silent scream

Only 7 weeks pregnant and I feel like I'm loosing my mind. My husband lost his job two weeks ago and has yet to find work. We was living paycheck to paycheck as is now we are way worse. We already have a two year old daughter and trying to figure out how to make easter happen for her on top of bills. My point is that I'm under so much stress and pressure these days. Which I know isn't a good thing for the baby. How am I supposed to manage and stay cool when all I want to do is scream and find a happy place? How can I stay cool during a time like this?

Go to a church early, Sunday school will supply a fun time for her. Easter fun is fun for kids & the church, even if you don't go on a regular will supply it for her. So don't worry about that. Financially, don't worry about that either. Use your computer to get free baby supplies. In due time everything will work out. The great thing about living in America is we have so many resources, that stressing/or giving your baby away should never be an option. You can even work from as a virtual call center. I used to work for Live Ops, I just had to pay $50 for my background check. Best time to work is overnight. Don't worry you'll be OK. Contact your local legislative office they can point you in the right direction. Check out St.Vincent DE Paul. Check out free cycle. Com, offer up. Com, Craigslist-free section. Let go & let God worry 4 you. Your daughter has a new lifelong best friend on the way. Just stay healthy & research. I don't know where you live, but Google free baby charitable donations. Don't let pride get to you. We all need help 1x in our life. Either from strangers our support system. You'll be glad you researched & not stress.

Don't think about the money, I know that's easier said than done but when you clear the financial part of your stress for a little while you'll only have your family left to focus on and that's what's important. I'm also a paycheck to paycheck person, my lease ran out in February, luckily my landlord is letting us do month to month until we find a place. I have a 9 month old, 10 wks along with my second and crammed in to 700 sq ft condo we out grew months ago. My bf is a seasonal worker been laid off since December going back in April but only making $10/hr. Take a deep breath, and leave the money issue at the door for a bit. Hopefully that will make u feel better! Good luck and congrats!
