe for a few weeks and it really crushes someone. I can see why so many rough sleepers take alcohol / drugs. Just to numb everything. I used to drink a few cans every night before trying to find a place to sleep.

Another crushing thing: as a commenter below said - on average people look down at you as if you were dirty etc. I found that so hard too.

I wish you the very best wherever you are ... really hope your situation will get better somehow please God...

(edit: oh just realised something - not implying the OP takes any substances or anything... just talking in general how I had to resort to alcohol in my situation)

Thank you mate :)
