Stressed to the MAX!!

I am 3 months out of surgery and in the last month my husband lost his job that had our insurance.  Thankfully we qualified for medicaid on my income.   I applied for food stamps and our family of 4 based on my income would get 12!! dollars a month.  He has applied for unemployment and is has been 3 weeks with no decision yet.   Monday I took my mother for a lung biopsy and we got the results came back today as cancer.   I am so beyond stressed and desperatly want to eat my way thought every comfort food chased with a bottle of wine.  Obviously I can't do that anymore so now what do I do?  I am spending as much time as I can at the barn with my horse and exercising but I just feel like my life is out of control!  I guess I just needed to vent to someone who would understand. :-/

I am so sorry you are having a hard time.  Stress is an awful feeling.  I will pray for you(and your mom).  Remember, "all storm clouds WILL pass".

I'm so sorry.  That is a horrible month!! And you know there are still a lot of hurdles to jump!!  You can do this! We are here to listen and help! Staying on plan will help you have the energy to deal with all of this.  It's very hard to learn new ways of dealing with your stress -- I like yoga or meditation.... or sometimes even screaming into a sofa cushion!!   Whatever works.   Good Luck.  I'll keep you in my prayers.

So sorry for all of your troubles.  The good news is your needs are small in the eating part of the budget.  You know when we feel at the bottom of the well, the only way left is up.  My son always says ever forward for his son- so everforward for you andyour  family.
