I'm miserable for all the wrong reasons

I've read most of Stephy's past threads, and I do NOT think that she's in the right mental state to be doing this. From pretty much the beginning on Stephy joining Chaz, her posts have been FULL of sadness. Her best friend committed suicide. Her family lost their house. She's young and homeless now.

This is NOT a person who is in the right mental state to be selling her body. Stephy puts herself down and says that she doesn't deserve to be happy, that she's lost everything, etc. Allowing other people to just use her body for sex is going to just bring things lower and lower...

This is my worry too. Stephy, I wish I was in a place to take you in and help you get back up on your feet. I know what it feels like to feel like you are being tossed through one storm after another and it sucks. I hope you will find your way out of this mess and soon.

I'm shocked someone would post this online personally. It's all I'm gonna say because I don't want to create more drama, but whatever the situation is, I hope you get some help.

I am glad I am not the only one feeling like this.

I'm not going to go into last night anymore nor am I going to go into a indepth analysis of Canadian prostitution laws on here. That's it.

Thanks everyone.

You know....the work really didn't touch me very much. It was very "wham, bam, thank ya' ma'am" throughout. I've seen and felt the worst of things - anything that a depraved john could think of doing to me couldn't come close to what's already in my heart.

It's the "morning after" and I'm no worse for wear. Going to Burnaby today to pick up some forms for legal stuff about the house, mailing it - then I have a free afternoon. Perhaps I will stop by some trendy little doggie boutiques around the neighborhood and ridicule the fact that they sell GSD sized bikinis (not kidding). Whateva, gonna try to relax - and get reacquainted with myself.

Did you ever go to follow up after leaving the hospital?

What exactly are you doing to get this home back? Who's name is it in?

Go to a local mental health center and see who has dbt classes. You need a counselor no matter what's true.

I had a coworker, educated, well liked, who worked with us at least four years. I would go with her to all these fancy places and she would get us to meet the important people there. She would buy horses at the drop of a hat to get behind the scenes of a show. It was nuts. I only found out later she would stop payment and only put on this front. There is the exact opposite to who likes the negative drama in their life. They need it. Others don't even have it and just make it up. I've been on forums were we report things and find out its a sixteen year old at home with mom and dad(which I always thought ten threads a day and typing style this was). Never in danger, laughing while people fret. One said roof caved in on home while husband beat her. I called bs and was mean. After more and more goes wrong you know something is up. Scammed a bunch of people and came back with a new story.

There no doubt there are issues here. But give me a break! Don't encourage this! She was at a place to get help and no one encouraged her to!!! No one! Personality d/os don't realy benefit from treatment like other things but she may just be childish and need to learn coping skills. Playin with her dog only gets so far. She needs real professional help if she is thinking she is getting back a past home like this is a Disney movie with dad in jail and evil mom threatening people. This is to much!

I meet people that tell me delusional things all day. Their angry parents or themselves call me to. Don't let it convince you of anything. Thank god the Internet is not involved for me.

Encourage professional help. It is needed. Counseling especially. They will help with housing. I don't care what is or isn't true.

Yea, I gotta say, this is the bottom line. I have to admit that this improbable series of ever-escalating events is making my BS meter spike into the red and I'm not inclined to feed into that part of it.

However, having said that, that doesn't mean I don't think that Stephy needs or deserves help. If it's all true, she needs help. If it's all made up, she needs help. Either way, advice on the specifics of hooking is probably less helpful than encouraging pursuit of some mental health assistance.

So here: this is what a quick Google of "vancouver canada mental health services indigent" brings up. Something like 400 organizations, not all relevant. But I'd suggest while you're looking for a job and trying to get your house back from whoever seized it, you browse through that list and get some real help.

Im from Canada. And Tim Horton's are always hiring, so is Mc Donald's. This is a choice you made. But there are plenty other options. Easy buck, yes. And to those asking, even here in Canada, PROSTITUTION is a high risk trade.

I see old people working at the mall, cleaning tables. I see young teens working at fast food places. There are options.

But you made your choice.

This. I cannot even believe there are people on here supporting this. McDonald's is always hiring. I am sincerely disgusted by the support given of her choice. I'm still edging on the hope that it's not true.

I think making people happy is an admirable profession. Good for you.
