I live a very stressful lifestyle. We are living like so many paycheck to paycheck. The stress of this is driving me crazy. Since my stroke i am only able to work parttime getting help with disability would not even pay for daycare so not worth it. I have been sick alot lately my headaches have increased and i have been in the hospital again due to stress. Does anyone have some cheap ideas that can maybe help me?

" I know this is easy to say, but, try to relax and not worry too much. God knows we are in need ; please pray and lift up your woes to God; He's always been there for me.Please try it and you'll feel a lot better. Also, i there any place you can go to, like family living elsewhere? I'm in my 5th year of recovery and it has been just horrendous! To top it all off, my husband, my caregiver, reacghed his burnout point and decided he needed a new life altogether and divorced me last month. So now, on top of everything, I'm all alone. So please try to remember that there are people much worse off than you are and think about how lucky you are, compared to the rest out there. . . Good luck and I'll be thinking of and praying for you.
Love always,
Annie:) "
