Yes, at the moment, that's the trigger. I'd be lying if I said there weren't other triggers at other times.
My minimum budget, with no discretionary funds whatsoever came to about $30 more than my take home pay. By finding cheaper sources of dog food and pills, I can probably make up that $30. But I really need to up my hours.
Disability probably isn't an option. I appear on the surface to be quite high functioning. Everyone including my therapist and often myself thinks I'm just lazy. I was astonished that my husband managed to see through the facade. I'm positive I wouldn't make it through disability hearings.
I'll get through this patch somehow. Change is hard for me.
And somehow I *will* pull myself together and work those extra hours. That *has* to be the answer.
