Things getting very bad

Cheese

Today seems to be very hard. I am without work and I am unable to drive so it seems unfixable. Things are getting unbearable for me and Im not sure that will be able to keep going. Today starts week 9 since my job ended and I have had enough. Losing drivers license last yr and losing my job two months back and all the troubles and feelings connected with this hve certainly shown me that I am a troubled person. This is too much for me. I feel badly about whining about things on here but its about all that I have.

Thank you for sharing. Never feel bad about venting things out. It is helpful to you, and gives others a chance to offer encouragement, and that helps them (us). You are showing inspiring courage in staying in the fight. Thank you, as that means a lot to us too. Never shame in asking for help. You are worth helping. I hope this was of any help. Thank you and God Bless.

I'm so sorry you're in this situation. I'm sure you feel stuck, like things will never get better.
However, nothing in life is forever. You may be feeling miserable for a while, but it won't last forever. I don't know if that's any consolation. I hope you can find patience and things to be grateful for while you're down.
You're always welcome to vent! It's not whining, it's necessary to find connection when you feel defeated or lost.

Thank you for the helpful words. I read them as I sit here feeling like a child at age 51. Very unpleasant. Thank you all very much. It helps.

This is so encouraging to see you reaching out for support! It gives me courage that I can do the same

Keep fighting the good fight! You have made it to this point and I believe in you to overcome these recent troubles. Remember these setbacks don't define you. Keep on keeping on friend.

To get some momentum or some possible contacts, maybe there is somewhere you can volunteer or a local church you could connect with to get involved in a project or something of the like?
