TC,
I'm sorry your in such a stressed time right now.

Keep checking (as I'm sure you are) Craigslist, paper.... Internet job search.

Don't get rid of anything. Unless your SELLING it.
If your in a place you can have a garage sale. Have one. Put things to sell on Craigslist.

I wish you MUCH luck...

I’m sorry you’re having a rough time with depression and anxiety right now. I hope it will eventually pass soon. Please know you aren’t the only one that goes through this, as the disease can do this to anyone of us. Take care and much peace and support.

Tc40 do check your town for people that help low income people---- financial assistance is available--- try and reach out---- i hope you feel better soon ((hugs)) polar

I was almost homeless in February. Very scary. Its the anticipation of problems that gets to me the most. Thinking about it, etc. Where you live are there private or public programs for homeless people? If it were me, I'd try to solve the problem beforehand. See what is available in your area. You might feel reassured by what you find, depends on where you live. Try to arm yourself with possible solutions.
If you have a real phone book look in yellow pages for Social Services. Know what assets are available.
Healing is on its way.
Keep on truckin'
.

Big hug for you TC..... I am so sorry that you're going through a rough time right now...

I hope that you can find something soon sweetie.... Is there anyway that you can get your old job back?..... Deep breaths.... .I would look into programs as well that can help you through until you find something......xo

hey TC, do you have any large hospitals in your area? Many large hospitals have their own kind of built in "temp service", you can call around and see if any do and maybe get some work to hold you through until you get a full time job.

just a thought.

Take care,
Kat

Hi everybody. I am going to get help with my car insurance. For three months worth. So that is a blessing. I was able to pay my phone bill ahead three months, because I have to have a phone to look for work. I am going to be checking with St. Vincent tomorrow to see about help with rent for next month. I don’t know why am stressing so much because Any job that I take is going to pay at least a dollar an hour more than what I was making. I did try to get my old job back, but that doesn’t seem like it’s gonna be a possibility. Part of my problem is that I can’t stand for long periods of time, so a lot of the jobs that are out there maybe ones that I can’t do physically. I am just so anxious right now I’m depressed over everything

And as far as my stuff Goes, I have either thrown it all away or donated it. My brain was telling me that just purge it right then and there. I probably should’ve sold some of it.

Hi TC,
The malady of being poor is I have nothing I can give to help except kind thoughts and a suggestion to look up something called the worry tree... i have it as a sign in front of me quite often and it helps a great deal.

(((special hugs)))

Social Services will generally help with Utility bills also when you're out of work. Especially in hot summer months and cold winter months, you might call your County office and see if there is a particular day of the week when they see people for help with that if you need it.

Hang in there.

Do you feel that you can continue working full-time in spite of your health problems? Have you thought of applying for disability? You can work part-time while on disability. It takes a while to get on disability, however. So, you need some type of financial help in the meantime. I had a little savings, pensions, and IRAs to help me while I was waiting for my disability to be approved. I was lucky though. Good Luck to you and I'm sending good thoughts and prayers your way!
