losing my house and job at the same time.  wow.  broke.  failed.  exhausted.  sick.  scared.  lonely.  sad.  i wish i could end this nightmare.  i feel like i can't even breathe anymore.  it's weird how you can work so hard all your life and be a good citizen and still wind up here.  i just feel like laying down and never getting up.

Anna, consider downsizing.

When I became sick, and unable to work, I had to move from my townhouse to a small apartment. It was so hard at first to get rid of furniture, decorative items, and all kinds of things that would no longer fit in my new and much smaller home, but it ended up being for the best - my small apartment is so easy to keep clean and organized and having maintenance available 24/7 takes a lot of stress off of me.

It took time to adjust of course, but it can be done.

I know you're in shock right now, but just take small steps. You may find things get less stressful for you on the other side of all this.

sounds like you are another victim of the pandemic. there are millions in the same situation. First thing is when the house is gone, do you have somewhere to land? There are millions subject to eviction across the country. The Government HAS to do something ... and they are 'working on it'.

I know ... not much comfort. I am sure you will survive and this is not your fault. You are not a failure. You are a victim. Keep the faith. One good thing ... among others is that you are not sick. Hand it to God. Say it out loud. Say it through the Lord Jesus. He is waiting to hear from you. Pray for yourself and all others in need. Say it out loud.

I am so sorry. Please do post and try to work on figuring our challenges.

1. credit cards, You don't have to pay these people immediately. If you have a lower interest rate, do send a letter that you DO NOT consent to a raise in your rate because of your situation. If they want wish to terminate the card, then fine.

2. mortgage Some companies have programs and there are gov means of support.

3. job I'm sorry about your job but hopefully you can get unemployment and present yourself in a positive way based upon your skills and get another one.
