I know how you feel. Before I got sick we were barely surviving on my salary. Now, I feel like we're drowning. I see no end in sight.

I don't think you are overreacting at all. Money, or more specifically, lack of money causes a lot of stress. Jennifer's suggestions sound pretty good. Though be careful of the check advancing, its easy to get out of control there.

Do you have any money saved? We have a tiny savings account that I borrow from in a pinch.

Somewhere in the classified forum there is a thread that talks about donating plasma. That would get you some money.

, I hope you figure out a plan.
