Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
unfourtunately there is really nothing you can do but ride it out. you are doing something extrordinary though, and not many would be able to hold out so well. realize that what you are doing is an amazing feat and you are a very good person for helping out so much

Dude,
First of all I commend you on your willingness to help out! You definately have a lot on your shoulders at the moment. Remember though, your not going to be much help if you run yourself ragged. I hope you still have time to enjoy things you like doing ... cars, friends, sports, what have you. It's important, as when you do something for yourself, it gives you the energy to help others in a way that's productive. It seems to me your doing all that you can. It might be tight on the budget for a while, but events do turn around and once your mom gets through the courses things definately should get better. If things are really desparate though, I'd talk to someone with authority to help you two out.
It may seem dumb and stupid, but I'd sit down with your mom, discuss the income your bringing in and alocate your money where it's needed most first and with what you have left over go through with what you'd like to do with it .. save it, go out for dinner ... (like I said, you do have to treat yourself, especially in these hard times ...)
Hey by the way ... congratulations on graduating early!
If the situation is worse than I've helped you with, please don't hesitate to e-mail me at aly_boschee@yahoo.com ... I'd be more than happy to research some more ideas for you guys.
Happy Wednesday and please take care,
Alyssa

Well, the good news is that if you hang on a few months while she takes classes, then thing will get better. People can live on beans and rice. It isn't fun, but it can be done. As long as you are paying on the bills, they cannot doing anything. It takes several months for certain things to be repossessed or any action taken on them. Just keep plugging away knowing you are a credit to your mom by helping her out.
Just take a few minutes for yourself every once in a while. Take a breath. Read an article. Take a walk. A few precious minutes can make all the difference in the world.

Congradulations on finishing school early!!!And i think its great that your helping your mom. i guess you got a crash course in what its like to owe bills and rent. i dont think this is a bad thing at all. yes its tiring...we are ALL tired. the only thing i can suggest is just put your shoulder to the wheel and keep on keeping on. if you can just hang in there a little while longer...your mom can complete her training and things will start to get back to normal.
but its excellant that you got a taste first hand of what your mom has been doing for years. its not easy. there are days we wanna stay in bed and pull the covers up ---jobs be damned.
but then you just hit the snooze and grab five more minutes before you get up and do it all over again. once you actually get moving its not that bad...not really.
i bet your mom appreciates your help alot too....your a good kid. your making your mother proud.
hang in there
