    Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
    Hi-
    I'm 25 with a 1yr old baby at home and I'm at the end of my rope. We're always broke and everyday is a struggle. I work and my boyfriend works 2 jobs but we still can't pay for everything. I have bill collectors calling all day everyday. I'm enrolled in a credit counseling program to help settle old debts but we still can't pay all of our monthly bills. I cry at least an hour everyday. I was on anti-depressants but we can't afford them anymore. A couple of years ago I was hospitalized for depression but that situation was still loads better than what I'm facing now. Most of the time I wish I would die in a car accident or something on the way to or from work. I have absolutely no urges to harm anyone but myself. I honestly don't know what to do. If I talk to my boyfriend about it he gets angry because he doesn't know what to do and I have absolutely no support system. I can't go into the hospital because we can't afford it. I don't know how much longer I can hold on and I'm honestly scared.

    Amelia, honey... what country are you in?

    If you're in the US, there is probably help for you! Have you checked with your local social services programs, or the Salvation Army?

    Do you belong to a church? Maybe finding one of your faith in the area could help you branch out into a support system.
