I'm so tired

[Mobius]

I work 40 hours a week, I play an online game so I can sell game currency to make a little extra to make ends meet.
It used to be fun to play it, not it is more like I work 80 hours a week.
My rent is still 2 weeks late, my cell just got cut off, and I am sitting here hungry.
I know I am not the only one going hungry.
On top of it all my wages are being garnished at a rate of 20% which would about pay my rent.
I accumulated some debt a few years ago, after a catastrophic leg injury.
I am not a bod person, I am not a greedy or lazy person.
I am treading water and don't know how to swim that well.
I don't want a handout, I just wish life would cut me a little slack.

2. you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I feel for you, and sort of understand what you are going through. I also work 40 hours a week, at a low-paying job -- and sometimes it's hard to make ends meet. Right now I am fine, but there have been times in the past where I literally had no money in the bank. It's no fun. :hug: for you and hope your situation improves.

3. !

:hug: Try to hang in there. I hope life cuts you a little slack soon. Do you have family or friends that can help out or at least give you some food?

[Mobius]

4. Yeah,

I asked my dad for a loan for the first time in like 8 years and feel like a failure getting money from daddy.

5. You shouldn't feel like a failure for asking your dad for a loan. I am sure he was more than happy

to give you a loan. You are working and trying to pull your own weight and that isn't failure. We all go through tough times and need help. :hug:
