Stressed & Depressed.

I’m 19 years old. Me and my fiancee have a baby due in September (unexpected not planned). We have everything that the baby needs, its room is FULL of everything (all new furnature, clothes, dipers, the whole 9 yards).

But, were not broke, but we are low on money… I am the only one working ATM due to my fiancee can not being late in her pregnancy now.

So, I decided to take action and apply for the RCMP which would give me full benifits and very very good salary. I passed every test over the past 6 months (and believe me, they are not easy at all). I passed my last test to be accepted, unfortunately, I didnt get accepted because the last time I used drugs was in early 2008 (apparently you need 2 years clean). So I wasted my last 6 or 7 months on this…

I had a lot riding on that, would of helped my upcoming family greatly. Now I don’t know what to do. Between paying for car insurance, bills, and now baby come September, I just don’t know what I can do. I’m only making a part-time pay of 12.50/hr (been working there almost 3 years) and getting full time hours (36-40), but that wont be enough to support my family’s life. I mean, eventually we need to get a house, etc.

Its stressing me out to the point where I don’t enjoy anything, work all the time, not get much sleep and its starting to take a toll on my health. I can’t go back to uni for 5 years, ill be in debt and my family will have no income during that time.

Any suggestions on how to get my feet back on the ground? Should I take a second job? I’m going to be in serious trouble if I don’t do something, worried everyday for what may happen if I don’t have enough to support my baby and family.

Thanks.
