Getting depressed

Sunshinegirl0228

Not only am I anxious about finding a new job, I am starting to feel depressed and the suicidal thoughts are coming as well. I am 200$ short on making all of my bills. I will call my car loan company tomorrow to see if I can somehow skip my June payment. It's a temporary fix but it would really help. My therapist suggested that for me. I have two more payments on my mattress then I am good and can have less stress about making my payments monthly.  I never should've bought that mattress where I ddI cause the interest is 100%. So a 800$ mattress costed me 1600$. Big mistake. I'm so stressed. I do not manage money well at all and that is biting me on the butt hard right now. I can't even work for instacart because my license expired and the BMV isn't opened yet. Hopefully they will open soon and I can reapply. I'm just so stressed

Ok, first breath! You already bought it so try not to stress about it now. You WILL find a job trust me. I understand the depression it sucks! Try and write down a plan maybe? Outline what you know you can do right now.
And guess what? I’m in the same boat as you. Not financially, but I have my bad days. I was just called for an interview for a great job which I most likely will be hired due to the industry. It is very stressful not knowing the unknown. Can we work? I don’t know I’m just as lost as you and I feel your pain immensely. My husband thinks I am perfectly fine. Because I basically run the house. I’m on SDDI. And scared to death to go back to work. But I do know sitting home is not helping me anymore either. It’s a vicious cycle.

Yeah. I’m trying to breath. At least I can go to bed soon and read my book.

Dude- You are doing OK if you can afford therapist. I stole food today from grocery store. It's dire times for me. And unemployment hasn't kicked in. And I got out of the hospital right before lock-down. This is very extreme times for me. I"m a professional person and what I've done is so shameful.

I agree that these are hard times... If you can't make your bills then call where you owe and see about missing a month or two until these times are over kisses.... A lot of places will make arrangements now.... Big hug

Big hug Dogmom…. There is nothing shameful about needing to eat.... I'm sorry that you're struggling....xo

Yes, make the calls for your bills and explain you are looking for work but until covid troubles ease at least a little bit ask for a payment option at a later date....

if they dont agree to not paying any till next month see if they will comprimise and let u pay atleast less say half now and sort rest out later. Paying half is still better then full amount. So try anything. If they say no dont just settle for its a no try a comprimise atleast. Good luck.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
