Hugs to you, I posted something very similar not long ago! In my opinion, my fall from grace from being a respected registered nurse, handling life threatening illnesses in a critical care setting to being a "nothing" and a "nobody" in this world anymore is so hard to handle that I almost cannot take it anymore.
If we did not already have difficulty dealing with life, this existence brings about it's own set of problems. I don't have anymore money for the rest of this month. Which is going to make me have to cut short some cooking I had planned for Thanksgiving which breaks my heart. I have enough food to survive on for the rest of the month. And holiday shopping, black Friday? Forget about it!
Like you, I worry constantly that my car could need repairs or tires or worse if I got really sick. I feel like I am walking on thin ice, if any little thing happens I am screwed. Wow, didn't mean to try to hijack your post. This problem is really just in my face today!!!
I cannot figure out a solution, other than to take my income and be homeless, then I could save some money...twisted logic huh? Wish I knew someone that I could sleep on their couch for a few months. Monthly rent and utilities are killing me right now.
God bless you and all of us! I wish I could come up with a solution.
