General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I'm feeling really anxious today

I'm feeling really anxious today. There are 2 reasons. First my room in the personal care home where I live is cold, the heat is not working. The only person who can fix it is the administrator, and he has not been in in over a week. State regulations say that the temperature has to be at least 70 degrees and I'm sure it's in the low 60's. The thermostat is locked and none of the staff members has the key. This morning I finally emailed the ombudsman about it. Maybe she has the administrator's home phone number and can reach him. I don't know what else to do. I'm just tired of having to dress in 3 layers of clothing. Nobody else in the house has to do that. 


The other thing is there is a pair of shoes online that I want very badly but I don't have enough money right now. They have 3 pairs left in stock. I get paid on Wednesday. They're not going to get any more in this particular style. The reason I need them is my feet have started swelling and I need a wide width. I have the same style in a medium width and I can no longer wear them. I'm so afraid they're going to sell them all before I get the money. I know it seems like a minor problem but I don't shop for shoes often and I have trouble getting ones that fit.

If you have a card, you can order it, and hold the purchase send order until Wednesday.

There should be a state or federal agency number you can call to report the lack of heat.

Yes what they are doing with the thermostat could be considered abuse/neglet. Look up for a phone number to report this .Perhaps, if others feel the same way regarding the thermostat it would help your case.Regardless of that you should not be cold.

    My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending.  She said that there are needs and there are wants.  She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it?  The answer is mostly "no".  So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed.  I also bought sheets that I don't need...
