Is there anyway I can put my life back together?

Question

I am on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. I have had a pay cut and my husband went from a guaranteed 59 hours a week to 35 hours a week. I am about to go into foreclosure, behind with all my creditors and feel like my heart is about to pop out of my chest. I use to be able to keep it all together and now all I want to do is curl up in my bed and ignore all the phone calls and everything. I can't even concentrate on what to do next or pay. I also have an appointment with an Oncologist next week to find out if I have some type of Luekemia because according to my blood work and the symptoms I've been having it's a possibility. Any suggestions on how to woMAN up? I feel like I am about to burst into tears but trying not too because I am at work. I use to be able to suck it up and see the positive side but it really sucks right now!

Answer 1

Let's look at this a different way..............The entire US market is in the slumps so you are in good company with lots and lots of other people.  Don't try to keep it all together......that is like holding your breath and trying to jog!  Look for the silver lining.....have you and your hubby ever wanted to try something new?different?adventurous?  Why not do it now.....you got nothing to lose....it is ONLY STUFF!!!!!!!!!  And all of the negativity and stress is creating a toxic environment in your body - you do do need lukemia....so straddle your husband in bed tonight and say honey let's go for it.  Let us get out of debt.  Let them take the house!

The other alternative is to stress yourself out so much that you can no longer enjoy living.

Take care.

one step at a time hon; if you haven't been in conversation with your mortgage company, you need to be; you need to sit down and contact all your creditors.....then that will be done and you will have a plan....there is a positive side, you will get through all this and be stronger for it and hopefully you won't ever let yourself get into that kind of debt again and you will have an emergency fund set up so if your hours get cut you can cover it.....
