Miserable...
My strong points are less often then my weak points.
I'm stuck in the house almost 24 hours a day, I have not been anywhere but walmart in 3 weeks. I'm going crazy.
I'm trying to find a job, and it's not been easy. My car still is not safely running, I have no idea whats wrong with it, and no money to fix it.
At this point I don't know when things are going to get better and most often, it doesn't seem as if they will.
I want so badly to be happy, have a job,have a car, and to be over h, and it just isn't happening.
Somedays I just really don't want to do all of this anymore, I want to escape my own life.
The only thing at this point that keeps me going is dd, I love her, I want to be the best mom that I can be. How can I be a good mom when I'm not even in a spot to be able to put a roof over her head, and have to depend on everyone?
I really just don't know what to do anymore. Each day feels like 20 days slowly creeping by.

Re: Miserable...
Sometimes you have to start low to aim high. Maybe try finding a job as a cashier or something... they are always looking for people to check people out in lines. The pay isn't horrible, but it's something. In the mean time, you will have some type of income... and you can always keep job hunting.
ETA: I'm sorry you are feeling so low right now, but you just have to look at things on the brightside... it can't get much worse than it already is and eventually things will get better! Keep your head held high.
It will all work out Mama! I'm sorry you're having such a hard time...but I want to remind you what an amazingly strong woman and mother you are. It can be hard to feel stuck in a rut, but do what you can to add the spice (cook a yummy dinner...make up a new game for you and LO to play) and remember that you are magic, amazing and awesome!!!
It's so hard and cliche to remember, but this too shall pass. And though it seems forever away, we will all look back at these days as the days that took us from good to amazing. It's hard when we are being molded, but my oh my what a beautiful finished product you will make! Hang in there Mama you are doing a beautiful job!!!!
It is true that they say things like this make us stronger. You can do it! You're a wonderful mother and I'm sure LO wouldn't want things any other way. I've been pretty down recently too but I always remember to only fix the things I can... and when to realize that I can't fix something and just accept it.
On the bright side, some mothers wish they could spend all the time in the world with their LO and here, you're able to spend all your time with DD! I lost my job and I can't even look until after DD is born and it is completely frustrating relying on everyone else BUT I'm a lot less stressed out and focusing on being prepared and rested before she gets here... I believe everything happens for a reason -
) it will get better, promise! Take it slow and if you need to vent or cry you're welcome to PM me, they all come to my phone so I'll get it immediately.
If you get online and type in cheap things to do with your kid(s) a WHOLE bunch of stuff shows up. Just taking a stroll outside gets you and your daughter out the house. They have games online that you can do with your kids that only take around the house items! If anything...live for you daughter...!
