In need of inspiration

[themiddleismyhome]

Has anyone else found themselves mid 30s, single parent, no job, felt absolute rock bottom and managed to turn it around and managed to be really genuinely happy?
This is the situation I have found myself in and I'm loosing hope that I'm actually ever going to be happy again. I have applied for a few jobs this week and I'm trying to stay positive just feel quite low and tearful tonight with it all.

Hi themiddle, didn't want to read and run. I'm not in your situation, but just wanted to point you in the direction of this thread: Inspiration
Hope I've done that link OK! It's basically a thread asking what has happened to you that you never though would. It has lots of sad stories, which made me take stock and realised how blessed I am, and there's also lots of uplifting, 'Now I'm married/have kids/have a job/ am happy stories too. I hope it manages to help you somehow.

*Thought would. (Glad the link came out OK too. )

Thanks so much kittykat I will definitely have a read of the thread. I do have so much to be grateful for, my children, my family, the roof over my head, it's just my life is so different to what I thought it would be and I feel out of control. Thanks for replying I appreciate it!
