When everything seems to crumble around you

Tweet

How do you deal with it. I am so frustrated and honestly more than a little depressed. It seems like everything around me is falling to pieces, and always just after I start to have a glimmer of hope that things are going to get better this seems to happen. I have a family of 6 and we were living in a nice cute house then fuel started rising and Wal-mart prematurely canceled their contract with the company my old man worked for and he and 16 other guys were laid off. Needless to say we lost our house and had to move into a really small ghetto apartment. Since we have been here my husband has been jumped right in front of our apartment in front of our kids and to top it off it never gets cooler then 87* in the house and its infested with bugs. The kids' dad did find another job and I am trying my best to make some money online to help but we seem to be falling behind anyways it is all we can do to feed everyone and afford gas to get back and forth to work. I know it sometimes seems petty but all this coming down at once has me not wanting to get out of bed most mornings. My youngest is only 9 months so she needs me to not be wallowing in self pity. How do you guys handle this kind of stuff?
