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. |
I misquoted earlier in this thread *blush*
But this is why I hate banks!!
In certain changes and adjustments that I have made over these past few years, I've come to accept that the majority and I mean majority of these little "overdrafts" are more a nifty play on books and less because the account holder is careless and unable to maintain their books. Some of the entries don't flow in real time. But woozers don't they make your heart sink and anxiety race?
Glad to see your daughter could help some.
