Need Help!

I am new to this board and am in desperate need of advice and support. I moved with my husband to NYC this past summer for him to go to school. I was lucky and was able to keep my job and work from home. Unfortunately, the house we had hasn't sold yet and we have the rent to pay here as well. Between the moving cost, life being more expensive here, and 2 places to pay for and a busy job, I have felt isolated and lonely. I have been very depressed over this situation.

it sounds like you are burning the candle from both ends honey, sit back and take a few minutes for yourself to just relax and think....make a list if it helps, what can i do right now to lesson this load for me.....some suggestions: is your husband helping with any of these issues? is there anything you can do right now to change this situation, or is something that only time can solve, if this is the case then you have to think of other ways to deal with the problem at hand, i'm sure you are cutting corners, such as comparison shopping coupons, buy one get one free deals and extra are you and your husband both taking lunches and cutting back on eating out all together, i was surprised how much i could save their, and my cig. habit cost me tons too, is their anyway you could borrow money from a friend or a relative until the house sells, or if things are real tight maybe a personal loan that you can pay off as soon as the house sells? Good luck to you and your husband
