my anxiety goes up on payday

I may be the only one who experiences this. I get paid once a month. Trying to make my check stretch to pay everything that needs paid, makes me stressed.

I can't work yet, my weight is too much. I am working on that and I am very exited. I have a wonderful support system helping me to lose. I am taking a weight loss clinic sponsored through the local hospital. I am starting 2 supplements, alone with a healthy dinner, on Wednesday. I get weighed once a week at the hospital and take a half hour class. So yes, down the road, I hope to work part-time to help make a little more money.


Anyway, I may be the only person who struggles on payday, although, I am guessing there are lots of others. I try to use my skills but it's hard. Money is an integral part of everyday life so it's hard for me to stay calm.


Thanks for letting me vent.


I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

C.H.,

You are taking pro-active steps to better your situation all around...and for that you should feel very proud!

Things are tight right now, since you are only collecting disability, but that will change once you can work again, and things will be much more comfortable.

We all have times in our lives when times are tough...but laying out the plans that you have will ensure this is a temporary situation.

High fives!

S.C.
