I have a little expertise there. I spent three years sleeping rough around London from 2001 to 2004 due to mental health issues. At that time, there used to be lots of abandoned cars in the suburbs, so I would sleep in them, cover myself with newspapers and plastic to keep the warm air from my body in. If I couldn't find a car to sleep in I would look for a discarded Travelcard and try to get some sleep on the Tube and the nightbus. Also, I would sit in libraries with a book on my lap and try to get some sleep but the staff would always wake you up if they see you. One of the worst things about being homeless is not getting enough sleep. I was a lot younger then, probably wouldn't be able to survive it so well now.

God my worst fear so vunerable that must have been so harrowing and you see the good and bad of people everyone going about there day like your invisible I always give money as it terrifying to be in that situation are you ok now with accommodation your a warrior surviving that there is a guy for 9 years he's been on the streets doesn't ask for anything he's so strong I always thought if we was all made homeless tomorrow we'd be asking him where to go how to survive but now people see him as invisible I see him as a warrior
