Scared and Struggling

I think I just need to rant. My anxiety hasnt dropped since yesterday. It started when I recieved a notification from my bank app. The cost of my gas and electric. The cost before Boris Johnsons bullshit was £95 a month, then £140 and now £216. That's over £2000 a year for a basic living requirement and it's set to go higher in October. Wages arent changing, putting petrol in your car just to get to your job is an eye watering expense. Around my other expenses and the expenses of childcare/providing for my family, I'm shot and scared. I'm in a probation period with my job that's up for review tomorrow. My wife works part time to aid childcare costs and honestly her job is incredibly stressful. She works with the health service which has been bludgeoned with cuts leaving people like her over worked and in constant burnout…

My wife works part time to aid childcare costs and honestly her job is incredibly stressful. She works with the health service which has been bludgeoned with cuts leaving people like her over worked and in constant burnout with huge client lists. All of this is effecting our home life. We argue more, I fear what it's doing to our son. But the populace just trudges on, the protests are weak. Millions are starving and come winter with these costs many will be dying. Yet the prick in No.10 just continues with this push into facism. Today protests are going to be outlawed in the queens speech. I'm at my wits end. Will I lose my job tomorrow? I fear the little savings I have wont see me through to another job. What if I have to commute for it? What if the pay doesnt cover the costs in winter? It's all too much.
