Severe anxiety. Woke at 6am and can't get back to sleep. It was hot last night so I couldn't get to sleep until after midnight.
Very worried about finances at the moment. It's complicated but a stressful time as my former employer is anything but transparent about our pension plans and how the money is invested. A friend of mine quit a few years ago so I do know the process thank goodness. We can withdraw our plan directly into a locked-in RSP (tax sheltered plan that we can't withdraw until retirement age), and manage it ourselves. I know what to do with it - that's not the problem. It's that everything is shrouded in secrecy. Our yearly pension statements only tell us our contributions over the years and not what our plan is currently worth. We are allowed to withdraw a small percentage in cash (and pay taxes on it) and that should allow me to live while I finish my 8 month college program, rather than having to get a student loan. I'm obviously anxious to know the amount since our current income (between my husband and I) is a thousand a month. We are in debt from home repairs.
Argh! I have never in my life had the luxury of not being worried about money. I know I'm very fortunate to even have a pension plan. But it could take them 90 days for this process and for me to even know how much my plan is worth. I was part-time so it's not as good as it probably sounds. Meanwhile we are stressed about spending anything. My husband needs to go to the physiotherapist often, and since we no longer have coverage we are paying out of pocket. He didn't even want to go but I insisted - health expenses are not optional and it affects his mood as well as the functioning of his body.
So that's what I am dealing with. Just a waiting game until I know where I am. But I really can't start school until 1) my health is confirmed okay and 2) I know how much freaking money I have.
The lack of transparency does bother me a lot.

The main thing im fighting is.. time. I dont have much after a full day's work. Plus travel time of 1 to 1.5 hours each way. Then chores. I've been not sleeping to get more time. Tutors are usually during standard business hours when im working. Trying to barely hang on.. all I need is a C . Just gonna try for that.
That's interesting - I tend to feel my worst depression in the evenings when I'm tired. I think it's a form of diurnal depression more often experienced by people with "atypical" depression. For me it could also be the result of being stressed out all day. I fight the urge to eat from fatigue and to get pleasure.
I also get depression first thing in the morning when I wake up, but usually by the time I get moving it fades.

Thanks. I'm trying not to dwell on worries, and will definitely be able to relax once they get me some more information. I find it hard to trust anyone with financial matters. And I didn't say this - but my friend who left the company was given very poor advice and ended up owing a huge amount of taxes, which was especially egregious because she took out some money in December and if she had split the withdrawal between two years she would have saved many thousands of dollars. I mean, she was full-time and used to work lots of overtime so she had a lot more money in the plan than I do, but still... Unfortunately by the time she told me about it, it was too late to solve.
