Just to let you know, your LJ cut is messed up.

As for your situation: The first thing I think you need to do is get into counseling. There should be some type of free counseling that you can sign up for either through a local agency or place of religious worship. I think you need counseling to help you with your issues (feeling unhappy in your job, not being in school, not having friends) as well as couples counseling to help your husband (and you even) understand the source of the problems in your relationship and to work on making it better.

Another word of advice is that using job search engines doesn't always work. If you're looking for work over the internet, it's better to check out the websites of individual company that you're looking to apply to. You didn't say what method you were using, but it's something to keep in mind.

just some things to think about

I agree with stayin, you need counseling for yourself and your husband. You both sound like you're living with your nerves left exposed and it's wearing you both down. Also, I don't know where you're working right now, but sometimes marching through the mall/into businesses with your resume and personally ask people if they're hiring works better than sending your resume online. Unfortunately there will be a lot of "we're not hiring right now" but they'll keep your resume

I think youre really unhappy with your life. You need to regain control, take out loans for school and go back. then go into therapy and work on your relationship. good luck.

I agree with this.. I think your first problem is not having a life outside your relationship. I know it's much easier said than done but you need to do whatever it takes to get your life back on track.. as in gaining some friends, moving in the direction you want with schooling and jobs, and then think about saving your relationship.

apply for medicare or medicade. you were on meds and it sounds like you still need to be. the government helps pay for medication when you might not be able to afford them. as for your relationship, couples therapy may help not only with your relationship but you personally. your area much also have church groups, temple groups or even local libraries have book clubs where you can meet people with common interests. if not, there are volunteer organizations like homeless shelters, nearby schools, community improvment groups etc where you can get involved in your community and get to know your neighbors.

I'll second the suggestion to apply for Medicaid.

Here's Ohio's Medicaid web site: http://jfs.ohio.gov/ohp/bcps/AccesstoCov.stm

On that page you'll find the number to call for an application/more info. Even if you don't qualify for Medicaid, you may be eligible for other assistance.
