Not Much To Say

We’re at a crossroads right now and who knows what is going to happen next. I have hopes still that things will get better somehow but I still have a nagging fear that things are only beginning to crumble. Being one of the fallouts from this financial crisis it puts you in a very dangerous headspace.

Oddly the toughest thing, like other huge obstacles we come across in life like divorce or having children, is that anyone who isn’t in this place right now can’t have a clue what it’s like. We are lucky though, I know we will never end up on the street. Don’t get me wrong, having to move in with one of our parents would be devestating and miserable but we won’t end up on the street.

I can’t help but be really negative lately and get really frustrated when people complain costantly about pithy fucking things. It’s not fair really, everyone’s life is different and they have a right to bitch about whatever they want, I just know it’s something I personally can’t stomach. I’ve had to hide a few people on Facebook because it just became too much keeping my opinions to myself.

But I am trying to not become a sourpuss who only brings misery to the party. I’m trying but it’s really hard to put on a smile sometimes.

    Hang in there. I’ve been unemployed. It’s scary but you’ll make it.

    Thanks, I haven’t been unemployed in like 7 years or something. Manly Man is going on 2 years by xmas, which is horrifying to even think about.

    I’m sorry. I don’t have much to add because I haven’t experienced it, but I’m sorry.

    My hubby has been downsized- twice. In five years time. It sucks and I get what you are going through. It’s scary and nerve racking and all kinds of bad stuff wrapped in a not so pretty bow. I have spent the better part of the last five years being so angry at what has happened and it takes its toll.. it really takes a toll on everything. It’s like a cancer in your life. It seeps its way into every nock and cranny.
    And what is REALLY annoying is when others “think” they have it as bad as you when they really don’t. I have this person in my life and her husband took a $25,000 pay cut. She is on month three of living with her new budget and IT IS ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT! Talks about how poor she is, can’t buy her husband anything for Christmas and blah, blah, blah… I’m like, “Yeah, come talk to me when you are on year two of living that way and then we can talk about how much it sucks ass.” As you can tell, I’m still very bitter.
