Anyone else cracking open a bottle at 3 in the afternoon? Feeling shitty. I don't even know why really, just been feeling shitty alot lately. I shouldn't have started drinking, just one I tell myself, just one because I have to function tonight when my boy comes over... i just want to go to drink and pass out. Anyone around?

Ah shit that sucks @Anastasia do you reckon you'd be able to get a carers payment or something from centrelink do you reckon? Something to help tie you over til you've figured out the next move?
In response to: Re: Help. Please.

Don't know @saltandpepper
Don't really have the energy to deal with Centrelink. Going to sleep in it and decide overnight. I think it's best (financially) to stay. Its just that I don't know if my heart wants to...
How are you anyway, are you ok today?
