aside from the obvious, no money, working, but checks are gone the minute i get them, no insurance, i was brought to the er after a harrowing drive home 4.5 hours tuesday. blood sugars dropped. to the 20's which is a step away from coma.

my boss could care less....just more worried on whether or not i will be at work. Im just having a meltdown. it dont feel like christmas.

It doesnt feel like anything. and today im having urges.

mini meltdown day

mini meltdown dayI know how it feels like everything is crashing on you, but you can beat these urges. You've done it before. I know you can. I know it. Be your own strength and use our strength too, because together we are stronger than any urge!!

((C))) i notice this connection more clearly now... you hurt and you want to hurt yourself.. its not punishment, cause you arent horrible and you havent harmed others intentionally.. it leaves you with .... questions then...

since we know you arent a horrible person, we would want you to feel kindness towards self and as always you do, others...

so what could happen to improve this situation? i know you search and search for jobs and answers and you are sincere about it...

what you do is compromise your wants some... ugh compromise, what an ugly word... or is it? how about 'adjustment'?

there are several credit counseling centers available to help manage your financial crisis... if it is slipping beyond your control there are budgeting coaches available... i know all this costs money and how do you pay when you are broke?

that is the time we make payment with our inner spirit.. this 'never give up' attitude pushes us to the limits... human endurance is mighty capable...

sitting with you, understanding, and making an offer of sharing this pain with you because i have been there myself.... only i self harmed in different ways i thought... i think its similar tho...

always sending healing vibes your way...
Thanks for this!

Well. I work in tech support. I fix computers. when i got this job. (new company, the sole employee right here!)

I was promised, a raise, benefits, he would pay for my cell (which is MINE and i use for work)

um thats about it. I work 10-12 hour days, use my own cell and computer.

and no raise, no benefits, no paying of my cellphone (but a wonderful time discussing how much my phone sucks when he tries to call) and me carting around people on the campus to which i work.

Ive become a doormat and hate it. I usually have the freakin (insert body part here) to say something. but im so afraid of no money at all that i wont speak my peace.

guess its my own fault. thanks for the help guys.

Colleen, I'm sorry, but like you said now might not be the time to make demands? Making the demands is what gets you what you want (with the "or else I'm leaving " talk to back it up)..... Can you come to some sort of acceptance of this for the time being for your peace of mind?

Thats the thing. I think im going to have to "keep my mouth SHUT" until the economy is better. A job is better than NO job.

I am sure I will get through this. Well just have to wait and see. I will talk to him in good time.

thank you all for your replies. just trying to work things out.

Colleen
