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.
We seem to have a lot in common as I was a Respiratory Therapist before I had a mental breakdown and was misdiagnosed with bipolar 18 years ago and terribly drugged by pdocs in the hospital. When I came out I was slurring my words and I was told to go on disability. I reluctantly did but it was a good decision in the long run as I was never the same. I now know that I have complex PTSD and GAD that was never diagnosed until recently. I can sometimes have very dark periods and cry for no reason that I am aware of and sometimes I cry due to memories that are overwhelming.

I am sorry that you are struggling as well. There is always hope and help sometimes comes from out of the blue. I have faith that our circumstances will get better.
