Sounds like you might need medication for both. Certainly the anxiety. Medication in combination with individual/group therapy could be beneficial to you.

You just need to rid yourself & your environment of all things bad, drama causing, & disruptive  ie.. mooching roommates, overly controlling, alcoholic, drug addict boyfriends & any other riff raff that might be around. You will eventually get better in a calm collected loving home.\n\ngood luck you need it

Are you serious? It looks like you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. Nobody hates their life so much without realizing they need help. What happened to you in your childhood?\nYou need help. Professional! Immediately!

Oh Kirk - you need to get out of there as soon as you can.  You deserve better.  There is help and support out there. No one has the right to treat you like that.  Are there any agencies you could contact ? And please contact your mom or another close relative or someone you feel you can trust.  I guess you much feel totally alone and scared and adults have not exactly been a source of trust for you.  Believe me you need to get out.  I wish I could help  I truly do.  I am in Scotland.  I am not surprised that you feel so bad about your life.  IT IS NOT your fault please believe that.  Contact someone and get yourself to safety.

I know this is boring but....SAVE IT!  Life is a rollercoaster, you never know when you will need that money. Or save half of it, if you just cant help yourself. Get some friends together and have a night out on the town, or a small party in your new place.

Your story breaks my heart, and the sad thing is, so many people across the country have a similar story. People today have not been properly taught to manage money. It's also pretty difficult since cost of living increases have risen exponentially and pay at most jobs has increased minimally if at all.\n\nCredit cards are a very dangerous thing. My best advice is to cut spending to a minimal. Cut out the things you don't need. Make out a monthly budget for you and your family and stick to it as best you can. Allow for emergency and a little for entertainment, but be careful about spending more than you need to.\n\nIt's OK to rely on family and friends for help. Ask people to babysit for you when you need them to. Have them help you look for a new, better job.\n\nIt's going to be an uphill battle, but you can do it. You have to for yourself and for your kids. Good luck. :-)

I know it may be hard, but think about the millions of people out there who have a much worse life than you.  You have a computer, and that's MUCH more than tons of people can say.  Suck it up and decide you're going to start over fresh.  This is the perfect opportunity to turn over a new leaf and change your life for the better!

First, stop spending more than you make.  In fact, you have to find a way to spend less than you make.\n\nSecond, take your smallest debt (credit card, car payment, etc.) and double the payments on it.\n\nThird, when that smallest debt is paid, take the doubled amount you have been paying on the smallest debt and apply that in addition to whatever minimum payment you have been making.  Work your way up until you have paid everything off.\n\nFourth, save enough money to throw a big party for your friends after you have paid off the last of your debt.\n\nFifth, continue to save money, even if it's only a little bit per paycheck, so you have something for emergencies when they come up so you don't have to go into debt again.\n\nOnce you do all this, you will have learned to live within your means and you won't have to worry about big debts that cause you to be depressed.  Short of this, there are no quick, easy ways to get out of debt.

Trust me, living on your own is not as great as it seems. I personally moved out when I turned 18, and it was very difficult. If circumstances are that you have to, consider going away to college, and living in a dorm (there are grants out there...), the military, or Job Corps. You do not want to move out without a steady job, and at least a few months living expenses in a savings account. The misery of being broke is far worse than dealing with parents (of course if abuse is involved you may want to seek a crisis center in your area for help.)

Find a support group.  Get to know your neighbors and other members of the community either online or personally on your free time.  Going through a crisis such as this is tough, but it can be made easier by having people to discuss matters with.  The thought of having a regular set of people to take your mind off the situation at home allows you to not wallow too much on a situation that you have no other choice but to deal with ... think "Desperate Housewives" ;)

I'm sorry to hear about your husband, but you seem to be doing all you can do right now with out killing yourself. I would suggest trying to borrow from a friend or family member. Sometimes we find that we have to sacrifice our most prized possesions in times of need, do you have anything you can sell worth value. I had too sell off my horses, that really hurt, but it was something we could live without.  Are you making payments on a car, if so you may want to try to work with refinancing or something to lower payments..  Good luck, things always work them selves out.. PHB

I found that KEEPING YOUR SELF BUSY doing ANYTHING  helped me out alot. That and being around friends and family, cuz itd be the  WORST when i was by myself cuz all i did was think and remember the way things USED to be, or id notice that EVERYTHING reminded me of that person in some stupid way....lol. But just know that things really do take time to get better....and the more time that passes by, the EASIER it gets. GOOD LUCK! :-)

I think that everyone at least once in their life falls on some bad luck. \n\nIf you really are in a jam and are feeling overwhelmed then I would suggest going to your local Social Services department to ask for help. If you qualify, they can point you to a number of programs that can help you manage the money you do have better and give you assistance. They even offer job training through other county and state agencies.\n\nYou can also consider contacting your local church or religious organization for help. They often can be of great assistance. I have even heard of them helping people make a mortgage or car payment if they are in dire need.

My dear, lighten up on yourself.  You are still young and not responsible for things that you could be.  Imagine yourself, strapped with children, working all day long, having to pay for groceries, rent, gasoline in your car and not making ends meet.  Would you consider that a better life?\n\nTake care of your young life now.  Get out there and explore the library, go to the movies with your friends, roller skate in the park.  These are the things that you should fill your life with right now.

I've gone through spells of depression that have lasted months.  The only thing that got me through was prayer and friendship.  I'm not one who goes to church every week nor do I talk continuously about my spirituality but I can say that when I have been struggling with dark thoughts I pray and talk to friends and somehow I get past it.  In your new city, make yourself get up early each morning and get fixed up.  When you get out of the house you will immediately feel a little bit better.  Look your best and that will help you to feel more confident.  Call on a friend from home, maybe a sibling or close family member when you feel your lowest.  One of my closest friends lives miles away and her friendship still gives me a great deal of support.  Just talk to someone and tell them the truth about what is going on inside.  It will be a great release and you will not be going through it alone.  Remember to pray for yourself, ask for courage and strength of heart..I promise that you will be better before you know it.

Call 911 and get help.  If you are so bad off that, you are doing those things to yourself, the odds of you pulling yourself out of it are quite remote, but the help out there for you these days is just awesome.  \n\nIf you are in a situation that you have no health benefits that will pay for this kind of medical care, go out and find a job that has them, even if it means taking a step back financially, in the long-run you will be much better off financially as well as mentally.\n\nJohn B.
