My husband will be a brand new certified teacher this summer, after changing careers in his 50's. The state we live in just announced that all school districts will be laying off teachers and doing no hiring. We are living on our savings which will run out by the end of the year. He has already started to look for a teaching position in other states, but all states are facing budget cuts due to the bad economy.
I am paralyzed with fear. I have been homeless before and do not want to go through that again. I am working very hard at living in the moment, that is keeping me barely functioning right now. Getting out of bed is an effort, taking a shower is an effort, cleaning and cooking is a huge effort. My pdoc has hiked up my med dose and it's helped some what. I'm afraid we will lose our home and be forced to give up my grrrls (my two dogs). I really wish I could just fall asleep and not wake up.
