First I want to apologize to folks. I have not been here for a while.

My life has been so busy. I hit rock bottom in the spring of 2015. I found myself unemployed. I finally became eligible for affordable mental health care at my community clinic. However, the clinic is crowded and the care is somewhat substandard. Then they told me a few months ago that they would not accept my insurance so I stopped seeing the pdoc. The therapist wasn't helpful anyway. I have made strides forward. I am taking accounting classes working toward an associate degree in accounting. This is something I wanted to do for 10 years. I got a part-time job at a dry cleaners I used to work at several years ago. The job is easy and the people I work with are like family. I could work here forever but the job does not pay enough to live on.

The schoolwork is getting very hard now. Not just for me but for all my classmates. My husband's business makes precious little money. He gets very little work in. He refuses to try to get a job doing something else. If I can get through another year in school I can hopefully get a job making a living wage. I am so frustrated with my husband's lack of motivation. I also feel so alone with my burdens. I am feeling myself slipping back into depression. I don't want to go back there. I asked my medical doc if he could increase my dose of Prozac. He said he would but he has not.

My husband likes to watch nonstop news. The news gets on my nerves, especially regarding this ugly election cycle.

I am thankful to God that Hurricane Matthew caused no damage to my house or my daughter's house. There are some positives out there. My street fared okay but the back part of my neighborhood looks like a war zone still. So many huge trees fell down. I did a whole lot of praying when Matthew came through and God answered my prayers on that issue.

Just felt a need to vent.
