Hi, this might be a long story. Please, if you'd like, help me with a reblog or a rt on twitter 🙏

This started in April 2019, I was living in a very toxic environment where I feared for my life daily and I barely slept for two months, I felt threatened and didn't even dare to go home most days which had me working overtime almost everyday. I managed to get out of there and most of my paycheck that month went to pay for the move, fast forward a month and my contract at work ended and I decided to move to another city to get as far away as possible from the people I feared the most. As you can imagine, all my savings went to move.

Two days after that move, I was hired at a fast food place, what I didn't know however was that they were shady and hired me to work 50%, though judging from my hours I was working way past 100%. After two months I was overworked, stressed and mentally drained from both work, all the stress with moving and I was extremely sleep deprived, I was then put on sick leave by my doctor as they actually feared I would have a complete mental breakdown, which I also had.

Usually when you're put on sick leave, you'll still be financially supported by the government and this is where the next mess of this story starts. My boss never registered my hours at work and once I was put on sick leave, they decided to fire me because they "couldn't have one of their employees on sick leave for being mentally exhausted", and I got barely $25, even after working 7 days a week for almost two months. I would fight them for this, but my mental state won't allow me to and after talking to a friend, I found out they sold the place which means my rightful paycheck is a lost cause.

Now, it gets even worse. I'm renting an apartment on a secondhand contract, or so I thought. I got in contact with the house owner a month ago which sold the apartment to my landlord and they told me that my landlord isn't allowed to rent her apartment out to anyone and she actually never even asked them! They've thought that I am my landlord all this time. They took a look at my contract and it's as fake as it can be and so is the rent as I've paid almost $400 too much each month. They also told me I should have 4 keys to my apartment, I only ever got one which means complete strangers have access to my home. Because my contract is false, the law won't do anything to help me and basically told me that it's up to me to get out of here and the owners of the house ofcourse wants me out too.

Because of the false contract, the government never stepped up and helped me financially because I need a legit home and a legit adress to get help from them. I've been without money since October 2019 and now I'm in insane debt as I've not been able to pay any bills on time. Going back to work isn't an option at the moment as I'm on heavy medicine just to be able to manage my day, I am so mentally drained and unstable I can barely bring myself to do basic, everyday things, and my situation has brought me to a point where I barely want to live anymore.

I need to get out of here, fast. I'll not be allowed to live here once February is over and I've not got anywhere to go, I'll be pretty much homeless.

If you've got questions, you can ofcourse message me here or on twt, @jjongbit

Any help would be appreciated, thank you ❤️
