Ok - first - take a step back, close your eyes, breathe. Just take one thing at a time:
1. Exhaustion. Get some rest before you try to do anything, rest is how both the body and mind heal - without rest you will not accomplish anything.
2. Med issues. Get on phone and talk to doctor or pharmacist and explain the situation and find out what steps you will need to take to get it corrected and follow those steps.
3. Job loss. Look on internet, in paper, even just around town for advertisements for employment and apply. Join a website to help with jobseeking. If you can, apply for unemployment or SSI to help you until you can get another job.
4. Loss of car. Use bus system if your town has one, or cut down trips as much as possible and use taxi and/or walk (I do all 3) until you can afford to either repair your car or get another.
5. Mom hates you dragging her down - is there some other coping skill you can use or other person you can lean on? (Yes I know what I am asking I don't have anyone really to lean on except online)
5. Things don't go as you want - things rarely do in this world, and honestly - when you truly think about it - if they always did go the way we planned - wouldn't it be a noring world, being so predictable? Sure it would be nice if it could go the way we plan "more often" - but sometimes, when it doesn't, we learn something new about ourselves or life and grow from it - not saying it's fun - but, it's part of what has made you the special person you are today - and its going to continue making you special *hugs*
