[quote=Anonymous]OP - you got advice on fixing your money situation, on having kids and on moving - but I didnt see anything on helping you feel better, which actually will make all three of those better.

You said you have a plan to move, that's outstanding.  Even if it's not as soon as you like, it's a plan.  Focus on that - chart out the time between now and then and figure out what you need to do to make it through.

What can you do now to help you get out of your house when it's time to leave?  What can you set up for DC in your new place in terms of resources? How much can you pay down your debt so you can start over fresh?  etc.  Map it all out - and refer to the map (even if it's a big, long term one!) when you start feeling down.

you have an escape plan - focus on that!

In the meantime, try to find some outlets for your feelings.  go to a friends for drinks (not to an expensive bar, and dont have her to your house where you'll just stare at the kitchen you hate ;),  go for a walk in a nice park nearby, take DC to the zoo or a museum.

Good luck

PS:  i also have a plan to leave DC, but it's not for 20 years when I retire from the gov't ;)[/quote]
