请教HN:在重建我的心理健康后,我如何摆脱无家可归的境地?
我从没想过自己会陷入这种境地——但我遇到了一个自己无法突破的障碍。我在这里寻求帮助、建议、想法——任何实际的方法,以便摆脱流浪街头,重新回到稳定的生活中。
在过去的一年里,我失去了我的母亲(癌症)、祖母(年老),并经历了一次离婚。我陷入了抑郁,最终住在车里,几乎无法正常生活。
但我没有一蹶不振。通过治疗、氯胺酮治疗,以及构建我自己的AI辅助心理健康工具(ChatGPT真的救了我),我变得更加坚强、健康,准备重建。我的心理健康现在很稳定——我已经做了内心的工作。
这是我的情况:
我住在车里,有能力时会住在便宜的汽车旅馆里。
我全职开Lyft/Uber,但我的车需要换新轮胎,续保险,还有一笔车款即将到期——没有这些,我就无法工作。轮胎400美元,保险200美元,车款290美元...
我有一台台式电脑,但没有稳定的地方安置它并工作。
我很快就要回学校学习计算机科学,目标是从事AI/ML工作,但我需要在学生资助或遗产(都延迟了)到来之前生存下去。
这是我的问题:如果是你,你会怎么做来打破这个循环?我怎样才能建立一个稳定的基础,回到编程/自由职业,停止仅仅为了生存而生存?
我愿意工作。我知道通过做自由职业技术工作,我可以赚到3-4倍的收入,但我不能在车里做这些。
我考虑过租办公空间,找室友,甚至设立一个GoFundMe,但我需要可行的想法,而不仅仅是希望。
我该如何摆脱这种境况?对于像我这样有技能、有动力但没有资源的人,有什么计划、工作或选择?
任何建议、想法或帮助你能给的——我都洗耳恭听。我已经重建了我的心智。现在我只需要一个稳定的地方来重建我的生活。感觉自己不断像陷入流沙,而救援的绳索又离我有5英寸那么远,这很艰难。
我在南犹他州(圣乔治),愿意搬到SLC地区或拉斯维加斯,我只是需要为了我的孩子们留在南犹他州周围4小时的半径内。

I never thought I’d be here—but I’ve hit a wall I can’t break through alone. I’m asking for help, advice, ideas—anything practical—to get off the streets and back into stability.<p>In the last year, I lost my mother (cancer), my grandmother (old age), and went through a divorce. I spiraled into depression, ended up living out of my car, barely functioning.<p>But I didn’t stay down. Through therapy, ketamine treatment, and building my own AI-assisted mental health tools (ChatGPT literally saved me), I’ve come out stronger, healthier, and ready to rebuild. My mental health is solid now—I’ve done the inner work.<p>Here’s my situation:<p>I’m living in my car, staying in cheap motels when I can afford it.<p>I drive Lyft/Uber full-time, but my car needs new tires, insurance renewal, and a payment due—without it, I can’t work. $400 for tires, $200 for insurance, $290 for car payment..<p>I have a desktop computer but nowhere stable to set it up and work.<p>I’m going back to school soon for computer science, aiming for AI/ML work, but I need to survive until student aid or inheritance (both delayed) arrives.<p>Here’s my question: What would YOU do in my situation to break the cycle? How can I create a stable base, get back to programming/freelancing, and stop just surviving?<p>I’m willing to work. I know I can earn 3-4x more doing freelance tech, but I can’t do that from a car.<p>I’ve thought about renting office space, finding roommates, even setting up a GoFundMe, but I need actionable ideas, not just hope.<p>How do I climb out of this? What programs, jobs, or options are out there for someone like me who’s got skills, drive, but no resources?<p>Any advice, ideas, or help you can give—I’m all ears. I’ve rebuilt my mind. Now I just need a stable place to rebuild my life. It's hard feeling constantly like I'm in quick sand and the rope is 5 inches too far away.<p>I'm in Southern Utah (St George), willing to relocate to SLC area or Las Vegas, I just need to stay local for my kids...4 hour radius from southern Utah.
