Car breaks down tonight for the fourth time in one month. I need my car for work so now I cant work and probably another 700 of money I have to borrow to fix. Cant get new one as credit is wrecked and under on current car.

Cant take meds because I throw them up every time. Now Im being told I have GERD and take new pills that I dont even know if I can hold down.

Nothing but revolving door of mechanic, primary doctor, head doctor and failure.

Seems better when delusional and in addiction and at least not depressed as $##*.

Yeah, sometimes the delusion is more attractive than reality....but ( and there's always a but) it sometimes takes away your freedom.

I'm sorry you are having such a tough time. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now. I hope things smooth out for you soon.

Be cautious of "Delusions of Grandeur".

I was in a similar situation with my car. It kept overheating and would break down almost every day on my hour commute to work. I kept taking it in and realized I was spending more on maintaining my car than it would cost to buy a used car.

Im pretty much the king of "Delusions of Grandeur", I take it up a notch to the international level. But have seen the light and have embraced Im just a working stiff for the rest of whatever life I have left.

Ive sank over 6k into it this year and another 1200 from this new repair and its only worth like 5k. Im under on it, but have decided to fix it and trade it in and get something dependable and just have high *** payments and longer payments as I cant take this anymore.

Hey. Sorry you have so much going on at once. I know what it feels like when it seems the universe just won't give you a break. It's like you want to scream at it "Just smite me already and get it over with!" At least that's what I sometimes feel like- like somebody up there is playing with me like a mean kid who is holding a magnifying lens above an ant to watch it squirm does...

Anyway I am gonna be a little hypocritical here bc I never successfully do this myself when in that mindset, but try to view the universe as inherently good rather than out to get you. Bad luck and shiity stuff just happens randomly and yeah it sucks. Also it never seems like it is spread around evenly- some people get thru life totally unscathed while others seem to get plowed over and over agin. Its not fair and I feel like the world shouldn't work that way but it still does.

Anyway, i hope your depression passes quickly and that things settle down for you soon. TKe care. Hang in there.

Yikes!

Hope you feel better and get a car that doesn't breakdown so much.

My daughter's boyfriend bought a car that broke down a few days later. He and one of his friends ended up swapping vehicles. Don't know what the friend did with the car but not the boyfriend's problem now.

Im glad to say Im beyond the "why me" with my car, as its just a lemon and I should of taken action earlier this year. Im just going to replace the car this week with help from family and hope I get a great one with no issues.

I just cant believe I just cant take the meds and move on. It seems so simple, but I literally can't hold them down. I 100% need them and I want to comply. Ive been to so many doctors for my stomach issues, that I still cant believe Im not in solution.

Im just glad I got a good 30 years in before the BP snatched my life. At least I had a good run at it and some good times.

Hopefully the problems stopped with that car. If mine stops, whoever gets it after I trade will get a deal as its a sweet ride, just a devil under the hood.

What kind of car do you have? What do you think you are going to get instead? Good luck.
