So, I have just been stuck with this crushing weight on my chest. I am currently going to school, looking for a house, training a new puppy, running an autism classroom with no teacher, looking for a second job, and my wife is pregnant while only working 10 hours a week…So our finances are all fucked up, and I have no idea what to do! How do people without anxiety or depression handle this stuff?! Any suggested coping mechanisms? Everything I have ever done no longer works for me, or now makes it worse!

Try doing yoga whenever you have the time. Maybe you should get an apartment since you are only working 10 hours a week.
And what do you mean “running an autism classroom with no teacher?” are you the one teaching this class?
No, I am working full time. Wife is only working 10 hours, plus apartments are more expensive than a mortgage. Yes I am, with no degree.
Maybe you could try to lighten your load a little. Like maybe it’s not a good time for a puppy. They take lots of time and money.
Or maybe your employer can fill the empty teaching position. Or give you a raise. Have a realtor look for a house for you. Just brainstorming. Good luck friend.
I am well aware it’s not a good time for a puppy…but my wife wanted 2, so we got one as a compromise. We have been looking for a teacher since the summer, no one wants to work as a teacher, especially with Autistic children. I do have a realtor I am working with…just it’s taking forever because the market is slow in my area.
Not a good time to have a puppy, don’t you think? Apartaments aren’t supposed to be cheaper? Sorry, my english is bad I cant make better suggestions. I also have another one but is not too morally correct. I wish you the best anyway. You are going to be fine!!!
No, apartments cost way more than a mortgage (house payment) for the same house.
Very true where I live too. Large house
The rest of my comment got cut off. Large house costs less per month than small apartment where I live. Good credit equals good shelter.
Yeah, I suggest you get your shit together. That kid doesn’t need a depressed and anxious spaz for a father.
