it gets worst everyday

Just when I thought it couldn't get worst, it just did. I had lost my part time job almost a month ago I have 2 exams left at school, my mom is not working much, bills are piling up, I have a huge amount left to be paid on my glasses that I really need. Everything is just coming down and to make it worst no one seems to understand what I'm going through. It's like the more I wanna be thankful and be comfortable the more obstacles that come in my way. My graduation is coming up and I'm not even happy. I could barely afford the fee and now my mom had to use the only money she had to purchase her dress to pay an appliance bill or they would have taken it back today. This is too much

Life throws many curve balls. And it's hard when you are unable to sleep. Are you having a hard time falling or staying asleep? I could give you some advice or you can message me and vent if you need to

Thank you for those really encouraging words @gmasunshine4. I really appreciate you sharing bits of your story to put this into perspective. However, though you can think and try your best to do whatever it takes to make it we live in two different society. I am in the US, I live in Jamaica. People do not readily pay persons to clean their home. Unless you are in the urban areas. I live in rural Jamaica, people do things on their own because they don't have money to pay persons to do it. And even those who can pay they try to manipulate you by telling you to do a whole lot of work and giving you a small fee with the statement "a dat mi have cuz time hard" which makes it is a difficult time they have so that's all they can pay you. If they are paying you a $1000JMD which is equivalent to $10 or $11USD, they would want you to clean their whole house if you would let them for this because if you request that amount to clean their bathrooms only they will say that's too much as they do not see the value in the service you will provide. Getting a part time job here is hard even if you are in college because they'll need you to work a specific amount of hours in between. Classes and that's not possible based on the schedule so when thinking about university here you can't rely on getting a job you have to have back up just in case you don't or you'll have to turn to devious and unthinkable means to survive.

Jobs are not readily provided for teens leaving high school as we don't have any "experience" and jobs that you can get without a degree are kinimum wage jobs which makes no sense in most instances for example where it is located. It makes no sense you work and all you are working for is bus fare and lunch money because that's all you're getting.

I do highly regard your advice but in our society you have to be thinking hard to make it here but thank you soooooooo much. I'm happy to here you are having peace now. That's wonderful

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
