    I'm just whining - feeling like I'm at my breaking point

    I don't feel like you're whining. These are very real, very hard things and a lot going on at the same time. Stop apologizing and just lean on your friends or us here for a bit. I understand financial stress and strain and that takes a huge toll on everything. I don't know how much debt you...
