Scared of tomorrow

Yesterday was the kids' last day of school. I work for the school district, so today is my last day of school. When my day is busy, I do much better, but I will have the next 3 months... I work a 2nd job, but that will only be 3 days a week during the summer. I'm a little scared of having so much unstructured time.

I guess it's time to make a list of projects around the house to fill some of that time.

I know exactly how you feel. I do sort of okay during the week but weekends just kill me. I get so depressed. I'm trying to have more project lists planned and try to meet up with friends at least once. Bit it's brutal. Hang in there, I am pulling for you.

For the longest time I have felt the burden of going on. I pretend everything is ok and I put on my super girl panties. I don't have a lot of extra time right now. When i do it feels like i am wallowing in quicksand. I wish I could have some time to myself and do something for me.

Maybe you can do that. 1 day that you are free. Do something for yourself that makes you feel better. Start with something small and keep on going til you can move to something big. Find 1 thing a day you are grateful for.

Take one step. Just take one for now. Dont worry about whether you can take another one after that. Just take one step.

I am in the same boat you are. I've been feeling down all day and unable to put my finger on it. I think you nailed it on the head. I'm going to be sitting at home with stbx all summer. He works from home a lot too.

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
