Reply #73: Ramen... wow

[davidthegnome]

Brings back memories. Ten years ago I was living with my fiance and two kids and we practically survived on ramen for a year or more. Back then it was a dollar for a box of 12 packages. Cheap, filling, but damn do you get sick of it after a while.

Here I am now living with mom and dad and the best job I can find atm is working weekends washing dishes. Glad I had no pride to swallow when I moved back in.

As someone who also suffers with depression and anxiety disorder my advice is to hang on to that job if you can - any job is better than none... that's what I keep telling myself, at least. There's been a lot of good advice shared in this thread - I hope you have family or friends that can help out and offer you a place to stay if you need it. Don't give up, I know how hard it is to struggle by with next to nothing and I know what it's like to get an eviction notice. Things will get better in time... but no matter what happens, it's your attitude and your perspective that's going to keep you afloat. Do everything you can to stay positive and optimistic.

I'm so sorry for what you're struggling with.
