feeling off lately
Hi, Im 26 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. For the past few days I have felt off and everything and feeling very very tired.. I've had suicidal thoughts for the past few days due to a number of things my parents constantly b..... At me like everyday every minute everything its like they don't care,for me anymore and on top of that my husband has been stressing me out he got a new job and there's a girl up there that's he's been a ting weird when he's around her. Like if me and him go to the store and I go in and she's working its like he wants to hurry up and get outta the store but if he goes in there alone he takes forever like 10 minutes just to get me a drink ? I'm like seriously.. So him and my parents have been stressing me out plus this pregnancy has been bothering me BC, im in pain everyday my back and ny bag. Sorry tmi, but yeah they have constantly been hurting plus I believe I have acid reflux so. That's been stressing me out to idk if its too much stress or what u just don't know what to do I feel very weird and don't know why..
You have a special needs child so they will probably be able to find you a home with one level so she does'nt get hurt on stairs.
Maybe on Monday you can call your case worker to get things going. The wait may be a little long so the sooner the better.

Wow...I cringed the whole time reading this. I'm sorry you are going though all this...you have so much to overcome. Agree with remar..should definately talk to your caseworker. Maybe have your hubby, you said hes working..pay the fee for section 8 (if they have a fee in GA and even have a waiting list open) ...maybe look into subsidized housing if they have it there? Assuming you wanted three kids because family planning services are free with Medicaid... take one day at a time, and get the help you need.
Since you have young children and are expecting another one you will most likely be put high on the list as far as housing.
You did'nt say if you have a case worker or not. I take it you do if you get a food card. Ask them about churches and food pantries. Food is so expensive these days, everything is. Something that I've learned to do and it really helps is using coupons. I usually save about 25% a week on our weekly grocery bill. Even if you have a food card you can use coupons. I know people that do this. If you want I can send you some sites to check out to get coupons. If you have a printer you can just print them off.

yeah I was looking into that section 8 housing thing. im gonna wait until I get the money bc u have to pay 16 dollars to apply so im gonna apply on the 3rd and see what happens when me and my husband first got together he moved in with me at my parents house we lived there for about 6 months then got us an apartment then moved from there into a house and they house was foreclosed on and the landlord didn't tell us so we had no time to look for anything else or save up the money to get another place and we moved back in with my parents and have been here since then weve been here for about 8 months now.. im just trying to save up money to find us a house or apartment I live in ga so rents kinda high lol but im gonna apply for section 8 and see if they can help me I just got a letter today about my food stamps they cut then down to 200 a month. so now im really screwed..i also have to get me a car to, im having to pay 260 a month for my husbands so idk how I can afford a house that and another car plus getting tfood for my kids so im screwed as of right now I pray and pray I will come into some money one day so I can buy a house and a good car that's great on gas and everything..
No, don't be sorry. We're here to listen and help if we can.
Have you checked into housing for you and your family? There is most likely a long waiting list but you never know unless you give it a try. I think it would really help if you had a place of your own. If you have a case worker talk to them about this.
I do understand how hard things can be because I was also a teen mother and married at a very young age. We have one daughter who is grown now. My husband was a hard worker and already had an apartment when we got married so we did not have to live with out parents. I started working not long after our daughter was born. I worked days and my husband worked nights.
It can be done if you want it bad enough. That's why I mentioned checking into housing. If you get a place of your own and the rent is very cheap maybe you and your husband can work opposite schedules and take turns with the kids. That way you will be out of your parents home, have a place of your own, will not have to depend on your parents for anything and they can no longer depend on you.

her doctor said that they didn't think surgery nor glasses would help it but I honestly think she can she's bc she's walking crawling doing everything just fine.. I do help them pay like water and all that but they still b..... im suppose to be on bed rest as well because of the back problems I have but my parents don't understand that either they want me to pick up after them and everything as well I mean we will all sit down at the dinner table to eat and they will get up and just leave there plates sitting on the table im like are you serious and my mom always thinks something wrong with her like she fakes stuff all the time she doesn't say anything about anything being wrong with her until I wake up she will say it when I wake up cuz she wants me to pick up after her I mean I don't mind it but I constantly clean and do everything for them even though im suppost to be on best rest they don't care as long as they get what they want.. I cant even take a nap when im tired sbc she wont watch my kids for me for 2 hours while I nap so I pretty much don't sleep my hubby works from 11pm to 5am so im up all night then i go to sleep around 8 in the morning and my mom wakes me up at 930 just so she can sleep knowing she kept me up all night snoring she falls asleep at 830pm and sleeps all night snoring like a damn pig sometimes i just wanna stick a sock in her mouth bc that's what keeps me up is her. i cant go down stairs by myself cuz ill fall down the steps with my daughter.. it takes me 30 minutes to get up the steps as it is lol.. AGIAN IM SO SORRY FOR TELLING YOU ALL THIS YOU SEEM LIKE A VERY GOOD LISTENER.. IM SO SORRY ..
You're so young to be going through all of this. I'm so sorry your daughter is visually impaired. Is there anything that can be done about her sight?
You may want to check out some food pantries in your area to help with more food. Many churches do this and there are other places that also help. I know this is your food card and you have to buy things for your children and yourself because you're pregnant. Maybe your parents are thinking that you should pay something some how some way since you and your family live there. Are you and your husband ale to pay them any rent?
It does sound like things are getting bad for you. Can they come out again for therapy sessions? I think it would really help right now.

I feel like I have all the pressure on me and yes we live in the basement down stairs and I get food stamps so I get all the food in the house but no matter how much I spend on food my dad always b..... about how much I spend and why I spent that much I get 4 something a month with that and I cant even get my kids food bc I have to go out and buy the food they want I cant even get myself any food and me being pregnant, bc they want what they want but my name is on the card and I think I have the right to spend how much I want on whatever I want my dad yelled at me one day for spending 200 on food that we needed and I just threw my ebt card and them and said here yall take it since yall wanna yell about how much im spending. I go and get the cheap stuff bc I know my food stamps wont last but maybe 2 weeks with my family I get 4 something and it doesn't last but 3 weeks if that. bc im constantly having to go and get what they want I told them the other day my kids needed food and I need food healthy food bc im pregnant but they said whatever Kelly.. I was like it my dang card yall aint on it its me my kids and husband not yall so im constantly getting yelled at for that plus my daughter gets a check because she is visually impared and they ask me what I spend that on and everything I don't spend it on anything else besides her that's it. but yet they yell about that to.. I won on a lottery ticket the oteher day and went and bought me a laptop and helped them pay the gas bill and my dad yelled at me bc I went out and bought me something with my money that I wanted this is the first thing ive bought me since I was like 13 years old.. and all he wants to do is yell at me bc I got me a laptop and everything. they act like they don't care about anything besides themselves it all started before I got pregnant with this one.. and im sorry for spilling out my problems to you I just needed to get that out.. ive been to thearopy before they used to come out 2 times a week bc that's how bad it was it started after I had my daughter she will be 17 months next month on the 23rd..
You're only 18, married and getting ready to have your 3rd child? Yes, you must be very stressed.
I'm a parent myself and I'm wondering if your parents are also stressed because of what's going on.We do worry about our children no matter what age they are. Do you, your children and your husband live with them?
Is there anyway you can get into therapy? Have you ever went before? I think it would really be a good idea considering how depressed you sound.
We're always here to listen and help anyway we can.

Thank you so much your such a sweet heart (: my family won't listen to me if I try to talk to them they just brush it off it goes in one ear and out the other.. I really just need a friend to talk to all my friends don't talk to me anymore and when they do is drama. So idk who I cab talk to.
This is ALL stress. Sorry you are going through this. The best thing is to TALK. Just let it ALL out to your husband and your folks. Ask for their support and peace. Communication is key. If something i bothering you, talk about it. Also pray for peace. Jesus is the prince of peace. :) Just be happy you KNOW what you're stressed about. They are real things that can be addressed. A lot of people with general anxiety sometimes just feel anxious just... well.. because. Lol. And they can't pinpoint the answer. But it sounds to me like you know what's bothering you. Get it worked out OK? You don't need anymore stress girl. ;) Get to feeling better and Congratulations on that precious gift from God! :)
