Hello I'm new to this

[Kathleen76]

I am 41 yrs old & have been struggling with depression & anxiety since my early teens. I often feel depressed & pull myself out of it, but the financial depression is very difficult, I am constantly worrying about utility bills, having enough money for food & losing my house. I am a hard working single mom of 4 & I have been working for my employer for 20 years, just can't make ends meet & it causes me alot of anxiety and depression is anyone experiencing a similar situation?

Well I'm 48, been struggling with anxiety (and now depression) since my late teens, at my job for 22 years, but my daughter is grown. She's not doing great, she's mostly independent but I need to help her at odd times and she has my granddaughter. Not very often but I so wish I could do more like my mother helped me financially. I worry so much about bills. I use credit cards back and forth to pay bills and worry about which ones I will pay when to balance out my bills. So yes, I hear you. It seems like after we've been so dedicated for so long at one employer we should be set. I work for a nonprofit so maybe I asked for it. Extremely stressful. Not to be weird but this part doesn't seem like a disorder, this seems like hey, I should be worried? But it sure gets my nerves going.
