Is this the destruction of my life or a new beginning?
In the past week:
-took a leave from grad school (cost me $25k to $50k for tuition not used); plus possibly undergrad school have to pay back all the grants and loans for this semester; total loss could be $75000 for this decision.
-my undergraduate degree depends upon the successful completion of my thesis which I cannot do - I wrote 1 and 3/4 pages since December. It is now February.
-lost my health insurance (just today)
-just quit my job - this week - cannot get myself to go there
- just received shut off notices from gas and water companies
- my furnace is dying; it's 5 degrees outside and my furnace only heats the house to 57 degrees
-Mortage payment just went up by another $200 a month and have to sell house; demand for escrows of $1700 due March 1st plus mortage paymetn
-the engine in my car is leaking oil and the exhaust is fallng off; now the hood openor broke and I can't close it or I can't get inside to fill with oil every other dayMy mind and body are both falling apart.
I have done this so many times, started over. I don't think I can do this again.
