Hi HappyCrafter It's great to see you...I haven't seen you around in a long time.

Please, please start that thread. As I sit here right now I am so stressed about money I'm quite literally shaking inside. My bank account is overdrawn by $160. By tomorrow, if that money isn't in the bank I will get a bunch of overdraft fees. I ran the money up over the week-end because I had to buy a minimum amount of groceries and put gas in my elderly car, which takes a lot of gas. My cats will need food by tomorrow afternoon and I have no $ to buy it. Something has to happen so I can buy their food.

I'm so stressed that I took a Klonopin a few minutes ago to try and calm down so I can think of what to do. My nervous system just cannot seem to handle stress any more.

Financial need affects mental health in so many ways...I could make a long list of the ways right now. Thank you so much for bringing this topic to light.
