A cry for help

I don't even know if there is a problem or what postpartum is.  I do know that the past 2 1/2 years have been full of trial and the past 4 months have been particularly difficult.  Not only has John been out of a job, which means we have been out of money but I have also been out of sleep and sanity.  It has taken my body so long to recover from giving birth and before it had recovered we were in a stupid car accident and I have been in a lot of pain from that, the doctor said I was probably more effected by it because my body still had the hormone in it that loosens everything up for child birth so as we were swerving from side to side my back was doing some swing dancing on its own (I don't even know if that makes any sense).
Because John finally got a job and it is in Utah we have to move but our house has dropped $50,000 in value since we purchased it a year ago, so now we have to short sale it and no one wants to purchase a short sale because they are afraid of the process.  If no one purchases our house we will be foreclosed on.  I haven't even seen the place we are moving into but I just found out it doesn't have a dishwasher or even a full size kitchen sink.  I love to cook but how will I be able to cook if I have no counter space or even a real sink to wash dishes.
I am so overwhelmed I keep praying for a miracle but don't get one.  Every time I accept my situation something worse happens.  I am just so afraid that God is going to take my family from me next.
I don't want scriptures or solutions I need a miracle.  I need a few things to fall into place today.  Maybe I need a doctors appointment.  I don't know.

  1. You sound overwhelmed. But I think you're doing a pretty good job of hanging in there. I'll pray for a miracle for you. And a dishwasher.

  2. I didn't know you were in an accident! It stinks when it feels like everything is piling up on you. And it very well may be hormones. There's nothing wrong with calling your doc and making sure things are in balance.

  4. I'm so sorry Becca. That does sound overwhelming. I'm glad to hear John got a job! And glad to hear you'll be moving back to Utah (hopefully being closer to family will help). When we bought our house a year ago all we looked at were short sales. I think people in the market right now understand that those are pretty common, hopefully they won't be scared off. I'm sorry for the timing of trying to sell your home right now. You're in my prayers.
