What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

[Britt.f7]

@Cashew This is a plumber we know that my husband use to work with. So we trust him. We are living paycheck to paycheck right now and can't add another loan. Caught in a hard spot. And now my son's car is not working again. When it rains it pours. We will get through this. It just takes time. Thank you for your help.

Other idea, @Britt.f7: Do all the repairs have to be done in one piece / one time? Would it be possible to do multiple of them, as money comes, and fix 'only' what's most acute now?

Physically, I am really weak and exhausted making it a little more difficult to stay positive, but I am basically happy.

 

[Ronin]

We will get through this. It just takes time.

You absolutely will.

Keep that spirit up, you're brave, and it will work out.

Sorry to not be able to help more from here. Crossed fingers, well wishes, & thinking of you and yours, Britt.

@Britt.f7 There are certain low term interest loans with the bank that allow portions of the cost plus other incentives of the repairs to be deducted off your income taxes. It becomes cost effect if handled within the new tax laws which are already out for this year. Perhaps you might discuss it with a loan officer and an accountant as sometimes "friends" are not the best option as one needs the receipts or bills. Just a thought... I am sure you know this. ((((hugs)))

ps...the government has flood insurance that can be tacked on as well monthly and allows deductions for hardships of nature. Again please consider consulting an tax accountant.

Mixed-up and unsure, really unsure.

@Recovery4Me My aunt suggested calling the housing authority. On their website there were two sites that help with loans or cost and we might be able to qualify. I'm hoping we do. I left messages, now I am waiting to hear back.

We aren't in the flood zone, though we are near wetlands, so insurance didn't cover it. They do cover septic damage, so some of our items are covered(don't know how much) and they gave us a check for clean up that they themselves suggested we use towards repair.

Thank you for your suggestions! Between that and my son's car(he still lives with us) all I wanted to do today was sleep. I'm not. I'm hanging in there. Hopefully we will find solutions.

I feel in pain. Stupid monthly issues....

I'm an empath, too. It's exhausting and all my do-gooding has really caught up with me.


I also was taken advantage of repeatedly by family and friends when I was down. It's unspeakable, isn't it?

I've cut myself off from everyone but my partner right now. No risk is worth it.

I believe my horses kept me from FEELING the PTSD until they were stolen by my ex. They were my life and I think my brain just gave up in a way. :)

I can relate so much to your feelings.

Relieved after facing a battle with my nearly-useless wanna-be-doc nurse practitioner. I didn't back down and got some med changes.

Feeling a great sense of accomplishment. I found a place that is hiring and they took my name and phone number and tomorrow morning I will have to go early to fill out a job application. Trying not to get my hopes up. Also a potential seasonal job to be taken care of on Friday and am encouraged so much.

Feeling excited about seeing my family on Friday afternoon. I feel tired but good. This is going to be a very busy week for me and I am feeling such a sense of contentment in getting things done.

Feeling still a bit in pain...but I feel heard.
