I am a 24 yr old single mom of a 4 yr old. I am in school full time, 9 hrs a day. I commute on transit for 3 hours a day with daycare, school, etc. I am in debt, can't find cheaper housing, and am scraping by- barely. I reuse items, only buy on sale items, cut out dining out, no nights out with the girl, have been selling old clothes, toys, etc on ebay to make some cash... I am behind 2 months on rent because my student loan hasnt come yet (6 weeks late). I am about to be evicted. I am really stressed out, and I find myself hysterically crying all the time over silly things. I cry myself to sleep every night, I worry constantly... my appetite is gone, and I just want to lay in bed and sleep all day.
I was once on antidepressants, but don't want to go that route again. I just so badly want to be a good mother to my son, and to get back on track financially. I make sure my kid has nice clothes, eats very well, goes to swim lessons. but I am barely keeping up. I'm depressed. Any advice?
