Voting Question: depression and budgeting?

31/07/11

Im hoping someone can help.

I had a wonderful job this time a year ago but the recession saw everyone becoming redundant, Im now in a job (I dont like) and barely making ends meat!

I am on minimum wage bringing home about £170-£190 per week (depending on the overtime), by the time the phone, gas, electric, council tax, water, rent and travel expenses (ness to get to work) are covered I am living on between £20-40 per week. My food and pet food expenses have been dropped to £20 per week, cleaning and toiletries take care of the last few ounds I have, I dont by “luxuries”, because i cant afford it, Im getting so depressed by it all, I had to move from an area and home I loved to a small bedsit. Everything seams to be breaking now or needs replacing i.e Ive lost loads of weight and none of my clothes fit as they should, my washing machine is broken, i cant even afford to have a cooker fitted legally

Can anyone suggest anything to help stop this feeling of hopelessness and depression?
Im trying to get a new job but I am not having any luck, I went to the GP who suggested tablets to help but I cant even afford to pay for the prescription.
