Why is it when something goes wrong here at my house all hell breaks loose & everything goes wrong?? Am I hated?? Did I do something really bad that God is punishing me?? I wish to God that my life would just end I'm not sure if I can handle much more. I just want it to all end & leave me alone. Sorry, I just can't take much more.

yes life is tough and yes there are times when we would like to give up. But you can do this, you can make it, this is not too hard for you, God never gives us more than we can bear, even if we bear up under it kicking and screaming lol. I wish there were more platitudes I could write for you but when we are short on money I find it can be hard. My son's SSI person decided that his dad's income could be counted as ours (he has issues that prevent him from living with us on a regular basis and I insist on this for my son's protection)

anyhoo they reduced our check by $250/month and guess how much I was short on the rent this month? We were getting by (by the skin of our teeth) I do rebates (thanks Tammi!) and coupon and mystery shop for food and car care so this one really hurt, and then they wonder why people hate and fear the US government. I get the impression that the folks at SSI have a little bit of a God complex and I am sure they are not the only ones.

If you are really concerned for a child's welfare (and they accused me of JUST SITTING AROUND UNTIL HIS MONEY RAN OUT, ROFL) why not examine his home life? If they had they would have seen that I home school him and work hard besided, and no one sits around but I am guessing that they have some instructions to balance the budget on the backs of the poor and treat folks that are on SSI, medicaid and medicare like they are on welfare(after giving millions to rich people).

Sometimes I feel afraid, but most of the time I just worry, I get down but then I think this true thought: I have to do something positive, anything, just to change my mind sometimes, get me going, get my faith up again, to the point where I can pray. And then I pray for me, for my son, for all my friends here, and even the US government, because they are the folks that need prayer the most, the ones with the power that regularly abuse us, the ones without the power or the money. So I pray double hard for them LOL.

I sincerely hope you feel better soon and remember this last platitude : it's always darkest before the dawn especially if you are up worrying at 2, 3, or 4 AM. (If you're doing that, get some sleep, things will definitely look better after getting needed rest).

Try to remember, things WILL get better. You WILL persevere & you WILL become stronger for it. God doesn't punish people but He's there w/you every step of the way as you go thru both good & bad times. And Glennie's right, He doesn't give us more than we can handle.
I always keep in mind when the going gets rough for me & I'm feeling down - 1 day at a time, I know things WILL get better cuz there's only 1 way to go & that is up! :)
Know that there are many of us here for you so you are NOT alone; our arms are open for you & sending big (((HUGS))) your way. :)

ETA: And I totally agree w/Joy about trying to focus on the beauty & goodness in simple things. I oftentimes stand at one of my back windows in the early morning & just relish in the sunrise. It's awesome to see the sun rising on a foggy/hazy morning or setting in the evening's pink sky. And then I have my little dog who's full of piss & vinegar & keeps me in stitches at least once a day, watching the birds &/or the squirrels as they're filling their little bellies on my ratty old picnic table & chasing each other around.
And today I've been blessed by the neighboring farmer who let some of his Jersey yearlings out for some rip-roaring romping. They're nosey little buggers & have been standing up by the fence periodically as if having a debate on how to get thru it. LOL I'm hoping to snap some pics of them cuz they're cute, but also crazy as the dickens w/alot of energy to burn off, evidently. LOL
I know the above probably sounds silly & trivial when there are big things weighing so heavily on your heart & mind, but I've found that those silly & trivial things seem to have an amazing way of making those big things not seem quite so heavy.
Some things I also do to help clear/blank out my mind are mowing lawn, going for a drive or reading rag magazines. I crush cans or clean my bathroom if I'm angry or frustrated as it helps burn off that hot steam, & when I need a reminder of staying grounded & appreciative for all the wonderful & important yet simple things in my life, I have my volunteer work at the nursing home. The residents are always SO grateful to have help & are tickled pink to win a mere banana or bag of chips at Bingo. Little do they realize just how much they help me! :)

Just try to tackle 1 problem at a time, and each one that you resolve will make you feel better, and better enable you to deal with the next. Try to prioritize and deal with THE most important issue first, so that the others won't seem as bad then. If your problems require help that is beyond your control, PRAY and lean on your friends (like us) for hope and inspiration. Without knowing what situations you are trying to deal with, all I can say is CHIN UP, there are bound to be better days ahead.

Love & HUGS

So don't worry if I don't post or come around for awhile. I just have some very hard issues that I have to deal with & not sure how I'm going to do this or how it's going to end or what's going to happen. It's just to much right now with being sick with stomach virus for almost 2 weeks, it just wore me down & knocked the breath out of me. It's going to take me some time & it's a long way up this ladder. I know I will make it, but things just keep knocking me back down more steps than I've made it up, so it's just wearing me out. I didn't need to make anyone worry, I just had to scream & his was the only way that I knew. Thank you.

I am scared to say it can't get any worse: yesterday I got a letter from this SSI guy and he says I have to pay back $3,0000 since they paid too much to Dashi last year? HUH? I was STUNNED, and then I realized they say it's so and that makes it true...never mind that we were already living hand to mouth, what do they care if we end up homeless? I prayed for that man that he experience exactly the worries, fears, and exhaustion that I feel, the same sense of hopelessness and that no one cares. And then I prayed it again. I know it's not nice but it was all I could do, to help him begin to understand the consequences of his actions... to begin to understand that just because he has the power to hurt people doesn't mean that he should. I prayed for him to reach true humility. God help us all, amen. 25|1|I'm sorry, Donna. Will keep you in my prayers|Mackiesmudder|Mackiesmudder@aol.com|15:33:27|07/24/2010|

You really need to find someone to talk to though. I have been having a rough year myself and find that I feel much better after talking with someone. I also try to look at others and see that my problems though HUGE to me aren't really as big as some that others are experiencing. I know that sounds easier said than done but it does work at least temporarily.
Just keep your head up and know that someone in this world does love and care for you and your well being. Surround yourself with friends even when you feel like hiding from the all. Take time to relax and be sure to get enough sleep and ALWAYS, ALWAYS remember to PRAY!!!!
