I had a mini-breakdown tonight - I was trying to figure out why I've been so broke lately and I suddenly realized that between my depression and lupus I am spending half my monthly income on medical expenses, and I did a bare-bones budget, just food, utilities and the medical expenses and discovered that even just those come to more than I earn.
I just felt completely without options and overwhelmed and panicky and started to cry those deep sobs where you can't talk or catch your breath. In the past I wouldn't have been able to get back from that point and the evening would have ended in something self destructive, but between talking to a good friend and the antidepressants, I managed to get a grip (at least temporarily).
