I am afraid I am slipping into a severe depression. This is the first time I have actually admitted it. I am feeling totally desperate about the fact that I have not found a job and can't pay my bills. My unemployment runs out end of May and I am so scared, and I'm barely surviving on that. I can barely by food, and I can't afford my medication. Sometimes, I have to decide what I need - food, or medication. I am so scared... I don't know what to do. I have very little motivation and I basically feel housebound because I can't afford to do anything - not even drive because I'm scared to run out of gas in my car. Tilly and Nutmeg are still ok, as I always make sure I get food for them to eat. I just want to find a job and I am noticing that even the jobs that I could apply for are dwindling. I am not sleeping, I'm not eating properly.. I feel like my life is in shambles.
I wish I could wave a magic wand and produce a job for everyone who needs one but since that isn't feasible, I'll add my prayers to your situation. Try to hold on a little longer for Tilly and Nutmeg if for no other reason. I do know exactly how you're feeling. I was in the same situation years ago and I took to my bed out of fear, which of course, solved nothing. (((HUGS))) Keep the faythe.![]()

Nomilynn...first, see your doctor or go to ER.
Often your doctor will have free samples of medication given to him/her by the drug company reps.
Apply for social services, even to cover your meds. Use the food bank. If you have a church community, reach out to them. Even the distress centre has resources for you to call.
Nutmeg and Tilly need their mommie!
HUGS and prayers that things improve soon with a job - but take care of yourself first!![]()

Nomi,
An extra set of vibes sent out your way.
My sis is having her surgery on Tuesday. She found a wonderful surgeon, after one from UCLA refused to even touch her during the exam. Some good vibes and thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks for the prayers guys. I do appreciate it. Today is an ok day.
I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.
Farewell & Godspeed, sweet Jadie Francine. You took a piece of my heart with you. 11/2002 - 8/8/2016

Thank you so much. I never remember to come to this thread on a regular basis and I am so touched that you thought of me.
I had an interview today but I don't think I'm meant to have this job. I am also doing a job search club which is teaching me new techniques that I am finding really positive.
Other than that, I am doing ok. When I allow myself to think about it, I can feel panic in my throat so I think I am in a little bit of denial, but I hope that I can get through it.

Re: My aunt - she is being released from hospital today, and my mom is flying to Winnipeg right now to help her out with groceries, etc.
My aunt is the youngest - Mom is the oldest. No doubt Auntie will get some gentle (ahem) chiding on stopping smoking, and not being a 100% couch potato. Heck, this pneumonia nearly killed her...her overall health and immune system need a boost!
THANK YOU for all your prayers.![]()
