Is anyone else dreading the Easter half term?

I have my sons 13th birthday on Sunday and mother's day 😫. Then my car MOT is due mid April and insurance has just been renewed and increased by over £120 a year , water had shot up , fuel and utilities all on the rise and then I walk into the local supermarket to look at Easter Eggs for the kids to see they've almost doubled in price.

I'm so frustrated right now because while everything is getting more expensive particularly those things we need to provide stability and security for our children but benefits are being cut and the potential for my pip tribunal to go in my favour is looking bleak right now.

Where am I supposed to magic the money for food and essentials? How am I supposed to feed the kids? Right now a couple of Easter eggs are a luxury most of us can no longer afford. What is this country coming to?

I lost my glasses due to my brain fog a month ago, and I struggle without getting headaches etc - but I cant afford to buy new ones without PIP. There are many ways it would help me live an easier life accessing the community easier and also help me on my worst days with different aids but right now I'm looking at a future where I become more and more isolated because of the decisions this government is making.

I am so scared of the future right now...
