Had to put my dog down exactly one month and 4 days ago. Since hes been gone I can barely spend time in my home alone. Im afraid to go to the bathroom as if somebody is there waiting to hurt me. Im also about to lose the house im in finally. as the second set of taxes are to be sold in december. i dont have the money for a first months rent, so thats out of the question and all my family says is what do you do with your money. well first, im depressed, so therapy costs, as do diabetes meds, asthma meds and diabetes meds for my husband, 2 car payments so that we can use our cars to work, two insurance payments. and doctor visits every 3 months. Im sick and tired of being broke. and now I can totally understand why some people with jobs are homeless. theres not enough to go around. Im at my wits end. I dont know what to do. I dont have family that will help.

Im kinda done.

I'm so sorry to hear this ((((((Cthomas))))))). It's so sad you had to have your dog put to sleep. And that you are dealing with so much financial stress and the worry of where to live. I'm very sorry that your family are not more supportive. Does your therapist have any practical suggestions? I'm hoping so much that some positive changes happen for you

Since the economy is so bad, there are many people in your situation. Can you talk to a social worker to figure out any resources that are available to help you?
