Hi, I am a 58 year old woman who has delt with depression since I was in my teens. I have attempted suicide several times because felt like nobody cared about my feelings.
I had four children who are now 40, 39, 38, and 37 years old. My husband was an alcoholic who would leave for work and not come home for days, Luckily I worked at a Motel at night and take my kids and put them in a room to sleep. Anyhow I can understand the financial hardship, and wanting to give up.
Please find a crisis center. They can help you find a way to cope with all the feelings you have bottled up so that you can deal with the problems and find wzys to make them.better.

@crazyturtle, you're so right. There is help and calling a crisis center is a good tip. I bet you know first hand that that is easier said than done. You're experience would be an asset in the related support group:
Addiction & Recovery Support Group
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/addiction-recovery/
I encourage you to join the discussions there.

@crazyturtle, if you don't mind sharing, what helped you to have the courage to call a crisis center?
