Title: Just a stupid rant... Post by Drk^Angel on Jul 29th, 2003, 9:57am I hope y'all don't mind, but I feel a need to rant... I haven't been doing too well for the past couple months. My headaches have been getting the better of me... Other health difficulties... My car and house is falling apart... etc, etc, etc... It just keeps building up. I've been trying to juggle all this as best as I could, but things just keep getting worse, and it just gets harder to keep everything together. You see... My headaches and shit have been seriously effecting my performance at werk, and if I can't maintain my quota, I could get fired. My only option around this has been FMLA, but I don't get paid when I take a day off. Go to werk, could get fired... Stay home, don't get paid... Sounds like fun 'eh? So the past couple of months I've missed days when things get really bad... i.e. Been up all night dancin' with the bastard and shit like that you know... Unfortunately, it just keeps adding up... And with the problems with my car and house causing unexpected expenses... I'm in deep shit. I haven't even been able to afford my meds for a while. Now I've hit the wall... How could I have been so fucking stupid?? My next paycheck won't be enough to pay the bills I need to pay with it, not to mention food and other necessities. Unless a miracle happens... I don't know. The final straw broke today when I was turned down for one of those short term, high interest, payday loans... Now what the fuck am I going to do?? Why did I let this shit happen? Does anyone know of anyplace that can help me? Any ideas? I'm not normally the type of person that would beg, but I'm really starting to rethink that... I just don't know what I'm going to do... I'm just so fucking stupid. Damn it... I just don't know what I'm going to do. Oh well... Thank you for listening. Sorry to dump this on y'all, but I needed to talk to someone, before I completely lost my mind. PFDAN................... Drk^Angel |

Title: Re: Just a stupid rant... Post by Donna on Jul 29th, 2003, 10:28am Sorry things have piled up like this on you......I have been thru this when newly divorced and trying to raise three small children by myself, with ch. So I know how frustrated you feel and how small and how hopeless. Try your Health and Family Services depts...Salvation Army and Goodwill for emergency cash, and check to find out if you have a local "helping hands" org. in your town. Good luck. Damn..it's so unfair that ch sufferers can't get a break of any kind..........jobs, insurance, docs who don't know what ch is, blah blah blah. So sick of this crap!!! |

Title: Re: Just a stupid rant... Post by Hound_Dogg on Jul 29th, 2003, 10:41am Drk...A lotta people are in the same boat. Living paycheck to paycheck. I know I'm livin paycheck to paycheck. Keepin my head above water, but one emergency could really mess that up. One thing I can help you with. Call the creditor's that are due. Let them know what's going on. Believe it or not, most of them are pretty understanding. Prioritize what's important. Gotta pay the food, electric, & mortgage/rent. Everything else can wait. Just don't forget to let all your creditors know that you can't pay right now & give them a realistic date as to when they can expect it. P.S. I have about 6-2packs of imitrex syringes that I may need you to hold for me. ;) ;). Let me know if you would be able to do this for me. Out of cycle & I don't have any room for them. Jim |

Title: Re: Just a stupid rant... Post by don on Jul 29th, 2003, 10:42am Your not begging. Your asking for help, no shame in that. The shame is in NOT asking for help when you need it. |

Title: Re: Just a stupid rant... Post by suzy617 on Jul 29th, 2003, 10:47am So sorry Drk for what your going thru. I wish I had the resources to make it all better for you. Please just hang in there. It always seems worse before it gets better. I would in the meantime call or go down to the Human Resources Center. You may be entitled to food stamps or help to pay your utilities. I wish I could offer more help. Suzy |

Title: Re: Just a stupid rant... Post by JDH on Jul 29th, 2003, 10:56am Don't know what to say except hang in there, it has to get better. Just remember, your a clusterhead and we can endure ANYTHING! For you to deal with the beast at a time like this just doesn't seem fair. Wish I could take some of those h/a's for a few days just so you could regroup, sounds like you need a break. Check your pm's. Good luck, Jim |

Title: Re: Just a stupid rant... Post by CathiP on Jul 29th, 2003, 11:38am Drk- Not a stupid rant.....tons of people are in the same sitch, and it is the pits......call your lender, cite medical issues...they should be much more willing to work with you, rather than take the house back- there are many who are in a redemption period, where the lender is able to work out a catch-up plan for you. As for house reapirs, head and work, seems that if you can get even one of the monkeys off your back the other things will likely ease up. Vibes and good jujus going out to you.....and an invitation for the beast to take a hike......damn him, once again. Please keep us posted, let us know how things are going. Rant away, Drk- or better yet, tell us as things improve. Cathi |

Post by aprilbee on Jul 29th, 2003, 3:18pm Drk, I just want to *bump* all of the other posts that have been written so far, can't say much more than what's already been said.

Title: Re: Just a stupid rant... Post by taraann on Jul 30th, 2003, 10:00am We had a really rough year last year.....and we went for emergency assistance at Health and Human services....had to jump through alot of hoops to get some help but we did. Just like DOnna said....Salvation Army, and local churches (you don't have to be a member) also can be helpful. Also if you have a community action program in your area they can also help with food (maybe cash I'm not sure). Another thing that helped us when one of our utilities were about to be shut off was the Town office....they can sometimes pay a bill for you. Hang in there and you'll get through this! |
