I am curently off of work due to an injury. Im still waiting for workmans comp to kick in if they even do since theres an investigation going on to determine if I actually hurt myself at work or not and why my doctor took me off work rather than light duty.Its a mess and in the meantime the stack of bills is getting larger.A shut off notice from the electric company and the thoughts of the eviction from my apartment thats sure to come in the begining of next month have me worrying night and day.I live with my fiance whos income is only around $450 a month.Its a check sent to him once a month for taking care of his mother.He's been unable to find a job for over a year now so I was the primary bread winner.We were only just getting by before.Ive draged my feet and have had to ask my mother for help with such things as toilet paper.We have no children but theres a chance I may be pregnant now(waiting for a doctors apointment to find out).We'd been waiting for a break in the bills..just one month of a surprise lower payment or if nothing else then for tax time in order to send him to school to become a nurse aid as well as to get the new glasses he needs(they are severly scratched and are taped together). Now however Im franticly searching for a way to get him into those classes,the next one being offered in March.Its more important now than ever since my doctor has advised me to find a new profesion(im a nurse aid).I simply cannot do my line of work.I'm scared.His monthly check can only cover utilitys or car payment.I have a car through a buy here/pay here company that makes no alowances to people who simply dont have the money this month.Its cash or repo.
The car payment is $320($160 every 2 weeks so that decembers would be $480),car insurance(full coverage mandatory through the car company) is $180.Our electric runs around $90 plus the $50 I owe them by the 23rd of this month to avoid shut off.Gas runs around the same along with the $25 I owe by the end of the month to avoid shut off.Rent is $600.We recive food stamps but still struggle getting other non covered items like toilet paper,dog food,gas for the car,laundry soap,ect.
Im not getting any better and have no idea when I can return to work.tests are still being ran to see if there was nerve damage in my injury.I feel so lost and completly helpless.
