Job and health problems

seeking medical help takes courage and strength. no shame in that. don't let yourself think it shows any sign of weakness to talk to a doctor about how you've been feeling lately. It could help.

Dude, the 4 most stressful things in your life are:

1) Death of a spouse
2) Loss of job
3) Selling a home/moving
4) Marriage problems

I have three of the four going on right now. And you know what??? I am selling my home to buy a smaller, less expensive home, so that when I get another job, if I have to take a cut in pay, I am not hit hard by it. When I get another job, my marital problems will work themselves out cause all our fighting is about money issues. I am working it out, although I have contemplated "ending it all"...but I am strong in my faith, I am confident that I will find a job, and I love my wife with all my heart. Nothing is worth ending your life over.

Your life is just beginning, you will experience ups and downs, peaks and valleys, trials and tribulations. But what makes you a strong, confident man...is how you handle those trials and tribulations. Drive over those peaks and coast down through the valleys, maintain a good attitude and you will always be "up", and never be "down". Life is full of surprises. Some of us laugh it off, others cry...but a surprise never killed someone.

If you need to talk, let me know. I have been there, and I am sure I am right there with you now. Take heart to the advise that has been given here. We all care about you, so take us up on some of the offers, we are here to help.

theres a lot of wisdom in what you say joe....if you are like most people in life you spend most of your younger years getting ready for the rest of your life....i had to start all over at 24 and now at 35 my life is what i wanted it to be....just with a lot of setbacks and i always thought id have more money but that will come in time....

There are people in this world that have it a hundred times harder than you, and still keep going everyday, even with a positive attitude. Heck I know some of them. I work 8-10hours everyday, 5days a week, and I couldn't even begin to complain. My brother works 12-14hour days, sometimes 7days a week, has a four year old and a wife with cancer who complains to him everyday, he's 22 and stressed to hell, so how can I possibly complain about working a whopping 45hours a week?
Just take a step back and realize that you need to appreciate yourself, your life, the people around you, and you really dont have it as hard as you think you do.

I know there are, it just really sucks that I cant afford to go to a doctor without having to worry If i can pay it or not, right now I cant really pay the medical bills I have thats what mainly bothers me. I need to get bloodwork, i need diabetes pills, I need to go to the chiropractor(sp) and a few more things and just cant find a way to afford em. Im sure you guys are gonna tell me to just go and stuff but I dont wanna get in debt more than I am.

Edit: I dont really think of ending my life much, I just wish I wasnt extremely sick in the stomach all the time. It makes it really hard to live any normal kind of life.

Son, don't think that debt will rule your life. I have a huge amount of debt right now from doctors bills and such...well over 50,000 dollars worth. I don't know how I will pay it, but somehow each month I can make a payment. I may never get fully out of debt, but I don't let it rule my life. You are still very young. Do not let money get in the way of your health. if you would excuse the pun, you are selling yourself too short.

Hey man Bills come and go and if it all seems like hell there is alway a big B word to help, runis credit but in a way helps.
Any way we just had two very nice and fun gentleman at our work pass away through a tradic accident at our casino. It was in a storage bin about 200ft away and it was crazy to see how that effected over 800 employees. I knew the men but wasn't really close and it still gave me bumps. BLESS THE FAMILY. I'm glad that I wasn't there in a way and I'm also devesated too. Im sure there wasn't anything that we could do as security/ frist responders. It was so hot. Now I understand that this isn't going to any one in paticular but since it seemed like a sad page just wanted to let a little loose thanks guys.
