So sorry all the stress is just weighing on you right now. I have some suggestions that might help.

1. If you can't get samples from the doc and you use the same pharmacy all the time - go to them and explain you haven no cash until the 1st of the month. They very often will do what they can to make sure you have your meds, so they may give you just enough to get you through until the 1st when you can pay for the prescription....and then they'll fill the balance of it for you.

2. If you are taking your car to a dealership for repairs, very often they have courtesy cars to take you where you need to go from the dealership. They will even pick you up to bring you back to the dealership to retrieve your vehicle when it's repaired.

3. If this is the same repair place you used for the $700 repairs, ask them for a loaner vehicle to use while yours is back in the shop. Also, question them about what is wrong with your car now and is it something they supposedly fixed. If so, you should not have to pay to get it fixed right!

4. Call the gas company and explain your problems. Make a payment plan with them before they shut it off. Most places will work with you before shutoff....if you don't call until after the shutoff, they will want all of the money up front before turning it back on. Even post dated checks to them to hold until the proper date might work.

Once you can get all that under control....it may take a few phone calls, you should be able to concentrate on your studying and your papers.

5. Remember to BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take 5 minutes when feeling stressed to close your eyes and breathe deeply and slowly to restore yourself to some calmness....it should work wonders for you.

I wish you strength and peace as you work through your difficult times!

Hugssssss
