Trying to stay afloat but I feel like I'm drowning. Just used the last of my money to buy medicine they put me on for depression and anxiety and for my ADD medicine I have always taken. Was in the ER twice last week and am trying to get through the financial aid application for the hospital. I applied for unemployment in the beginning of September and still have no response and for SNAP (food assistance) in beginning of October, still with no reply. Am having severe problems that require an OBGYN (not recovering from a ruptured ovarian cyst) but they keep having to move my appointment back week by week as they try to get me financial help to pay for my appointment. I am $600 short on rent for October 1st and am literally out of money. (I am overdrawn in the bank). I need to buy a book for school, but can't. I needed to use the food pantry for food and toilet paper. I have a car that has 4 old tires (literally at least 6 strangers have said my one tire looks really dangerous) and its leaking oil and power steering fluid (if not more), squeaks really loud, and occasionally dies while I am driving it (but so far it always restarts (knock on wood!!)). I have about a 1/4 tank of gas and then I will have no money for school (I take 2 classes) or job search. I think I may be starting new job soon and I should hopefully make $300-$500/week working full time but I am so behind on all my bills it will still take me months and months to try to get caught up on rent, cell phone, electricity, etc. and I need new eye glasses and other things like feminine products, etc. I also have a weird skin rash and some other medical issues I want resolved but can not afford an appointment or treatment. I am just so stressed out because I think I am going to lose my apartment and I don't know where i'll go or where I'll store my stuff. I am also really behind in school because I have been so sick lately and to make matters even worse I can't sleep at night because I am so stressed out. The new medicine seems to be helping A LITTLE but not much. I don't know how to do this and its so overwhelming.
