yes we all know that perhaps things can get worse than this...sometimes it is BITCH and unfort for others its mosttimes a BITCH...however life lessons while easy to advise on are also learned the hardway...i doubt you focusing on her word choice will help matters on her end at this time. i took the title of the thread as an expression 'nothing could get worse than this' and im not sure who you youve hung with or hang with but its an expression that is unfort used often when chit happens...when i hear this i imagine ones arms/hands in the air seeking the heavens as to why out of frustration...i suppose they could say 'nothing could get better than this' but that would hardly make sense...no doubt someone somewhere would find that an odd word choice as well.

Hang in there, Caitlin. I hope everything works out for you and your family.

Hey there,
Try not to worry too much I'm sure you will have somewhere to live, and yeah this seems huge right now but always remember the material things in this world can be replaced, it's the immaterial things (people, etc) that can't be and those are the true losses.

A couple quotes for you:

"You have five minutes to wallow in the delicious misery, embrace it, enjoy it, discard it, and proceed" ~Elizabethtown

"What's important in this life, ask the man whose lost his wife" ~Pretenders

"Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free sillouetted by the sea let me forget about today until tomorrow." ~Dylan

Maybe life is like a roller coaster, and we only go down so we can have fun coming back up!

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation, and I'm even more sorry that not everyone could say something understanding.

As they say every cloud has a silver lining. Hopefully, something good will come out of all this. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

That does suck. I was unemployed for five months last year, and now I work work with the homeless, so I know all to well. It's very hard going through this, however, you'll get through it. But, you HAVE to be determined that you'll get through it. The people who get out of our system the fastest are the ones who take control of their emotions and focus all of their energies getting out of being homeless. Of course, many, if not most of the people I deal with have a lot of other issues, too, such as alcohol and drug addictions and mental illness. Now, if they can do it, so can you. It is possible.

Caitlin, I don't know you very well...I can't claim to know everything you've gone through, and even if I did I might not be able to say I can relate. However, as someone with a terrible anxiety disorder, I can tell you that this thought pattern is not healthy for you. Now, I don't want this to sound condescending or like I'm talking down to you, but for your own sake, you have to look at some positives in your life, as hard as it may be to remember them. Which, I'm talking about this string of bad luck since 1997, NOT about the foreclosure on the house. You may not realize it because you're young, but these negative thoughts do build up in your subconscious, and I'm scared that one day they will explode like they did with me. I wouldn't wish what happened to me on anyone. I know life for you is hard right now, and again, I don't know you very well, but it still scares me anytime ANYONE says they are sick of life. Take this for what it's worth: you can bash me, tell me to shut up, agree with me, whatever. But, I thought I should offer that advice. Hang in there...sometimes the people with the hardest childhoods end up having the best adult lives.

Caitlin,
Hang in there. Just take every day as it comes and do your best. Please don't ever say you are sick of life. What you are going through is rough, but try to find a few moments in your sadness and stress to think of people who have gone through hard things and made it through alright. Be there for your family too. As hard as this is on you, it's got to be harder for them to lose what they worked for. It's probably safe to say that on top of that they feel that they may have failed their children. Be strong for them and take comfort in eachother.

Hi Caitlin, I actually went through this when I was 17. It is scary, and awful I know, and I am really sorry to hear that you are going through this!

For me the hardest thing was that my mother was so stressed, and caught up in the legal problems, that I couldn't lean on her at all when I needed to. I recall that I made a lot of bad decisions at that time, while looking for a feeling of security, and I didn't really look for guidance from adults who were outside my family.

Obviously I don't know the details of your situation, aside from what you posted, but I want to encourage you to find some steady mentor or counselor (school?), teacher, or relative, to talk to while all of this is going on.
I think it is really great that you shared this with us.
