Title: ATTN TUCSONSPAGS: HALP
Post by: Cait M. R. on July 02, 2010, 03:03:16 PM
Stranded homeless in Pittsburgh with nowhere to go, a stolen wallet and a breaking backpack. I will soon be homeless, clothesless and hopeless. BUT THERE IS YET HOPE FOR ME! (There probably won't be tomorrow.)

Cassidy Cate needs his family in Tucson to call up the Pittsburgh Greyhound station and tell them they exist. It's THAT bad, really. An address for them would also be appreciated, so they know where they're sending me. Traveler's Aid said they may yet be able to pay for me, but if they can't then well I guess I'll jump off the really big yellow bridge here or something, since hitchhiking is actually illegal. I'm really screwed if you spags don't pull through for me, and I'm not just saying that to get stuff out of you guys.

I spent the last 9 days in Clarion Psychiatric Center for losing my shit when I had been kept awake for a week straight and kicked someone once. I was dropped off in the middle of an enormous city I had never been to. I spent the night in my second homeless shelter. I'm 20 years old and my legal record is clean, with no drug and alcohol addiction. I got SCREWED, hardcore. I'm counting on some of the best people on Earth to help me out.

Cass, out.

It's my only shot at survival, unless someone else wants to take a swing at sending me to be homeless in their town. Otherwise it's gonna be a long way down.

23 min till I'll have to haul arse back to the station and hope someone calls for me, because my generously and rule-breakingly provided library computer access is quickly running out.

How do you manage to get yourself into trouble all the fucking time like this? :?

Are you cursed with eternal bad luck or something?

Every single return to PD you make and post, you're homeless, the police mistreated you, the psych hospital did X, someone wanted you to murder someone, now your wallet got stolen, you got screwed big time in some way or other.


Didn't that book, 48 Laws of Power say something about not associating with people that continue to be miserable? How's that work? Is that immoral?

I dunno, but wtf is up with you, every time you post here you're in all sorts of trouble and basically the only thing you do is bitch about it and ask people here to sort it out for you. So, no, I'm not taking you seriously at all. I wonder, do you spread your odds by crossposting this to like five different forums? It might work.


Oh also, we're not couchsurfing.com, but did you try couchsurfing.com?

hey, I just need help by 3:30 my time.

As for my luck, Trip? I don't know. I'm not making it up, I can definitely give you phone numbers to call and places to check in with, I have terrible luck, that's simply the truth. If you really don't trust me, Light of Life Homeless Shelter in Pittsburgh housed a Cassidy Cate last night, which is the same date as the discharge date of a Brad Shorts from Clarion Psychiatric Center. Ask them why he was admitted, ask the Lighthouse in Butler the same question.

I. Got. Screwed. Yes, I know, I'm asking for help from the wrong people. But they're the only people I know and trust.

From what I gather, if you call the Pittsburg Greyhound station, you can confirm that Cait has a place to go.

I think that if that happens, he can get a free ride to an address in Tuscon.

From there, I'm guessing he'll be asking for a place to stay once he arrives.

I'm trying to squish this in my brain and it ins't working.

A second read through brings more clarity.

Cait, is there anyone in particular I need to talk to? Is Cait your real name?  :? :?

ETA: I doubt my parents would be happy if a stranger got dropped off at our door, so is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go?

From what I understand, someone needs to call their greyhound station, pose as their family, and give them an address.

I'm willing to get him/her out here, but I can't help myself, let alone anyone homeless and travelling. It's fucking stupid, IMO, to come be homeless out in Tucson at this time of year, but I don't want someone's possible suicide on my conscience.

ATTN CAIT

I still don't know who I need to talk to. Calling the main line and customer service result in the same automated messages, and none of the options have to do with telling people I exist. Trying to get a real human results in the phone just ringing, ringing, ringing.

From my vantage point, this looks like the realm of crisis services.  Surely those exist in Pittsburgh.  I gotta think there is some non-profit or organization that can help Cait connect with her? family.

Freeky honey, you know I love ya and if this were you stuck somewhere I'd come get your ass and haul you here to StL with me yanno?

I strongly advise you get a LOT more info before you do anything because they WILL get your personal info from you and they'll have the number you call from.  They will have you on record as a responsible receiving party. 

I'm presuming the shelter or phych ward Cait is/was on is who is giving him/her the ticket to Tucson.  Why can't Cait go to his/her REAL home?  

I don't know this person at all.  If it were a regular who I had interaction with, then yeah, no thoughts about it, but this just sounds really suspicious to me.  Besides, I couldn't, in good conscience, put myself in a position of repsonsibility for someone who is suicidal and who I don't know.

And that really sucks.  Seriously.  But homeless at 20 means you suck it up and go home until you can come up with a better plan.  You don't go to a random city to be homeless.  OR you stay in a local shelter and get your shit together.

May I suggest:

CONTACT Pittsburgh
24-hour suicide and crisis intervention hotline that is available for individuals that are suicidal, in emotional
distress
, or in need of information and referrals.  Calls are answered by professionally trained volunteers that
provide supportive listening and referrals when necessary.  Services provided by CONTACT Pittsburgh are free,
anonymous, and confidential. CONTACT Pittsburgh Crisis and Suicide Hotline 412-820-4357 or
1-800-SUICIDE (Calls answered 24-hours/day, 7 days/week)

Also:  Every state including Pennsylvania, has 211.  You call them, tell them what services and information you are looking for and they will connect you with the proper resources.  There is certainly someone in Pittsburgh who can help connect Cait with her family or whatever assistance she really needs.  You should be able to dial this number on a payphone, or find a kind soul who will let you borrow their cell-phone or business phone.  

This is a better way to find help than relying on forum users.

Tucson is a really, really bad idea.

There's no work here.  Social services aren't taking any more applications (they're strained to the breaking point), and homeless people here have a lifespan of about 3 years max.

And I can't speak for any of the other Tucson spags, but I won't be taking in any basket cases.  No offense, I have kids to think about.

Also, back story, I think Cait's parents put him in a gay re-education camp.  So... yeah.  Get safe, and get stable.

Also, if you're looking for a job and/or shelter, you're going to have to stop looking like what society's standards would describe as a freak.  It's a hard fact, and it isn't fair, but it's the way it is.  Take the time to express your gender issues, etc, once you have a somewhat stable lifestyle (Though I'd advise you restrict it to off the clock).  If you want to survive in a grey world, you're going to have to learn to blend in when it is necessary to do so.

Or continue being a martyr to how unlucky you are and how unfair everything is.  Or go sailing off that bridge.

The choice is yours.

On the off chance that Cait reads things literally,  DON'T KILL YOURSELF.

You're giving us vague and incomplete information. 


If it helps, pretend you're in a movie that takes place in the real world, and you're someone trying to communicate vital pieces of information to someone who can help.

What would you say that would communicate your needs in the most effective way?

Too many people on here have had serious serious problems and have managed to (for lack of a better phrase) pull on their big girl panties and fucking deal with the bullshit and move on from it.

Things are hard all over.  Everyone has problems.  Some of us have serious problems.  We deal with them as best we can.  

I'm more than willing to lend an ear or a shoulder, but I agree with Roger.....

Let's boil it down:

1.  From everything s/he has posted, s/he is a he who dresses as a she, blatantly and yet not fabulously.

2.  He's fucked up every situation he's been in, due to psychological issues.

3.  He's now threatening suicide if his "Tucson family" doesn't give him - sight unseen - a place to stay, an actual address to pull up to and crash out at, jobless and all fucking weirded out.

Here's the problems with this:  Even if I cared, and I don't, I already scare the fucking neighbors to the point that I have to deal with the police on a frequent basis...So frequently, in fact, that I call them by their first names.  The last thing I need is to convince the police that my "hilarious weirdness" is veering off into "bad craziness", and suddenly their friendly stop-overs for coffee and a chat turn into something more sinister.

Also, I have two kids, one of each gender, and they see enough strange shit without having some psychologically damaged drag queen show up at my house, wanting to sleep on the couch.  Fuck that, they can get exposed to that shit in college, like everyone else.  Also, Cait has mentioned being locked up for assaulting someone.  That sort of shit around my kids?  Fuck that.

Explaining the midnight shattering of windows and flying dildoes to an amused cop is one thing.  Explaining that some random freak you let stay on your couch is robbing/assaulting the neighbors and scaring the VD scabs off the local children is another.

Observations:

1) "Tuscon family" means Dok & Co.?  I was under the impression that Cait a) knew (or at least met) y'all personally, or b) has someone else in AZ.

2)  300 posts is not a large contribution in PD.com-land.  Without IRL knowledge, I don't trust it.

3)  What the hell happened to Dimo?  I haven't seen him post here in weeks.




Ok, that last one was completely unrelated.  I just got distracted.

But please, for goddsake don't jump and get yourself some help.

God to fucking fuckdamn. I'm going camping.

Hey, this isn't Kaienne we're dealing with, is it?

Observations:

1) "Tuscon family" means Dok & Co.?  I was under the impression that Cait a) knew (or at least met) y'all personally, or b) has someone else in AZ.

2)  300 posts is not a large contribution in PD.com-land.  Without IRL knowledge, I don't trust it.

3)  What the hell happened to Dimo?  I haven't seen him post here in weeks.




Ok, that last one was completely unrelated.  I just got distracted.

1.  Re-read his posts.  He was trying to call the Tucson crew his "family" as a means of laying a guilt trip.

2.  Yep.  Hell, you didn't even trust US enough to meet the little lady, and we're good people and saints and shit, all full of responsible good cheer and that ettiquite shit you hear about.

3.  Just talked to Dimo yesterday.  He's busy with stuff, apparently.

Well my angle on this is simply that Cait is in a big city, Pittsburgh, that has social services.  I mean, I love you guys, but if I were in the middle of a mental breakdown, crisis, whatever, I would be far better off looking for a lifeline IRL than through the internet.  If for no other reason because it is more practical AND you would be dealing with people trained for the situation.  

So if Cait's aim is to hook-up with someone back in Arizona, there will be someone in Pittsburgh who can help with that, even if it is just providing a telephone.  If Cait wants help in Pittsburth, again, he is all set.  

Really, 211 is a great resource.  The people on the other end of the phones there are trained to help people looking for help.  It's their job.  It isn't the job nor the realm of PD.COM. nor any of its members.

Naw, don't think so.  Cait is on IRC a lot.  If it were Kaienne, I'd have said the same things, but more politely, out of respect for Kai.  Also, Kainne is in Toronto, last I heard.

Cait's aim is to guilt someone into letting him live rent free on the couch, while he does what he did to the last people who took him in.

1.  It does.

2.  She's fucking HOT (From an aesthetic POV, of course, she's a kid by our standards, you filthy old lecher.).  Also, she's just done a spot in a country music video in Maine, of all places.  It turns out she is hot enough to be a model and a professional extra.

I was under the impression that one of was only supposed to POSE as a family member, and wasn't actually calling us his/her family, and as such I was just gonna give them the address of a shelter or something so it would seem more legit, had I been able to do it.

I might be mistaken in my interpretation of that post, but that's what I got out of it.

It doesn't matter at this point anyway, other than maybe the advice posts about finding help and getting back on feet.

Just saying.

Well if that is the help Cait was seeking then it isn't any help at all.  Seriously, going through what I'm going through with my brother, the best option is to get some help from professionals.  Even if the problem is with dealing with parents and family, talking to a professional will help.  Now, I'm going to wager insurance is going to be an issue.  So again, I would recommend calling 211 or some other social services center in Pittsburgh and figure out what you can access for services and how you can do that.  Shelters should be able to provide help too.  They will usually have mental health professionals on staff or access to them.  

Moral of this story:  Go with the pros.

I'd only set up shop in a joint like Tucson with secured employment, local knoweldge of what areas are known for what, signifigant liquid and semi automatic resources, and possible advance bombardment.  Rolling in without much cash or prospect seems like a good way to get eaten Mad Max style.

I did it 10 years ago and survived, but I hopped the first train for GTFO when the icebergs started hitting about 3-4 years later. I don't know what Tucson is like now, but if it's anything like where it was headed when I left, I'd stick with PA.

Based on what little I know from my experience with mentally ill friends, Cait's post makes me think of schizophrenia, which is  :x.

Cait, I hope you have found somewhere safe to stay. Tucson in the summer is NOT SAFE. Please don't try to find strangers to stay with; stick with social services! Please! You are young and vulnerable; people you only know from a few posts over the internet ARE NOT SAFE. Please seek local services!
