[quote=Anonymous]I have multiple urgent priorities and feel paralyzed.

Help me move beyond this overhwlem, please! Tell me what to do!

These are the projects:

1. DS suddenly started having major medical issues a few months ago and was hospitalized multiple times. He is 4. addition to some other medical issues). I just recently got him qualified for Medicaid/long term care. He needs therapies and additional follow up. But this is a huge undertaking-finding providers, scheduling it all, getting insurance to cover it, etc. So many phone calls and lots of calling and waiting for return calls which come back randomly.

2. Our roof is leaking. I got a company to come out and fix it, but then it leaked again. I have had a few different companies come out, and it’s a more complex issue than just the roof and is an issue with the stucco and potentially the foundation. Initial estimates are in the range of $30k-$60k to fix this.

3. I recently lost my job. It’s a long story but basically my job was 100% inflexible and my DS’ needs are significant. I took FMLA because he was in the hospital multiple times over the last several months. I ran out of FMLA and I still needed to get things in order for my son and I couldn’t be in person 100% of the time and my work wouldn’t give me any grace or flexibility so I quit.

We burned through all our savings when I took FMLA and to fix the roof and to cover medical bills. We’ve got $700k in home equity but can’t access it I don’t think since I’m unemployed. DH doesn’t make a lot of money and his credit is not awesome so I don’t think he can get a home equity loan individually.

I need a new job. We need to fix the roof leaking, I need to call contractors and our homeowners insurance (again). I need to get therapy and Medical care and respite in place for DS.

I’m frantic and panicking. What do I tackle
First? I find myself all over the place, moving from one task to another, meeting with contractors, submitting resumes, calling providers, etc. Is there a more systemic way to approach this? I’m so overwhelmed.[/quote]
