Please hang in there. I have been in your position many times where I have felt that everything was crumbling down around me and nothing could get worse. It sounds trite, but the best thing you can do right now is to take care of YOURSELF and let everything else work itself out. Just do what you can right now to make yourself feel better. The problems will be there later when you feel better. Do what you need to do to soothe your soul.

I know you have to deal with the dog and the laundry, but sometimes I have found when I am at my lowest and I just let go and ask for help, amazing things can happen. Do what you can to feel better now and you will deal with the other things when you have more strength. You don't have to do it all alone. Reach out for help - family, friends, social services, etc.

I have always found that when I was at the end of my rope, it was because I was trying to solve all my problems alone from a very dark place. Is there a good friend or family member you can call? Do you have health insurance? Can you see a therapist or social worker? Any support is better than trying to figure it all out by yourself. I am a very independent person, so it's hard for me to reach out, but when I do, things always get better. I wish you the best of luck with everything.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
