A lot has hit me the past several weeks. My grandmother passed 3 weeks ago and I have been having trouble coping with life since. Losing her was really hard, and having to miss a week of school to attend her funeral is wreaking havoc on my life and it's starting to snowball. I know we're all having our share of money problems, but it is getting harder for me to not get upset when I think about how how I am going to pay the bills. We have 61 cents in our bank account right now and for the first time we could only pay half of our rent. The hubby got some bookings this week but there is no way to know when they won't be there agin and we're so behind. It's hard to fathom because we have been living on so little and it is finally starting to affect my school work, which is the one thing I have going for me right now. Sorry to bum you all out. I'm grasping onto this loss and hoping it will motivate me to workout, but I know that the only reason I've had a loss even is because I have been skipping dinner the past several days because there's no food to put on the table. I'm so glad that we don't have any kids yet.

LinnyS, WOW,You're going through a lot right now. Hopefully you'll be able to take care of yourself and not let everything snowball. If you get sick on top of all this, it'll just be that much harder. Do you have any family/friends around for support? Is hubby able to try part time work elsewhere for awhile? Do you have a local food bank or church/Synagogue that has food you could use. these are really hard times and I personally know many people who never would have taken advantage of these places, but, it's now down to survival. Maybe your school guidance counselor knows of some resources.I'm sure you've thought of all this and my heart goes out to you. Stay strong and don't ever be afraid to ask for the help you need.

You are going through a lot, and a loss of a family member and loss of financial well being is tough to swallow alone not to mention both at the same time. Food banks are awesome and there is no shame in asking for the help... that is what they are there for, for many years I worked in the food bank as a volunteer just so we could have food on the table. It is hard to be motivated to exercise when you just feel like curling up and hiding,, but use this to motivate you to push past it as your grandmother may have wanted you to do! do it for your grandmother if you can not think about doing it for yourself right now and it will soon turn into a possitive and you will feel better about yourself and life. you are in my prayers.
