Worry, worry, worry!

Unfortunately, I still have a need, as my immediate problems won't wait.  My biggest challenge, and real-soon-to-be immediate need, is still bad word...finances $$$...keeping the rent paid, electric on, and definately my internet!  I am now going week three without a paycheck.  It's too late for my car, I already lost it...I loved that car...it was a 2003 used Toyota Corrolla, but I loved it!  Anyway, it's gone.  Okay I hanging in & working on some things & I know they will take some time, but again, I don't have time to handle some of my immediate needs.  So reality is I am of course now without any transportation, I am Bipolar II with a Social Phobia & General Anxiety disorder AND it is in swing.  (It's debilitating, embarrassing, pathetic, disgusting & shameful.  And as some of you already know, it was in FULL swing over a week ago, and many of you know what happened.  Well now I am also dealing with some of the after effects, as it didn't take.  I know I need to get to a Dr., but all this is overwhelming, where to go, how to pay for it, etc., etc., just too much to handle and pressure/stress of that nature, I don't do well with.  My after effects have been extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, tremors, occasional unvoluntary muscle movement, dizziness/unsteadiness, constant noise & ringing in my ears, some minor/light hallucinations when I try to sleep.  And it's mostly worse for whatever reason towards evening, but especially when I try to sleep.  I can't get to sleep for hours on end, then finally I do, but wake up many times ...hearing noises, involuntary muscle movements, bad dreams...then later in the wee hours of the morning around 5 AM I get to sleep & then can't wake up or get up til 1PM, and still not rested. 

Then the $$$ matter.  Besides you great folks here, no one is even checking on me anymore, and when they do it's not for me...it's them wanting something or to vent silly stuff that doesnt matter to me right now.  But nope, I don't hear from any of them now.  Not friends, not family, no one.  Of course, they know I won't talk or answer the phone or door, but still they know what I deal with financilly & personally.  Okay, I did lose my car...I had to come up with $1225, but didn't...I had like $200 & that was mine left.  Anyway, so okay I lost my car.  So okay, with what I had left and my son's help, as he is the only one that gives me any $$$ (even though personally he drives me nut's & worries me himself), helped to pay July's rent, internet/phone, water & got a few groceries.  He gives me $125 to help with my rent and another $20 towards the computer & buys a few odds & ins must have's in groceries, but he doesnt have much money either...shoot between his car payment & car insurance it's takes all but about $150 @ check and he only get's two checks a month, which he's giving me like $180 or so of once a month... which is $90 @ check, so that's leaving my son with $90 every two weeks for gas for him to get to his job & eat, clothing...so forth.   And honesly, I HATE having to have him b/c he's been doing it since he was 15 & he's 23 now.  I am actually bringing him down in many ways too...that's the truth.  I wish he'd get away from me (and some of his so-called friends) and work on his on life....NOT follow in my footsteps, but unfortunately that's what's happening.  My BIGGEST problem is keeping a roof over my head & food.  I'm going to apply for food stamps, but my rent is $585 @ month, plus I just moved here mid-may & still owe my $585 security even...which was suppose to be paid June 1st, then I still HAVEN'T gotten the electric changed into my name from the landlords...AEP want's $350 deposit!!!!  They said I had to pay $150 down & they could add the rest onto my account.  I don't have any $$$ .  Then me needing to get to a Dr., for both Physically & Mental reasons, which I need meds & know how to apply to get those, but still what about $$$ to pay the Doctor and/or hospital???   Cause a trip in & out isn't going to do it...I know that.  I'm sorry for going on & venting, but as you can tell...I am starting to really worry again as it get's down to the nitty gritty.  I have debilitating migraines, which Thank God I haven't had any in the last two weeks (although I'm shocked with what I did) because I ran out of my prescription migraine meds too.  It's like everything coincides b/c with my illness...I have to have peace/calm/stress free self & environment, but that's IMPOSSIBLE in my situation, which in turn make my illness act up & much worse...then b/c of boths of those things, plus no car...I can't get out to work and since about 2002 my mental illness is more frequent & much more severe, but then I've had tons of stress since then...I haven't been able to hold down a job for one related reason or another since then.  People, kids....things they do & say...my own son & his g/f....I can't stand being around near anyone!  Hate it!  Solitude is the only way I can cope..well with my cat ...it's like he know's...he's the only one who is by me all the time.  I can't hardly stand getting out around the working world...because people stress me out!!!  I mean it's life, but it stress me out...I can't stand it!  I dunno just worried, worried again...but thanks for listening "again".  I keep on keeping on, I pray, you pray, but whether my help comes from the good lord up above or here...time isn't going to stand still & wait, so I worry.

And sorry, I have to vent some more.  People who try to scam you and/or mock the need of Aid, mocking comments and/or help needed, posting scams, emailing you trying to scam you...coming on here saying they need help, but then dressing half naked & etc or showing things that don't need to be public...totally disgust me!  FOR SHAME!!!  Do they not have ANY self-respect, decency, dignity, compassion...or all they all the devil in disguise?  Obviously devil's in disguise.  They need way more help somewhere else...CHURCH!  Sorry ya'll, but it just get's to me, so on that note, I think I'll go for now.

Comment: NOTHING WORKS! TIME IS RUNNING...

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Hopeless & Dead_Inside"

NOTHING WORKS! TIME IS RUNNING OUT! I have tried asking for donations, links given to me for $$$ available, loans, etc., AND STILL NOTHING!!! Either I get NO RESPONSES or I get turned down as always. I am in NO state of mind to handle all this, I'm losing all hope, along with my mind. I have two days to come up with money to get my car back, $$$ for my rent due on the 1st IF I don't get it, I WILL LOSE EVERYTHING after this point!!! I mean EVERYTHING!!! There will be no point of return this time, I will be down & out for good. My mind is back & forth on suicide, people give me hope & links & etc, so I hang on & try, BUT JUST GET DISAPPOINTED each & everytime...it's useless. I keep trying & holding on, BUT for what!!!??? WHAT!!!??? I'm eating pills left & right to cope & deal and waiting for the moment when I've had to many...hopefully soon!

Comment: One thing no one can say about...

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Hopeless & Dead_Inside"

One thing no one can say about me is, they can't say I never tried. Still nothing, no help. And looking at all the other pages/posts of people in need just makes me realize there is no hope for me or much of anyone.

*(Updated 2/16/2009)  7/20/07 - You can find many different helpful resource links on my site, so please be sure to keep checking my page, as it continues to grow, and I continiously make updates & add resource links.  The one important thing to remember is to take things "one day at a time".  Try NOT to let it overwhelm you because you must keep your senses sharp, especially in dire times.  I know, I have been there, and unfortunately, on more than one occasion. 

Speaking of getting overwhelmed and taking things slowly, it's especially important to take things "one day at a time" if you are trying to deal with a crisis and manage mental illness in addition to your crisis.  I have personally dealt with mental illness the biggest part of my life, and I'm now 43, so if there's anyone who knows the challenges of handling both, I do.  That's why I have also dedicated a page for Mental Health Matter's where you can find many stories, resources, links, information, support, etc. for mental illness of all kinds.  For me, I have to take things "one day at a time" because sometimes, that's the only way I can get through a day without being too overwhelmed and giving up.

Perhaps you want to know or read about a variety of different Life Matter's, well then I have another page for you to visit where you can do just that, read some of my personal blogging (with my personal opinions, thoughts, concerns, struggles, etc), find different life resources/links, information, inspiration & encouragement & much more.  Visit my page collectively titled...Life Matter's.  Please feel free to email me any time, we can go through it together.  If you have time, leave me a message and/or comment, I'd love to read them...for they (you) are my inspiration too!  Thanks to some great people here, along with their encouragment and support, that's a big part of what helps me day-to-day. 

I now also have a new page called WAHHousewives (Work-at-Home-Housewives)  Here you will be able to find a variety of information about WAH, and if that is even something you would be interested in doing.  And NO it is not a get rich quick option, NOR can you make tons of money upfront, BUT what it does do is allow you the possibility to do just that in your future.  You can make a small income in the beginning depending on how much time and effort you put into your WAH job(s) as well as your amount of support in family, friends and networking opportunites. 

And at the very least, perhaps for you, as it did for me, my many WAH jobs have been a great haven for me, as they have kept me creative and occupied, and I know I'm doing something that matters...that is helpful to those in need. 

For those that don't know me or may not remember me, I have come a long way from dd_inside a couple of years ago, and from that point on, all my WAH jobs, my website(s), etc., have come to exist by the inspiration and encouragement of others from this Aidpage, a few in particular mentions (though I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, please forgive me!)  Elaine, Rose, SoulLight, & WhoKnew ...THANK YOU GIRLS! ;-)

At any rate, I started my WAHH page just to try and help point out some of the particulars of WAH, and also because I saw soooooo many sites for WAHM's, but I was not a full-time mommy, (I have one grown son, and two young step-children whom we only have on Saturdays) and I couldn't really find any sites dedicated to just us plain ole WAHHousewives, so I created one.  So hope you'll visit!

7/12/07 - Some of you (and any others interested) may also want to check out my new site "Resourceful Living"  where you can find even more inspiration, resources/links, motivation tips, a forum, etc.  It's all thanks to the encouragement and help of many of you here including, but not limited to...Rose, Elaine, Soul Light, Poorly Living...all gave me the inspiration & the extra push...thanks to you all!!!  Come visit my page! 

 

Still lot's to do yet, but it continues to be up & running, with more Life Matters/Issues information & blogging each day !  So don't forget to keep checkin in with my new site ~KC's Bloggin' - "Life Matter's"  Rememer, like I said, it's just the beginning, so it has lot's of growth yet!  Thanks again everyone!  Please continue to keep me in your thoughts & prayers, as I will you!

 

7/5/07- My biggest challenge, and real-soon-to-be immediate need, is still bad word...finances $$$...keeping the rent paid, electric on, and definately my internet! But I'm going keep on keepin' on, because I have hope and I know I have prayers, and well-wishes.  Which you know I GREATLY APPRECIATE!

 

 

7-4-07 - I just wanted to take a minute to thank those who have been so gracious to me with your time, efforts, encouragement & helpful links.  So okay, it's not money, BUT it is doing me good.   So any other out there feeling down and/or hopeless, stick around!  So, I thank you for that & you know who you all are!  Thanks again, & I am certianly going to stick around for more encouragement, tips, & etc.

 

7-3-07 - For the record, NOT that anyone was accusing me, they weren't, but I just wanted to let everyone know, I only wanted $$$ to help me out this one time to get me through this...get me back on the right path.  HAD I gotten $1200, I could have gotten out of this situation, but now it' s much worse & is going to tons more worse.   Also for the record, I did NOT get even once cent donated from here, friends, family, no one.  I want to work at home (at a real job opportunity) and willing to work for it, but I can't get that either.  I have NEVER, EVER asked for free money in my life.  I've worked my butt off all my life for nothing.  I just didnt want to come across to anyone as trying to pull a scam or anything of the like.  I suppose I should let my time be done here b/c I've tried all I could for a week.  I will try to continue to fight, but I guess I'll just leave it in GODS hands now, whether it will work out or not and whether I will live or die, but I pray I die rather than deal with any of this any more.  As for the rest of you in need, and I know there is an unbelievable amount  of you here....do stay here & read on b/c there IS some good info here that can do a lot of people good.  Take Care.

 

 

My UPDATE:  It's too late, I have now LOST both my car AND my job.  My rent is due, I need food, computer payment is coming up and I don't have it, so things are about to get even worse than before.  I can AND will work from home, as I am very experienced in administrative office work as well as, writing, and I'm very computer/internet savvy.  I have lot's of skills to put to good use.  I've worked as a Travel Consultant, Beauty Consultant, worked in a law office, housing assistance/section 8, manufacturing, retail, rental property, etc., so I have TONS of experience under my belt in addition to my knowledge & skills, but I need a LEGITIMATE work from home job FAST/NOW!!!    One that is real, pays well is full-time and needs no $$$ down.  I just don't have a car, so I can't do any traveling or delivery, besides I have no money and my illness is hindering me getting outside right now too. 

I have my bad "suicidal" moments, and I know I need some help with counseling & etc, but I can't think about that, until I know I have a place to come back to.  I am trying to hold onto what little faith I have, but so far no breakthroughs in that area either.  I'm just very scared, and more desperate with each passing day.  I so want to get out of this & get ahead, so as to be able to come back here & help others too...that would be my wish.  I still have my page/link up, not that it's working right and it's too late for my car now, but I'll leave it up in case there is someone out there who want's to/can donate anything even if it's $10 or $1 ...because regardless of what happens, I'm going to need $$$ now to stay afloat & get me by until something is figured out or comes along.  In the meantime, I'll keep praying & PLEASE keep praying for me.  Thanks.

*JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME MORE INSIGHT....I'VE BEEN THERE/HERE BEFORE....MY EX-HUBBY USE TO CHEAT ON ME, STAY OUT ALL NIGHT DANCING & SLEEPING WITH ANOTHER WOMEN, THEY'D MAKE LOVE & THEN HE'D COME GET IN BED WITH ME THE NEXT MORNING SMELLING LIKE PERFUME, ALCOHOL & SEX, I'D TRY TO KICK HIM OUT, BUT IT NEVER WORKED...HE TREATED ME HORRIBLE, SO I EVENTUALLY FILED FOR DIVORCE AND THIS STARTED MY SEVERE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS TO WHERE THERE HAS BEEN NO END.  I divorced in 2001, my mother passed away December 13th, 2001 (she was helping me financially), then I became ill with Viral Menengitus in April 2002, so that hurt my finances (& apparently my job), then I lost my job of 8 1/2 years without any warning & I was Employee of the Year in 01.  Then I went on to lose my car and my home...everything!  I had no Christmas in 2005...no food, nothing.   Needless to say, my mental/emotional & physical state deteriorated pretty quickly, to which I have never been the same since.  I had no choice but to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Nov 2005.  I struggled and made it through 2006 and just moved to Roanoke, VA to accept a new job and what I thought was going to be a great new start, only to turn into a nightmare!  And you know the rest aka the latest.
