For context. I’m temporarily laid off work. With debt to pay and no income at the moment. Needed a place to sleep, no family or friends to help so i went to NAV.
I used to own a house with my ex wife. Now i’m relatively depressed, mental health not really great. I’m a Norwegian born and raised, 32 years old. My economy used to be good but now it’s relatively fucked. I’ve been on many different vacations, tents in the woods, mountains, beaches, hotels, bungalows, both cheap and expensive, out of all the places i’ve been to, i’ve never seen anything like this.
So now 03:24am, i’m literally sitting at a petrol station (Circle K) after a 1 hour night walk in the snow with my backpack and two plastic bags with some clothes. Because i couldn’t handle these creeps.
I know it was a free apartment, but i honestly can’t live like that. I’d rather get a tent and a good sleeping bag and live in the forest somewhere
