    Can you get a job at fast food or retail? Anything that can allow you to buy a small studio apartment of your own so you can have your space and sanity. Take the cats with you too when you get the studio apartment.



    This is an economic collapse in this country and we have to rely on family, take menial work, do what ever it takes to survive. I have a bachelor's degree and all I can get is minimum wage, no skilled labor type of jobs. But I take them to survive.......

    Update? How are things two months later? I like to say that you can stand on your head for quite awhile if you know that it's not forever. No matter how bad things are at the moment, you always have choices, good choices that can help pull you out of the darkness. But you gotta have a plan with tangible, achievable goals.



    When I decided that I needed to end my marriage I knew I had to wait until my youngest son was 18 and I was working enough to support myself. I made that goal almost 10 years ago. I have one year left, and I accomplished several things to help me when the time comes. I got my grade 12 equivalent diploma (at the age of 47) which I needed to get a decent job, which I now have.



    The coming year will be very difficult, but I will get through it because I have been visualizing my success, and I'm carrying out the plans to achieve the goal. I'm almost there.



    Tendereyes is right; instead of being overwhelmed by everything, try to determine which is the first task you need to accomplish. Prioritize and then focus on that one thing until it's done. If you do it right, each task will make the next one easier. Best of luck.
