Sorry to depress you all but just letting you know what I've decided to do.  I realise this post will not be popular and I will be accused of thinking negatively and focusing on current reality.  To me it is a solution.  It isn't what I want, but it is the option I have to take.  I can no longer go on doing a full time job for the next three weeks, getting up at 7 am to go to it, staying until 9pm to write job applications, then going home and preparing for interviews, none of which I get because I am too exhausted to prepare properly, then going to bed and not sleeping, getting up and doing the same all over again.  I am not in a good place I am afraid, in fact complete rock bottom.  I'm having the house valued on Saturday, as I can't pay the mortgage if I haven't got a job and would lose it anyway. I am seriously thinking of selling it and rehoming the cats as without their home and what they are used to, it won't be a good life for them.  I can't live with them in council accommodation because of simply what it is like around where I live (please don't contradict me, I know!).  If someone I know has them at least I know they would be happy and looked after and I would still get to see them.  It's devastating when I have worked for what I have all by myself, and know that I am going to have to be prepared to lose everything.  I feel this is a bite on the bum for having the audacity to think I could progress in my career and leave the last job - I'm now left with nothing. It is destroying me but really I can't let myself sink into something like bankruptcy.  I could perhaps start again somewhere else, not sure what.  Just sell everything and start again, just me! And then get more cats. Who knows??!!
