Yeah - I hear you. Money issues are the worst. They make you feel trapped, unhappy, and just remind you of all the things you did to start having money problem to begin with. Money problems are similar to alcohol, and often related. Once you are in trouble, it takes a long time and a lot of work to get out. BUT - you can get out.
I know it seems trite, but having a positive attitude will help so much. There is not going to be a quick fix, so ruminating over how hard everything is won't help you. Give your brain and soul a break by giving it a jolt of positive feeling. Do something for yourself that feels good, even if it is just to lie on the couch and think of nothing for a while.
Be kind to yourself. Smiles.
