so here I am crying my eyeballs out. I got laid off about a month ago and I go to buy some groceries…

You can do this. Do you have WIC?? It helps a lot with food.

@valrocks, I need to reapply I didn't qualify when I was working. I know it's just my emotions and being scared since he will be here this month but I really made me feel like shit

stay strong know it's hard but it's all going to work out... an you should apply for food stamps if you haven't already..

wic and ebt. you should immediately qualify for both. wic and ebt provide money for you to be able to get formula

yes apply for both!! and ebt can sometimes take awhile but they will back pay!!

have you applied for unemployment too since you got laid off

can family or SO help you out til you figure something else out? don't make any rash decisions, everything will work out!

it's a long story really I don't think I'll qualify for ebt because I live with my parents. they dont go grocery shopping at all and when they do its stuff I can't eat (I have GD) I can't get unemployment either because it was only a part time job but had great pay so I wasn't struggling when I worked there. And my family has a lot of financial issues already they can barely afford rent but they go blow money at Disney etc. it's a bad cycle with them. always going out to eat rather then cooking. it's not my place to judge what they do with their money. my hormones and emotions have calmed down and am no longer thinking irrationally. I love my son to death and I don't think I would even be able to give him up I'm just stressed is all @1st_time_wonder @nowmrspost @athomas @mrodriguez0305 @tbay91

I will continue to pray for you. I had to quit my job recently because of horriblw work environment. I do have my husband but I hate asking him for anything. Like you said ive been on my own since 16 and have paid for all my stuff. I know it might be hard but local churchs have food pantry and you might can get some stuff you can eat there. I would definitely try for wic at least you can get fruits and vegetables that are safe for gd. If you need anything please let me know I will keep you in my thoughts

@jadedplumeria Are you over age 22?

@1st_time_wonder, yes I'm 23

@athomas, thank you it's just hard going from being in the Navy to getting out and struggling more then I'd imagine

You should be eligible then. I believe especially if you're a veteran

@jadedplumeria, I know its hard I really do. but just remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel you may not see it now but you will. also god is and will always be right by your side.

@1st_time_wonder, @athomas thank you so much!!!!

I'm praying for you an God is going to work it out hang in there!!

No issue hun 💜 I know the struggle of not being able to provide for myself... I actually used to be very poor and homeless. I lived behind a Sonny's for a few months and then on a hill beside a dollar tree until I found out I was pregnant... After that I said no more and sucked it up and went to my mil with my fiance because I would rather feel like killing someone than neglect my baby 😂😂😂

your welcome
