Beware of toxic relationships.

  I thought that after my last post I would start to feel better.  Truthfully, I pretty much flatlined-no better, no worse....that is, until today.  I wish I could promise this entry would have a positive spin, not just to the reader, but to myself.  Sadly, I disappoint yet again.   Today started off at around a 3, but quickly faded.  As of now it's at about a 0.5.  I'm barely holding on to my sanity with my fingernails, and don't really feel like trying anymore.  In my already fragile emotional state, someone who shall remain nameless decided to add a few more loads to the already overflowing pile of shit I'm buried beneath.  I'm suffocating, and I have no more fight in me.  I'm ready to just be consumed by it all and be done with it.  I'm tired of fighting a losing battle, and I can't help but wonder what the point is.  I'm expelling all this energy to live a life I can't stand.  I have no happiness, it always gets taken away or dampened by a

Let me just make this clear first: I don't wish to be wealthy. Some people do, and I don't judge, I'm just not one of them. I'm too much of a realist. Sure, I'd be glad if it happened, ( duh) but I try to stay grounded and wish for more attainable goals, like just being comfortable. Not even that-I just wish to be OK. I want to know that all my bills will get paid every month and nothing is being shut off. I want to be able to pay my rent on time every month and not be afraid to speak to my landlord for fear that he wants to evict me. I don't want to have to choose between these things and making sure my kids eat. Right now tho, nothing is "OK", and everything that I am afraid of is actually happening. Struggling is making me more and more bitter as each day passes, and I'm inadvertently resenting people who have it better than I do. I wonder what it's like to have that "OK" feeling, instead of a knot on your stomach and stress eatin
