So I find out that the finances are out of control. DH had been telling me everything was fine. Uh, NO. My car was scheduled for REPO because he had not paid the bill in 3 months. The HOUSE is 2 months behind, his car is 3 months behind (I didn't call them so no clue if they're moving towards repo on his car), the Cable bill is 3 months behind (will be cut off next week if its not paid) AND the Electricity was cut off today! I had to skip school and drive 45 min to pay in cash to have the Electric turned back on- this led to me going through the bills and making calls to try to prevent loosing the car / house.
So I get home from making the payment and all the phone calls (on the cellphone since the house phone was disconnected today too surprise!) and there is a screatching alarm going off in the house and no clue how to turn it off. Luckily, when the Electric was turned back on the stupid screetching alarm went off.
I was 4 days late on my AF, which then of course had to start today when I got home.
Ugh, so stressed out.

I would call that VERY stressful. Maybe you should be in charge of the money and paying the bills now. Tell dh to hand over his check to you. You can't live like this and I know you want a baby too. Stability is needed for your security and for a new child. I hope it all gets straight.

I haven't been here long so excuse my questions/ignorance...."xyro" who has bp, you or your H? Sorry, but sounds like your H is losing it. JMHO. I agree with "a-new-me", I think you need to take over the finances, get direct deposit (if you don't already) and have the check come straight to you. Or do you work? Like I said, kinda new here so don't know your whole story....anyway, {{{{{hugs}}}}} and indulge in whatever your favorite method of stress relief is....you deserve it tonight.
{{{{{hugs}}}}} again,

No wonder you are stressed out!! I would be too. I think I would "kill" my DH for doing something like that! (not really) I hope everything gets straightened out.

Many P&PT's to you during this uncertain time. I hope it all works out in the end.

I hope you get everything worked out with a minimum of difficulty--I KNOW finances can really stress you out to the breaking point very quickly.
Hey, and thanks. That screaching noise was unbareable! A PP asked who is BP- supposedly I am, according to the Nurse Practitioner. I haven't seen a Pdoc or a Tdoc. I'm really calm, even in very stressful situations. I do get frustrated, like Thursday when all that happened that day. It was horrible. My indulgence was to have a cookiesncream milk shake after dinner.
I don't have rages or serious issues anymore, but I use to long time ago before I started taking Lexapro years ago.
I've pretty much decided to take over making sure the bills are paid every month. I'm not working right now, which in combo with the lexapro seriously cut down on the stress. I don't do well with stress- I have physical reactions. I ended up on the floor laying on a heating pad on my back/neck with a cold cloth on my head because I had such severe pain and a migraine level headache after the stress.
My DH is a wonderful man, he is just obsessed with this computer game, Everquest. 24/7/365 Its like his world. But, he works a hard job and playing every minute that he is home makes him happy. /shrug
I wanted to have a baby, I was 4 days late on AF, but nada. I'm going back to school for Medical Transcription so I can work from home. I had a well paying job in social work and was going to school for a Masters Degree in Psychotherapy, but the stress was overwhelming me and I dropped out of the Masters program then after miscarriage I quit my job. I'm hoping to make it w out getting a job until July when I'm out of this little program for Medical Transcription. Then I can work full time from home and bring in a little extra money to the household. It won't pay near what my salary was...but it will be an income that I will be able to do, and keep doing, from home- without the burn out and stress that comes from social work and counseling. I was only a year away from doing the internship and taking the licensure exam to become a Licensed Professional Counselor aka tdoc.
My main issues are Hypersomnia, depression, then hypomania. I'll work and be the very best at what I do, but then I get stressed, hit depression, and struggle. bleh.
Anyways I am getting it straightened out. I'm just SO GLAD that I openned the mail and started checking out the bills! If I hadn't, everything would have fallen apart by the end of the week- I mean like car repo level fall apart.
