Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted anything. I've been very preoccupied. Right now I just feel like venting!! For the last month my job has laid off a lot of people and cut back on hours. Hourly employees have lost their overtime and been cut down to 32 hrs/week!!! Who can live off of that?!! Things have picked back up a bit though; only some of us have gone back to 40/hrs but that doesn't include me. Yes I'm looking for another job but I don't know how soon I'll get that and besides, I'm not a US Citizen and my Resident Alien Card has expired two months ago. I'm in the process of renewing it hopefully for free. I requested a fee waiver which will take about 60 days to review. So in the meantime, my money is going downhill and I have to keep borrowing money from a check cashing store. Some of my creditors are working with me as well.
Another thing that adds to my misery is my apparent (I hope I can mention it here) sex addiction. I won't go into detail on that but for those of you who read a post from me last month on my confusion about my counselor, this is one area in which she was not very helpful. One day she thought I had an addiction and another day she didn't. I don't see her anymore. I've been struggling with this all my life. A part of me wants to stop but it just feels too damn good until I feel like crap. I've been checking self-help websites as well. That's all I'll say for now.

Thanks for your response Blanket Girl. No I'm not in any kind of counseling right now. First of all, I don't think I can afford the professional counseling right now since I lost my hours; not even the co-payment. As for 12-step, my last counselor suggested it to me. I've checked out two kinds, one for emotional problems and another for sex addiction but they're either not in my location or they're held at inconvenient times.
Yes I'll still try hanging on.
