Hi!

I'm currently in a pretty desperate living situation. Things have been bad for a number of years and i've just put up with it for a few delicate social and financial reasons... but recently things have reached absolute breaking point.

I've previously suffered violence, property damage, unhinged verbal assaults at the hands of the person I live with. 
they refuse to get the help they need or even acknowledge their violent and unhinged outbursts and about three weeks ago now to the day they got up at 5:30am and started walking around the house repeatedly slamming doors and cupboards, unprovoked, throwing and causing damage to things with the sole aim to terrorize me; I spent from 6am until 9am that morning on the phone in tears with the local mental health team, MH triage and then their GP to try and get them the help they needs and respite for myself from the stress of the situation - all of the aforementioned insisted I call the police to have them sectioned and get a social worker involved, but was also told that as they're in their own home if they're not willing to co-operate with a mental health check then there's not really anything the police can do. The other only options were that they would also have to co-operate to get GP help as well.

since then I've too frightened to leave my room  as any evidence of my existence to them could be a trigger to spin into an unprovoked rage again; and as i've suffered physical and verbal assault at their hands before I'm not willing to risk it. I've had a travel lock on the door permanently since then. I've not used the kitchen and I've been surviving on crisps and nuts, and i'm terrified to use the bathroom; so the only times I do are when I absolutely know they're asleep, it's in these moments I also fill up bottle of water for drinking later.

I've needed to get out of this situation for years but now it's really desperate. My income is really eratic and for the last few months has been from just my disability benefit and patreon income so being able to prove I can afford to rent to a landlord is night on impossible. I will be able to get/do work when i'm in a less stressful environment as I have done previously but until
then i'm kind of stuck. I've managed to finally find a property that will accept me but to do that they need 6 months rent up front - so i'm coming here to ask for help in making up what I need.

thanks for taking the time to read this! also please enjoy the picture of Ethel cat because I love her very much.
