Losing my will to keep slogging through
I've applied for dozens of jobs. My unemployment status is in the air and my payments are being held pending additional information. My car payment is late this month (so much for rebuilding my credit) and I've got $200 in drafts coming out of my account for insurance and other bills. All I want is a job that will allow me to pay the bills. I don't want to be wealthy. I want to be able to keep a roof over our heads.

I want to run, but both cars have less than 1/4 tank of fuel.

I want to scream, hide, hit something and give up. Uncle. The universe wins. I can't do this anymore...

4. I want so much to give you a real hug
:hug:

I wish I could help. If my son doesn't get a better job soon, I will be in the same boat as you.

I do feel very badly for you. Please know you're in my prayers.

It sucked a couple of weeks ago, when I thought I might have had appendicitis. And when dolo or the girls are sick. :(

17. I have life-threatening asthma
I got a 90 day supply of meds, but I'm almost out. One inhaler is $28 - generic!

:hug:

I know how you feel.

20. Jesus.
And seeing a new doc, they'll probably want to do a physical, not just get your records faxed and write a scrip.

I'm sorry. WI hasn't been so nice to you thus far, has it? :(

12. Come home
I realize you probably are home now but still. I wish there was something I could do. I think about you and pray that things will change in a hurry. :hug:

I spent every dime I had to move here and I have a 1 year lease. And honestly? I don't have a home. I haven't had one in 15 years. I just have addresses.

:hug:

Thank you for your prayers. I need them.

14. I'm somewhat in the same boat with you, lizzie.
My unemployment application is being questioned, and it sucks.

Hang in there, honey. I know it's tough and it sucks, so go ahead and scream. We are here for you. :hug: :hug: :hug:

22. I need to get back to sending resumes
one of the cars had a cracked radiator and it was nearly $400 to repair. Lelapin's father paid half but still. $200 is a lot to me right now.

I didn't get out of bed until 4:30 yesterday. Yes, I'm depressed. No, I won't do anything to harm myself. Lelapin's here for me and I'd never do anything to hurt the people I love.

Sigh...

28. You. Can. Do It. Hit something (soft). Scream in the shower with the
radio turned up. Curse the universe.

BUT DON'T GIVE UP!

It's gonna' happen for you. Sooner, not later. We're all pulling for you and for
things to get better for you--soon.

Many cyberhugs :hug:

31. Can't say I've experienced this, but a lot of my friends have
:hug:

Don't be afraid to ask friends and relatives for help if you need it.

You'll find that your REAL friends and REAL family will help you out in a genuine emergency, such as you have now.
