I just got out of prison last week for a s***** assault offense. I’m 29, homeless, and hungry. I never thought life would turn out this way. I begged for a stay at the only local homeless shelter but they don’t admit s** offenders. I couldn’t even get something to eat.
There was a kind hearted lady who met me out back and gave me a fleece blanket and a plate of spaghetti which I wolfed down because I haven’t eaten in 3 days. She did that even though she could have gotten in trouble at her job.
But I’m still freezing. All I’m waering is jeans and a white t-shirt with a blanket wrapped around my shoulders. It’s 32 degrees out and windy. I hope I just die of hypothermia so I won’t have to kill myself. If all my life is going to be rejections and humiliation because of my past, I want to kill myself. I even use this cell phone to keep my cheeks warm. How can I improve my life if I can’t get any help now? For Christ’s sake, before prison I completed medical school. I’m a doctor who made a mistake during my residency (unrelated to any patient care- it was a personal domestic issue). But I can never practice medicine again. How can I get out of my situation without killing myself? I am really afraid of that but I’m suffering too much both physically and mentally.
