    I haven't made any progress, I haven't been out of the truck since the 15th of September (except that one night I got a hotel during that 34)

    I still don't get what getting a car will solve, where do I keep it? I can get a motorhome (maybe) and where do I keep it?

    I could solve a few problems with a rental car, but 1) i'm not 25 2) I don't have a credit card. Yes i'm aware that I don't need either at Thrifty, but the closest Thrifty is 130 miles away

    I can't get psychological help or i'll get fired because there is a chance they'll DQ my medical card. and don't forget that they can also fire you for being a threat to yourself and/or others (which people think I am) and since every 12 year old girl who suffers through PMS is declared "BiPolar" what will they tell a 24 year old who is unhappy

    so again, i'm stuck with very few options

    Living with mental problems and not getting treatment is the worst thing you can do.

    Proper treatment can take a dismal life and open up a new world for you.

    I've watched families be ruined because of someone's reluctance to get treatment for an obvious illness. One pill a day would have made all the difference, I've seen that too.

    i'm just unhappy, medication won't solve that.

    well maybe drugs will, like acid, shrooms, or meth

    that was a joke

    but medication doesn't solve being unhappy especially when being in the eviroment i'm used to

    You brought up not being able to get psychological help, the implication being that you felt it was needed. Your posts would also point to depression, and have a hopeless feel to them.

    You're 24, single, no responsibilities, travelling the country. Life shouldn't appear hopeless at this point.

    Good luck to you, whatever you do.

    No surprise here, you complain and complain about your personal life but make no attempt to make things better for yourself. Your problems are your problem, use your common sense and make yourself a better life.

    Still confused?

    First, your employer can't fire you for seeking treatment; depression is covered under the ADA. Second, if you're confident your medical card is at risk (or feel others perceive you as dangerous) you should voluntarily step out of the cab until your issues are resolved.

    We can't fix your internal problems for you, only suggest the housing options you originally asked for. Rx medication can kickstart a change of mindset, but it sounds like you'll need regular therapy sessions for a lasting improvement.

    Accept that everybody is imperfect and flawed in their own unique way, and seek help from medical professionals who can help you overcome yours.

    Could I suggest that you offer to pay your folks something for the time you spend there? It doesn't have to be a lot but something that is reasonable could really help both you and them feel more comfortable with the few days a month you are there. Food aint cheap.

    A car will help you get to and from home even if its your parents house. Also when your not on the road you have a way to get out and do things for your self. You can park it in the company parking lot like all the others do when on the road. I hate not having a car it drives me crazy, I wont go anywhere without it I always drive myself when going on group trips an such. I dont think you are as bad as you think you are. ive read your posting in other threads and your very smart an seem to be on point. you just need confidence ! Oh and if you get a small motor home instead of a car leave it in company parking lot if it only takes up one space.

    You seem depressed, hopeless and without any confidence.....Some how your going to have to find a way to find reasons to do something positive for yourself instead of finding reasons not to.

    Remember...."Can't never could do nothing" Take the bull by the horns and put some of the good advice given to you to use.

    You might be surprised what a positive attitude will do for your well being. It's really up to you.....Good luck whatever you decide for yourself.

    they don't want me to

    and due to an argument about 4 years ago I avoid eating food while at their house

    ...the company parking lot is in Florida, I live in Missouri

    and you don't know me so i'll let this slide, i'm not smart, most people who think I am I ignore because if they think i'm smart they probably aren't either. it annoys me when people say things about me that aren't true
