life help: I don’t even know where to begin.

reversabledamag

I don’t even know where to begin.

Everything was fine up until a year ago and some how it all just dwindled away. I am no stranger to financial hard ship, I grew up in a single mother home as the second oldest of 6 kids. I am very much used to “running out of electric” as we would try to humerously put it. However, here I am. 22, a newly wed and pregnant. My husband works full time but still we some how can’t make ends meet. Thanks to rising fuel costs mostly, we are sinking and fast. We owe over 1,000.00 to our electric and gas company as well as other high amounts to other utility companies. Worst of all, our car died today and we have absolutely no money to fix it. I guess I just needed somewhere to vent out my frustrations before I went absolutely insane. When is life supposed to get easier - not easy - just easier. After 22 years of struggling when will the cards turn in my favor? How can I work my *** off and still be slammed to the ground over and over again? God helps those who helps themselves right? Apparently not. At what point do you just throw in the towel and live in bed? If I wasn’t trying to work and make things happen for myself I could get all the help in the world (social services) but because I’m actually trying to do something for myself, I can’t even so much as get a smile. I need help.

well first of all there’s no reason to blame god for all that. He gave you a husband, a child, a roof, a car (even tho it died) but my point is he gave you life. But that’s beside the point, what you need to do is keep pushing through all this and eventualy it will get better. Every 1 goes through hard times.

“God helps those who helps themselves right?” Ive heard that all my life. Its not in the Bible I guess people made it up just so they wouldn’t feel as bad about saying no to someone asking for help. You may have to file bankruptcy to get out Social Services just about wont do anything unless you are unemployed and have 10 kids with no fathers. Or are too old to work.
