I can so feel your pain...I lost my home of 26 years with around 6 thousand left to pay  all because of stupidity on my part and no one to help me with repairs..leaks, roof, overgrown yard, and 2 years back taxes due ssoooo I lost it....I too worked in Early Childhood for many years..was Director in 2 different day cares..was a site manger with the school board of where I lived in FL...then went into nursing school but couldn't finish for a few reasons..it sucks really...so take the time to have a pity party..we need to ever now and then

I try to think of starting over again as an adventure. Because it is. It's somewhere I've never been before be it in a house with a leaking roof (I know how to fix them now), a flat tire on the highway (can fix that too) not quite step children that their parents abandoned and they hated me. And yes, I could go on. And I'm glad I have too cause I have stories to tell now. As do you.
And it is your party/life. And you have lots more stories to tell

Franny, dear lady....
You have gone thru what so many have..you are NOT alone! The dif between you and those that have pulled themselves out of their funk, is either drugs or a stronger constitution....it is NOT your fault!
So...what do you want...to stay in the position you are...miserable, and regressing into a hole that you found the initive to dig? To die lonely and so depressed that you blame your place in life as something that others did to you, so woe is me, I will sit here and cry in my beer untill dead???
Or will you circle a date on the calender...at least 2 weeks ahead...and wallow in your misery up to that day...then wake up and say *ENOUGH! I am THRU being so unhappy...I am going to take baby steps, and live the rest of my life under MY control!!! 
Did parts of this sound harsh? Hon...that is not my intent...it is to say only YOU can control how you handle things. Make a list of 3...things that need to be done..then pat yourself on the back when done..make another list of 3..etc.
Besides having a man in your life (which will happen when you are happy with yourself)...what do you want..*that doesnt cost money*..then DO it!!!
Yes, this is long...but I care...

I think most of us have been there at some point in our lives, I always try and think,you cannot change the past but you can influence the future and your new journey.You will get there,just don't be too harsh on yourself.Good luck

Sometimes we're on our own and there's no one to fix anything but us. I'm learning that reading the directions is recommended.
As the gent above recommended, do three things a week maybe, or strive for that. Three good things for you a week, whether that be planting a tomato plant so you'll have some fresh veggies to nibble on, (great for diets, even the container-grown kind), or taking a walk, or trying to change the toliet kit, (I just learned and I think I can actually do it now!)
We ladies can do anything we need to do, within reason, and if we can't that's what friends are for, but one has to get motivated and up off of the couch to make some. I think life is nothing but a series of "start overs," hon.
I'm sending positive, caring, excellent blessings your way, girlfriend.

Fran, I realize that you have been going through more than most do it life and I do understand why you would have the feelings that you do. We all go through different things in life, and its when we see it for what it is, and do start taking care of ourselves, that it all doesnt look quite so bleak. At least this is my experience.
I am glad you are still here and have "some" optomism. As I have heard all my life and for the most part I believe it..."Things now, can only get better "
Thanks for sharing this with us. "Seeing" and sharing things as they are, is a huge step!
Here is for a better tomorrow for you ...
