I think most of us are "right there with you". I am in a similar situation. Was downsized in June and haven't been able to find a job. Our state has the worst unemployment rate in the nation and I know that it is my age that is preventing me from getting a job. While I don't have PTSD, I have just lost my husband and my mother-in-law, and know that one thing piled on another doesn't help. Receiving help from others, while I cringe, I have been thankful my son has the ability to help me each month. He faithfully wires money to my account, sometimes when I least expect it. I hate it, he knows I will never be able to pay him back, but he's ok with it and I have to accept that the Lord works in mysterious ways and He uses other people to help us. So, if it comes to that, as hard as it is, say thank you. (this is easy for me to say, I have a terrible time doing it myself). It's one day at a time, and sometimes, it's only an hour at a time(even then you sometimes have to break it down to minutes!)

Just know you are certainly not alone with depression, unemployment and all that goes with it...like you said, we are all in it together whether we want to be or not and whether we like it or not.
Thanks for this!
