What I wish that people knew what's going on behind my closed doors...

Warning. If you don't wish to hear anger, disappointment, a pity party, and down-right anger, stop reading now.

I am so sick of purging and packing I could scream. Everything has just come to a grinding stop.  I'm overwhelmed. Every time I go to the mailbox there is another bill I can't pay. I can never get ahead of the process. I can't seem to stay organized and continually misplace things.  I'm easily distracted. No family around, and acquaintances never offer any…

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?
