the past year or so has been the worst of my life.
i lost my job due to leaving during a panic attack - i was there for 5 years and had only missed one other day ever (when my father had a heart attack).
since i was out of work for several months i got behind on bills, and i am still trying to catch them up.
i finally enrolled in a credit counseling service that is in high regard - and i thought things were looking better - but one of the accounts that i have been paying through this has been taking the payments but also sold my account to a collection agency who is calling me nonstop and saying i have about a week now to pay it - and everyone is giving me the run around.
i discovered last week that my boyfriend, whom i have been with and lived with for the past 3 years, has been cheating on me and lying to me for at least a year and a half. so i have recently been trying to find a new place, but still do not have much money to do so.
and now, just after midnight, my car was repossessed -- i was late on a couple of payments which was turned over to collections - and i have been making payments through there -- but they just came a repossessed it anyway ---- and now i have no way to work in the morning, and i know it will cost a lot to get it back and i don't have it all at the moment.
in fact, i have a life insurance policy from my father where i could withdrawal money that had collected if needed - i have done so to catch up on the car payments but have yet to receive the money and i am not sure how long it takes.
i am really at the end of my rope. i don't know how much more i can take or even if i am strong enough to handle all this. i am all on my own with no one to help me with any of the burden, not even emotionally --- how am i to do this?

Your salvation is that insurance fund.
either way though.... you need to call the company that is paying that out....and tell them it is urgent you have it and when can you expect it. then you need to take a deep breath and call the car ppl to find out exactly how much you need for it. as for work....call a friend and see if that can get you there...or do you have buses?
you should also have records of what your credit ppl paid and if need be find a lawyer to get the collection morons off your ass since you have been paying it and should have proof.
as for the bf....i know that hurts but forget him for now and work on the rest...you can't change the shit he did but you can let it not take you down.
it can and will get better. it will suck for a few till you sort out some of this but you do have light at the end of the tunnel. i am sorry it all hit so fast but you will be ok. just take a breath and start calling to figure this all out. freaking out will not help....calmly finding out the facts and going from there will. good luck!
i found an apartment and put a deposit on it on friday - i'm going to try and call tomorrow to ask him to hold the check - he said he could for 7 days but at the time i thought it wasn't necessary.
i am just frustrated that all this is happening at the same time - and i don't think i will be able to sleep tonight b/c i am so upset about it all. i fear the worst b/c that seems to be my luck lately.
on top of all this, i need to pack - and i don't know when i will find the time. if i had money i would hire an assistant... i really think i need one.
Don't wait---the stautes on thes things run out quickly. Call a Women's Advocacy Group and get help there, first.
Sorry, just tried to help---nevermind
There are probably even church groups that can help you move....never give up.....
