[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't have any more advice to add, you've gotten a lot. Just wanted to throw out my support. Its very hard to imagine or believe things getting better, but they will and you will look back on this time and wonder how you did it--but you will do it. Anxiety and depression both have a very deceptive side--they contort your thinking to a high degree, its hard to get an objective handle on reality, so it can make things seem really, really REALLY dire.

You're in a tough position because you have crushing responsibility but almost no control (it seems)--but you have more than you think.

What field is your husband in? Would he be willing to take on part time work? a much less paying job just to help out making ends meet while he continues his search? has he  exhausted his networks?

If I were you, I'd table the marriage issues to the extent possible--just accept that you are both going through a shitty time that is testing you both, but that you just need to get through it to something better and you can address bigger issues between you then. Just start now by focusing on your own mental and physical health.

finally, can you find a support group or some network to help you? unitarian church, a free or low cost group therapy, etc?

good luck. I feel for you. [/quote]
