So... last week I posted that I feared I was falling back into the black hole we all know so well. Now I know I am.

I was getting ready for work... only 15 minutes from now I have to be there... couldnt find the brush and comb to do my hair... and lost it... I just lost it. Threw crap all over the place in the bathroom and now I am sitting here crying my eyes out wondering how I am going to go work like this!

I feel so trapped... thoughts (all negative) are racing through my head so bad I cant sleep. I feel like things are never going to get any better!

So... here;s where you ask, why arent you on meds? I realized that this was all happening last week, got the script but cant afford to buy the

Hi Deb;

Sorry to hijack the post but I wanted to ask you something?? When you wrote about the work thing I totally relate.. When I was working it was stressful because I had to deal with people so when the job was over I was sort of sad and glad at the same time. I cant really afford to retire (dont work now) but everytime I hear a work horror story I really dont want the hassles of it.. but I have no idea what else to do for money.. I have a small pension and a few assets and live with family and that is it..

I am so seriously thinking about retiring and not even looking for work like I do now.. maybe a small job in a movie theater and that would be it (lol).. Oh; by the way I am 58 and no one wants to hire me anyway but I just dont know how I can swing retirement.

Well, 58 is not really too old to look for a job, but I know that is easier to say than to do.

oh; I was in travel and I have a degree in recreation therapy which is worth not much now. So those jobs were very stressful..If I saw a recreation job I would go for it but the field is dead and you now need so much more schooling and I am not doing that now..

Anyway; I will most likely find a small job like you said movie theater or book store and no stress. sounds good.

Oh; I will most likely have about 1,500 a month in benefits if I get the opportunity to reach 62 (who knows).. and will have some retirement funds.. so I will be okay but who knows.. That would unfortunately mean living very frugal for more years. Ugghhhhhh!!!

it all depends on what could happen though.. Like if I meet a man (yeah right) or if I move from where I am I need more income or if my ex Husband dies I inherit a ton of money, or I die or whatever.. my situation is very different from most people. Like I live with
