Does anyone else feel a bit lost or is it just me?
I feel like I’m really struggling today. I feel aggravated but I’m not sure if I can actually pin point it because I feel like there’s so much that I’m not sure what it is or if it’s just everything getting on top of me.
1. Stressed about money
My partner and I have been living in our overdrafts for the best part of 18 months. It’s draining and I’m trying to get out of the situation but come the weekends we like to do stuff with our daughter. I feel like a bad mom constantly taking her to the park and I feel so brain dead constantly doing the same stuff so I’m trying to do other things for us all.
2. We moved further away so I feel distant from all my friends. They see each other all the time and I’m not a part of it anymore. Now they’re organising something for mine and x2 others of our birthdays and I’ve got anxiety and am leaning towards not wanting to go for the fear of not feeling like I belong.
3. I have no hobbies, I work from home and can’t do anything else because I have no money and feel like I’m in a viscous circle of not being able to do anything.
I buy my daughter everything I can and so I’d go without. I can’t apply to any government schemes because my partner and I earn a good wage.
Sorry to rant but I think I fed up of not being able to do what I want to do for my family. Feel like I’m working to live in my overdraft and feel like I’m constantly just say indoors by myself with nothing to do besides watch tv
Budgeting will do wonders for your mental health! There’s rarely a need to live above your needs, you need to sit down and face your finances and figure out how to truly make it work for you all. 🫶🏾
