So, that was my background story. Now what am I doing to get myself out of this mess?
1. Budgeting my unemployment monies VERY carefully. Now that I have moved, I can make ends meet with the unemployment, but only barely.
2. Continuing to search for work. I am looking all over the state for professional work and am searching locally for a part time job to suppliment my unemployment.
3. Focusing on studying for my licensure exam. I still need to get more hours for my license, but can get the test done soon.
4. I decided today that I am going to join the YMCA, since they offer scholarships. I can have a physical outlet for the stress and anxiety.
5. Reaching out to friends. I need support right now. So I am allowing friends to help me...to be there to talk to, to give me a hug and let me cry, to be my sounding board, etc. Friends will get me through this.
6. Dealing with the changes...buckling down and trying to stay positive. I am accepting the present....for I can not change my circumstances. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. That saying has never rung so true for me.
