Tonight I realise I am trapped in despair. I have lost everything and can see no point in going on with this charade called life. I have lost my home, my job, my boyfriend and my mum is dying. I am in debt and cant see anyway forward. I don't even have a pound to buy food, I am overdrawn, have bills pilling up and no where to turn. I have applied for jobs since losing my job last month, been for interviews etc and today I lost my phone, its a cheap £12 pay as you go mobile, yet someone decided to nick it from me...so now finding work will be near on impossible. My boyfriend made it clear hes interested only in sex and other women and in fact taunts his antics in front of me...there is one glimmer of hope for me and that is my son, he is worried about me and I cant bear to hurt him. He lived through all my problems. when his father attacked us and forced the sale of the family home, when my ex boyfriend used to make me cry by running me down time and time again. Christmas is on the horizon and I cant even buy a tin of beans but the world seems to be buying everything that seems so unimportant in the scheme of things. How has my life come to this.

Oh my dear. How desperately sad for you. But please remember there is always, always hope. How old is your son?. For his and your mum's sake you should try to carry on. If your boyfriend is not able to give you any support you should ditch him. I know it will hurt but surely it's one less thing to think about and one less drain on your confidence. Are you able to borrow a little money to buy a cheap phone and pop into some agencies and get a short term seasonal job to bring in a bit of money before Christmas?
Try Citizen's Advice about your debts they are wonderful at helping you prioritise what you need and get in touch with Housing Associations and the Council to find somewhere to live longer term.
Not many words of comfort I'm afraid but you have been through such a lot already and have had the strength to get through that so you probably are stronger than you think and are just having a major wobble (understandable). Blessings x
