This is a really tough situation. And it isn't easy going to school when the bills keep piling up. This is only my second post on DU, but I had to add my few words to the support which I hope is helping you. Feeling such extreme stress is so difficult, so exhausting, and I hope better days are ahead for you. When it comes to the economy, I think the media focus pretty exclusively on Wall Street, so they get --and present-- a very distorted picture. Please don't give up. Wishing the best for you...

I wish for that too. I'm 54 and have maybe 4 or 5 years where I wasn't worried all the time.

I do not miss it one bit. I can no longer allow someone to abuse me because they 'love' me.
