Well, that’s a positive note in a pile o’crap. Hugely positive, in fact! Good luck to you, and I hope your wife’s stability improves.
Sorry the situation is so crappy, HeyHomie, but glad you both are getting the help you need. FWIW, many, many people hit a rough mental/emotional spot such as your wife has and been fine later, my brother among them. Sometimes it’s like a boil that just needs to be popped! After this, she will have more options with regard to dealing with emotions and stress. At least, that is the hope, so encourage whatever it takes to get her to deal with things, ok? Ditto the advice for yourself. My thoughts are with you both.
Nowhere to go but up from here. Sucks to land down in the muck though.
Sorry to hear about the job loss, suicide attempt/gesture, and living in someone else’s basement. I sincerely hope things get MUCH better from here on out for both of you.
I’m so sorry you are both going through this. I sincerely hope things begin to improve soon and you won’t be stuck in this horrible situation very long. Sending good thoughts to you both. {{{HUGS}}}
I think it’s understandable to completely lose it for a short time under those circumstances. 2 hours? Jeez.
Please do look into bankruptcy. As noted above, it can preserve the essential possessions (including your residence) and map out a reasonable future for you. It seriously impairs your credit rating, sure, but it sounds like you’re already in that situation, so no harm done.
Its so sad to hear your news.
I hope that things will look up in the future for both of you.
You seem to have a good attitude, don’t let the bastards beat you down !
Sending good thoughts your way.
Wishing you both well.
I’m not good at this, but I’m trying: Good wishes. No words, no insight, no joke.
I’m sorry.
Good luck.
UPDATE:
Mrs. Homie is out of the hospital and seems to be on the mend. Her mom loaned us [yet more] money to get us by. We are making follow-up appointments, looking at counselors, etc.
She has lined up a job, but I’m going to be looking for a while. We are no longer vagabonds and are back in our own [crumbling wreck of a] home.
Thanks for all the well wishes. A long road lies ahead, but every day is a new opportunity.
Thats good. All the best. I am sure it will get better.
HeyHomie-
Glad things are looking up a little - you’ve been through a lot! I’m sending you positive thoughts. Your story really struck a nerve with me (having been through a similar situation) and I wanted to echo some of the other posters and let you know that with time, effort and luck your situation will likely continue to improve. Keep the positive attitude and you’ll definitely get through it.
Glad to hear that she’s already lined up a job! That’s got to make her feel good (at least a little bit.) A job is a very tough thing to find these days.
And she was unemployed for what, 1 week? before someone snapped her up. I hope she continues to improve, and that the job works out.
Good luck to the both of you.
How wonderful to scroll down and read your update to this post. Having a new job lined up already must be doing wonders for your wife’s feelings of self-worth. All the best, Homie… we are all pulling for you!
Glad to see that things are going better for you folks. Hugs and blessings for things to get better. And do please keep us in the loop as to how things are going.
This is a time when a donation thread would be in order.
I appreciate the thought, but I’ve seen donation threads, and there are people a lot worse off than I am. Thanks though.
Thanks. I was not trying to be patronising, but it seems that you were/ are in a tight spot. I respect your decision that you can manage.
And, some of the folk who post here really do struggle. Makes me appreciate what I have.
My best wishes to you both.
