Emotional Intelligence Lead

Post Reply New Topic

I'm in my second year of college over a span of time and taking a full load, i am a single parent of 3 kids, divorced, and have acquired 2 new room-mates who can't really help me out financially as of yet.. both do not have cars and my vehicle just go repoed last night..

I'm doing ok with it (?)
however physiologically i am mentally impaired and times like this i want to curl up in my blanket and sleep.. i'm on an anti-depressant which i'm almost positive i forgot to take this morning...

My rant is this.. My heart is to be a counselor because i deeply care but..
(listen to the rest with utmost wisdom).. however I can't seem to hold on to much, intellectually, these days because of the stress..

I forget things that have had dire financial consequences and they say they've had no contact with me but they don't want contact they want $$$ which i hadn't had..

when i do have money i am not frivilous and take care of responsibilties its just few and far between as i have not had a job in a year and have relied heavily on studen aid..

My roommates help me out (babysitting and stuff, cooking) but i need financial relief..

I live in the hills in a small community and jobs are very scarce..

I'm at school right now and just dropped a class to alleviate some pressure yet i'm still at 12 units..

I can't concentrate on school work though because I just would rather sleep..
yet in class i am of benefit to my teachers
and students appreciate my input..
however my mind shuts down when i have a lot of stress..

and that's where i am at at this moment.. it's 10:42 my ride will be here at 3:oo in the afternoon and i have no classes and a lot of time to study..

the computer lab is freezing so i think i will go to the libraby across the street to thaw out..

aaaurgh

what say you?

i get that same feeling sometimes.
it just doesn't seem worth getting out of bed sometimes

This is not rocket science but you're not going to like my opinion. One of the financially noncontributing roommates will have to go. Whichever one helps you the least in terms of babysitting, cooking, housework.....or the one who has been there less time....flip a coin...whatever. Do either of them have an income? Apparently you need one of them to help out with the kids. As soon as possible, you need a roommate in there who can pay rent upon moving in, and is dependable for paying thereafter.
