Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I could really use some positive thoughts

Hey Guys,

Sorry to be a downer again, but I could really use some positive thoughts sent my way. I've mentioned it in previous posts (I think) but right after Scott and I got engaged, he got laid off from work

This is very bad timing for us and one of the reasons we pushed the wedding back one year (my health being the other one). Anyways...he's had four interviews so far and no offers

We don't know when they were going to contact him for sure so someone still might, but it's still really discouraging. I'm still getting paid my disability but it's under review and could be terminated at any time, and even with it, we don't have even close to enough money to pay our regular bills. It's really scary...I think I can pull us through the rest of this month by being very careful with our spending and using what's left of my savings, but beyond that we will be in big trouble.

So, he has an interview tomorrow morning and one again on Monday, so prayers and good thoughts would really be appreciated. I don't know why these things keep happening...we were so excited to have gotten engaged and I was getting better medical care and everything and then boom...just like that everything falls apart.

We are trying so hard to be positive but its getting really difficult. ANd the worst part about it is that he doesn't want to talk to me about it. I can understand why, financial stress is hard on any relationship but I'm particularily hard to deal with because of my mental illnesses...I tend to fly off the handle really easily and be very irrational (black and white thinking) so I'm not always very kind or helpful (am working on it though). But it's been three weeks now (I think...I've been in a stupor) and I can't keep holding it in anymore. He said he'd prefer I try and find someone else to talk to but I really don't have anyone. I don't really feel comfortable talking to my family about it in any detail...and all my friends are really busy right now as the school year is wrapping up.

So, I'm sorry to unload here but you guys are always very supportive and thoughtful so I thought I'd give it a try. Also, any suggestions for job hunting tips would be really appreciated. He's filled out an application with the local Electrician Union to try and become an apprentice...but there is about a 8 month wait list before they'll need more people...so he just needs something in the meantime.

And for you London gals...if you've heard/seen of any place that's hiring and could pass it on I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

(and sorry)
