Life is a mess. (F19)
Heads up, this post is a mess. Sorry.
Hell of a long story short, I (F, 19) was kicked out of my parents place shortly after turning 18. I lived with friends for a while until they were forced to relocate, and I was essentially forced to move to Florida with my long distance boyfriend (M, 32) in June to avoid being homeless.
The first few months were.. fine. I was upset about having to move so far from my hometown, but that was the extent of it. I started looking for a new job, and my boyfriend was paying my phone bill for a while.
It's been 6 months since I got here, and I've only been feeling worse and worse. Every job application I've sent out has been fruitless, I never go out, and not to go too deep into it, but I don't even feel loved by my partner.
My parents never actually taught me to drive, and I can't afford classes, and I have no friends to teach me. I was hoping my boyfriend could help with that, only to find out he hasn't renewed his license in years, and doesn't own a car, which means my mobility is incredibly limited. Every business I haven't applied to yet is 4+ miles away, and I can't walk that far, as I have a fainting disorder. (Have passed out several times walking to work before I moved here.)
My boyfriend has stopped paying my phone bill because it is too expensive (he has no job, he lives off money from his dad.), so I have no connection if I leave the house. I talk to my parents on Facebook every few weeks (yes, they kicked me out, but we still have a somewhat okay relationship), and they are the only people I talk to outside of my boyfriend. I cannot depend on them for any help.
My boyfriend never wants to go out, and it may seem stupid for me to not be able to go out alone, but I've never been in Florida. I'm not from here. I have no idea where I am, and I have no phone data to find my way home if I get lost, since he stopped paying my phone bill. I just.. can't.
I know the first comment is going to say "Girl your boyfriend is a creep/loser, break up." or something along those lines, but even pushing my personal feelings aside, I think it's pretty clear I can't do that. I don't know anybody else that isn't hundreds of miles away. I would be completely alone in the middle of nowhere.
My life is a living nightmare. I dread going to sleep in fear of the next day starting. For the love of God, does anyone have advice or resources that could help me?
