My life is a mess. Yea I said it

First step is admitting right ? Some days I can breathe and smile but then there are the dark days .

The dark days it's very hard for me to function much less get out of bed at a decent time .

As much as I hate to say it when I was with my ex I had it made in the shade as far as finances and it had been a very long time ok maybe 3 years since I did it all myself . I think I knew the impact it would be to leave him but I thought I was prepared for it what I wasn't prepared for was the cost of living in texas.

I've been doing great up until July when work stop giving Overtime and the fincial.impact it was when the kids came home . Few things that would make anyone loose their mind if it occurred to them in their lifetime all happened to me in the course if a week .

My pay was decreased

The children care became exist .

I had made plans for my children to stay in texas they were enrolled in school everything was going great and their father came out to Texas and took them :( I was devastated and then I found out he

Over the last year while I was getting my affairs in order for my children he filed for custody the lawyer I had failed to mention details until the last minute on the cases and he was granted custody.

My car was gone

And a loan I took out just to make it had now come back to bite me in my butt hard.

Now I was short on rent and facing a possible eviction. I had court they continued due to the bankruptcy and we had court a couple of weeks later when we came back the apartments didn't show up to court and my case was dismissed . The judge told me to speak with them about payment arrangements when I went they told me they weren't working with me and they will serve me another notice I have not heard from them

At this point .

I filed for bankruptcy 1 time before and it didn't go well the lawyer I hired had me dill out everything and turned around and didn't file anything and my case was dismissed.

I filed again and this time did everything on my own I was so proud of myself up until a week ago and it was time to set up my installments I realized I would need legal help. I reached out to a lawyer he looked through my details and said a few mistakes I made on my filing and that my case would be dismissed very soon . I had court yesterday to sit down with a meeting with the creditors and the trustee stated I needed help and sent me to a lawyer for further help . Sitting down talking with her she stated with my finances it's going to be hard and I needed to wait until my case was dismissed and try again.

July was such a rough and stressful month for me and I was on the edge of a cliff I feel better now ready to take on any obstacles but it makes it very difficult to sleep and keep moving . I'm at another court appearance this morning and listening to others with all their properties , ocean front homes and just bad business deals I'm sitting here saying to myself I'm sitting here because I do not make what I'm worth and I know better and need to do better . And I've trusted the wrong men along the way and should have took care of me .I'm not sure how the next 30 days will pan out for me but I'm hoping for a fresh start and a moment to exhale.
