August 19, 2008 4:56pm
The trip was just what I needed. Being out, around people and constantly busy helps temper the saddness.
I ended up stuck at the airport …

About Me
Attitude is everything. I try to keep it positive, even though I'm not always successful. The longest journey begins with the first step. I try to do today what will make my life better tomorrow.
Interests
First and foremost getting a job before I go totally broke (anyone in the Tampa Bay area who needs a finance/accounting person, or an elementary school teacher, contact me).Gardening, working out, reading, current events, listening to the waves at the beach, warm sun and cool breezes. And I love my four dogs: Hogan, Sammie, Betty and Naomi

Close Caregivers
My husband had a stroke almost a year ago, a few days later, I was informed my job was ending because of federal funding. I'm having trouble doing and being everything, but I have to go back to work, as we're facing bankruptcy. We've gone through almost all of our assets this year. We used to have a nice life and I feel like everything has been dumped on me. I brought my husband home from the nursing home in December, and it's been quite a challenge.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionAlmost a year ago my husband had a stroke and shortly thereafter my job was eliminated due to federal funds. This has cost us almost all our savings and I'm having to deal with bankruptcy and impeding foreclosure myself, as well as trying to be a caregiver and looking for a job. I was prescribed Lexipro and feel better with it than without it, but many days, I feel numb, like I don't even know where to begin.
Open Financial Challenges
My life is a mess, since my husband had a stroke almost a year ago and my job was eliminated because of federal funding. We've gone through almost all our savings and are facing bankruptcy and foreclosure. I'm looking desperately for a job, but I've also been his caregiver. I'm really scared to death. My husband is disabled now and I have to handle all of this myself.
Open Career Changes
I have BAs in finance & accounting and after being in and out (raising kids, etc.), I decided to get my M.A. in elementary education. To make a long story short, my teaching job was eliminated due to budget cuts and there are just no jobs in teaching where I live. My husband had a stroke and I desperately need a job. Now trying to get back into finance and accounting is so competitive, I feel as if I'm getting nowhere.
Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
In Florida abuse of pain meds- oxys & roxys is epidemic. My son has been n abusing and stealing from me to buy the drugs. He has been seeing a doctor and has a prescription for suboxone, which eliminates withdrawal and makes it so he can't use the drugs without getting extremely ill. We've been through this before. What happens after suboxone? He's 21 been a substance abuser since he was 15. I'm afraid to kick him out cause he'll end up with other addicts, dead or in jail. Help!
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ChildMy heart is broken, my 21 year old son died today from injuries sustained in an accident where a drunk driver hit him as a pedestrian.
