Filing for bankruptcy and got a message that I might be evicted even though my rent is paid up.
It’s moment like these I can forgive myself for drinking to forget and get lost because how stressful these situations are. Today I have low self esteem and I just feel numb showing up today.

Call your landlord and see what you can do. I had to file a few years ago. Things worked out. Stress can be a killer. Call your landlord, leave messages if they dont answer. I don't think they would evict if you don't own them money.

Yes I just paid them for November I was just a few hundred dollars short, but their email was just so rude without even asking me. I’ve always been a good tenant and I’m in a vulnerable place right now climbing out of this hole so it was just added stress. Some days I feel free and then some days it’s like every little things at once. I’m at a point I don’t have reactions anymore and just waiting for this to pass

Your situation sounds deflating. Definitely call your landlord and see what you can do. Right, drinking is how we dealt with our problems, and we learned so much from ourselves from all of the pain. I hope that you can take all that you’ve learned and find a healthy way to deal with your stressors. If you just trust the process (while also doing the best that you can) you’d be surprised how things turn out so well. Coloring, journaling, and yoga/meditation have been helping me the last couple of months just to share a few stress relieving activities. Message me if you need to! I’m here !

Not much more I can say, that's not already been said. I really hope 
it works out. Keep us updated. I'm no Saint but drinking won't help, thats for sure. Stress is brutal mixed with alcohol.

Hang in there. Maybe a solution will work out.
I had to file for bankruptcy over a year ago due to circumstances.
Maybe the next place will be better.

Have you filed for bankruptcy yet? It's federal law that once a person files for bankruptcy it puts all civil actions on hold. You can't be evicted and you can't be sued. I know what I'm talking about because I filed the bankruptcy twice in my life. The last time, 15 years ago, I literally went to bankruptcy Court to do the initial filing at 8:30 a.m. and I went to eviction court at 9:00 a.m. and they had to dismiss the case. When your bankruptcy is over, they can proceed, but they cannot while it's in process.
