Totally anxious. I hope this isn't too lengthy...............or triggering?
My long-time roommate is moving out anywhere between now and March. She is looking for a house with her boyfriend (the move is on good terms) but I have no clue how I am going to afford rent on my own. I am a single mom with two kids, joint custody, which is good. However, I suffered a recent TBI and cannot handle working 2 jobs to pick up the financial slack. I am also paying medical bills, and trying to afford therapy, which is looking like I am not going to be able to pay for that either now. I'm really scared because I don't really have anywhere to go...worse case my parents offered my family their living room to be converted into a bedroom...but afraid ex might use that as ammo against me. So I am very anxious about this, and my future. I have such desire and dedication, and am a hard worker, but this physical setback is really hard to deal with...I could be so much more and I try to overcome it, but with a brain injury, it is just not there yet. I guess I should be happy I have a job and kids and life. I am, but very very anxious. Thank you for this thread, shattered sanity. It's a a good one.

I don't get anxious about the future because I've got enough problems today. Tomorrow may happen and then I'll deal with it.

Right now I have a job and I am not very worried, but my contract ends in June 2013 and I will need to go on the job market again and then I will be very worried. I will be afraid of not being able to find a job and therefore not being able to afford to rent my nice apartment. My county operates motels for MI patients who would otherwise be homeless, so I am thankfully not worried about true homelessness, but living in such a motel forever is the worst case scenario, and where would I place my three cats, and how would I live without food that I love to eat? - those would be worries that would keep me up at night.
