I really Hope Tomorrow Will Be Better

Snoppykins

What do you do when you want to be the one to let go and cry but the other members of your family are having an awful day and you have to be the strong one and try to keep your wits about you for the sake of everybody else.

My husband is depressed, and a second away from a heart attack and that scares me to no end.

We are late on the car, we have very little food, I cannot find a job and my husband was only able to get a part time job. The person we live with that owns this house, his contract at his job ends in two days and he has not been able to get another job so we all are about to see hard times!

My sweet husband even had to sell some things he has had for a log time on ebay to help us make ends met.

Tomorrow we have to cut off the cable and we never have anywhere to go to have fun together. And the news always has bad news on and I see people here even who have awful things going on.

Sometimes getting out of bed seems to much. I hate days like these

I really do not wnat any pity, I just needed to get this out......

I read earlier on MSN that Susan Orman lived in her car for a short time after she graduated from college. She also lived off of $400/mo before she moved off to better things.

I think when we are all faced with adversity and hard times, it is just an opportunity for new beginings.

Keep your chin up and look for those doors.

Get out of the house and go on a hike; it's free, it helps with depression and stress and it'll help you clear your head. Take DH along with you to lower his BP.

I'd also get in touch with a temp service, they usually have jobs available especially this time of year with retail inventory's coming up. It may not be as high paying as what you're used to, but it's better than nothing. I'd also get on as many job sites as possible and post your resume. ( I've done all of this as I've been unemployed for 2 1/2 months)

It can be done, it WILL be done, 1 way or another you'll be OK.
I do have to ask ... do you have kids? It's much harder when there are dependant children involved - been there done that - but things will be OK, believe me, tho I realize sometimes it doesn't seem like it. And I know it's awful when you feel you've got to shoulder everything for the benefit of everyone else, but it does make you stronger.
Hang in there! I think the idea of a long walk, or hiking is a great idea! A nice long, private bubble bath works wonders too!

All threee of you said something that helped me and I want to thank you so much!

I am choosing to look at today as a chance to make some kind of improvement!

Yes I have a daughter! I know she was feeding off of my bad energy yesterday and I felt awful for it. Today, I didnt wake up thinking life was just over. It isnt perfect but I will make it somehow!!!!

I like the hiking idea, the rain however keeps me inside. It rains a lot here in Wa, at least in certain parts and I am in one of them. I hate cold rain, I love summer rain!

Once I turned on the computer I started job hunting right away! My husband and I are going to work out later. We have to walk the dog at least once a day, rain or no rain so we will do that together.

Again, thank you for your encouragement

GOOD! It does take a LOT of work to find a job right now. Look at your local law enforment as well. Here are some sights I found useful in my search

www.jobing.com

www.usajobs.com (government jobs)

www.monster.com

www.retailjobs.com

www.hotjobs.com

Look at the states Employment site as well, they often have great jobs and, if you're on Unemployemnt your eligable to draw that through 1 year of school. They often offer job training and resume services as well.

I know this isn't much but just STAY POSITIVE. Nothing good can come out of thinking negative.
