I am getting overly down.

I quit work so to reduce stress in my life. And it has to some extent. But I just keep rolling with the punches. Rolling away over me, dogs murdered, kids issues, large vet bill that was supposed to pay part of taxes, $2,100. Another $1,000 on kennel supplies, all from my retirement that I cashed in early and took a 30% hit on. At least my husband is off probation as I paid that restitution off.

But it's getting old. I am very depressed today. Kids and car probs, even my mother in law agreed with you all here about kids walking on me. So yesterday my son asks if he could take the old new little car I got which is a standard, daughter learning on auto. He wanted car so girlfriend could have his for work. I get a call late last night that the car is making horrid noises underneath. I told him to park it and take his car as they were not far away. I got up early this morning and rode to town with hubby as he needed to be at work, and son's girlfriend with the thought that the car might be drivable.

I am so angry I could spit nickels. I had to have it towed for $133.00 to my friend's. He owes me about $300 in barter and he is the one who recommended this car. First thing it did was blow the cluth which was the manufacturer problem and wasw fixed at no cost.

I got a call from the credit card company. Back in Dec I had offered to settle with them. I don't have the money now.

I paid almost $1400 a month to cobra my insurance until daughter could be released from hospital. At the end of this month we have no coverage. We will qualify for free care but meds will be an adventure with all of the different companies and their programs.

My daughter fresh out of OCD hospital went to her first meeting with behavioral therapist today. I will be paying cash for that as well after this month but it is not something she can do without. I won't have insurance for my own therapy. If I had quit a year ago it would have been better because then I had children under 18. So I am in a really down place.

I saw my neighbor who murdered my dogs while I was getting my mail. I had malicious feelings for him. I wanted to go up and get in his face. I have very little faith in the legal system that justice will be done.

I am really sinking fast. I will baby myself and hope it passes. It could always be worse. I am taking the high road and the rest will be figured out.

Wow. That's a lot to be dealing with. I'm so sorry all this is happening. Babying yourself is a good idea. Try to keep your strength up.

Thanks Ben. I also didn't mention that last week's unemployment did not come in. Won't get it till Friday with this week's. I love poverty.

Wow! That's a lot to deal with!

I hope things gets better for you soon.

wisewoman, please PM me. xoxox pat

Sounds like you are on overload right now. Thank god you're not working or else I think it would be worse. But that doesn't mean that life won't throw you a curveball once in awhile...

I know when I quit working I thought my problems would be less, but they're really not...sometimes it seems like they're worse! Try to be kind to yourself, pamper yourself as much as possible, and remember that it will get better in time.

Thanks for the hugs and kind thoughts all. Makes me feel less alone.

thanks Katheryn, It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep. I am in pain. Wonder if it's true, pain is worse with depression? Ouch.
