Aa
I'm so stressed out.
My boyfriend and I live pay check to pay check basically and he's the only one working right now (I'm looking and applying like crazy) and he had to come home early one day because he was so sick. So his pay check is going to be small and I'm so stressed that we wont have enough for bills. And we have no one who can help us if we don't have enough for bills. Plus we need food for the house. It's becoming to much right now. And people keep telling me to just breath but its not helping. I know stress isn't good. But its hard to stay calm when I have bad anxiety and I don't take meds because of the baby. But I don't want to stress to much and can't help it. Ugh
Churches will give you free food just call and also if you have a salvation army you get a lot of food there. dont stress out it will get better i was in the same situation girl.
I'm not sure if there are any temp agencies around here but I will look it up. Thank all of you for being concerned and trying to help. I appreciate it so much.
I messaged you a link i found
Can you try a temp agency for work? I did that at the beginning of the year and was blessed with a great job that turned permanent. You can also try couponing to get food at a discount, that's what we do at my house.
I have Medicaid thank god. But I'm not sure if I can even take my meds while pregnant. But I'm going to look into it at my next appointment which isn't until Sept. 10th
I wonder does st cloud have something like Brevard. Its called Brevard cares, and its like the health departnent but so,much better and they even provide medication based on a sliding scale for income.
I don't take my medication because I haven't had insurance for years so the pound just kept coming even though I don't over eat and I get up and walk and clean everyday and I still gained a massive amount over the past 2 years and now that I'm pregnant the WIC nutritionist is just concerned I'll gain more weight even faster. So they only give me checks for fruit, skim milk, cheese, one dozen eggs, and juice. Which is great and I'm grateful for them but it doesn't help out much around the house for meals. And I know thy don't give much. So I'm not complaining about what they do give me.
That blows my mind. I'm considered "overweight" and have an under active thyroid..that doesnt affect my checks, that's rude and discriminating!
I can't use the pantry I used my 4 times a year on my mom. And I don't know about the churches. I hate asking for hand outs :/ I didn't even want to apply for food stamps or WIC
We don't have anything like that in my town where I can sell things from home.
What about food pantrys at churches?
I've been in a worst possition I was alone with two kids no one helping me out at times I would even consider selling my self of how desperate I was.. I coukdnt find work and I had to pay bills rent on my own but some how I got threw it. You will be fine and u will find a way..are u good at crafts things u can do at home and sell???
They should be giving u more now that u are pregnant. Go to wic. After baby is born apply for cash or I think u xan apply now.
I do get WIC and I get my checks on Tuesday. But since I'm over weight (I have a very under active thyroid) they don't give me checks for much. And I can't do cash assistance because they will go after my boyfriend for child support if I do. But we're together so that would be pointless :/ I'm kind of just hoping and praying we make it by this month some how.
Do you get WIC? What about cash assistance? Some times too they will help pay electric and everything.
I actually have food stamps (because I'm unemployed) and he makes $900 in a good month. But they don't give me much and its gone till next month. The food bank here lets you go 4 times a year. And I used all four helping my mom out. So I feel stuck..
Have you tried applying for state assistance ? Even getting foodstamps and wic will be a big help on bills. hang in there!
Also call a local food bank they can help with food. I agree apply for food stamps and wic. They really are a great help when you need them.
It's funny, your posts sound a lot like mine when I was pregnant with my first haha!
U should apply for food stamps. I kniw a lot of ppl bad mouth it but when u are in a crisis and u need to eat that helps a lot. I got it when I had no food and I was desperate and it helped soooo much. Theb I found a job amd I let it go... hope everything goes well. God bless.
I hate to be one of those people but don't stress. Money issues definitely are a short term thing and they'll get the better of you if you let them, in the grand scheme of things, this one small check will just be a small issue you have, don't worry mama! Everything will work itself out! Whenever I get bad anxiety (because I stress over bills too!) I think, I'm alive, my kids are live, we're all healthy, fed, have a roof.. the bills will be paid eventually!
