Hi nzgal I just saw this thread and I also hate how money fouls everything up. Long ago I had money problems causing a lot of anxiety and luckily (well, luck plus hard work) I was able to straighten out my bad credit and live within my means and do well. It was always very comforting to not have to worry about money. I too always feel like people should help each other out so if i had money to spare i would donate to charities and loan it to friends who were in need without ever stresssing about getting it back (it wasn't worth it to me to destroy a friendship over money)

now in 4 months of being home because of my depression i'm quickly loosing it all. Tomorrow in fact the bank is scheduled to start foreclosure on my house. I am sure they will work something out with me but that will only postpone things unless I can get on my feet again. With all the money paid for taxes and disability now that i legitimately need a little help what i get is woeful and even with that my savings has been depleted so quickly.

i don't have family to move in with so i will be in trouble if the foreclosure goes through. the small amount of disablility i get ends soon too. i've worked very hard all my life and it crumbles so quickly.

i think my point it that as far as money goes it was not a source of stress for me before this depression began, and now it is one of my hugest issues so how am i supposed to conquer the depression when the stress factors keep growing and growing?
