Anyway, sorry if my original post seemed too negative.


No...not to negative at all... just real.

I've battled depression before and it does not fight fair and it is very real.

Right now I'm out of work in an extreamly difficult to find a job area of central Georgia. I'm partially dis-abled from diabetes but not enough to qualify for disability. Right now we only have my wife's income which is only about $1,200 a month. We get some help from family but that is limited. We are renting a little 2 bedroom duplex in a bad part of town. It is all we can afford. The State of Georgia says we should be able to get by with $120 a month for food. I guess none of them have been to a grocery store of late! lol

I'm trying to do anything I can to make some money. Anything legal that is! That is why I posted a question here about what to charge for transcription services. Seems there is a need here and there for some of that and it is something I can do. There are days that the money issues just get to be way too much to deal with so as they kids like to say... "I feel you!" Man... I can't believe I wrote those words!!! blush

For us, anyway.. and I respect that this does not do it for everyone... it is our faith that keeps us going. I can honestly say that in the midst of our serious trouble we are not giving in to despair and we have a great hope for the future. Sometimes we just wish it would hurry up and get here!!! grin

Sorry for the long wind here... just hoping to let you know that you are not alone and there are people that can identify with your experience and wish you a quick recovery!
