May is probably the hardest month of the entire campaign. The added rules from April and especially the new one in May are basically designed to make things quickly cascade out of control - but the next few months give you some powerful tools to fight back.
Keep going.
Keep going.
As I recall, when there was a poll about when people's first loss happens, the winner, by far, was January, but there was a spike in April (and again in September at the 2/3 mark).
The game is designed with a deliberate difficulty curve, with peaks around 1/3 and 2/3 - April/May and September/October - so it's expected that people will lose those months unless they've got the balancing bonuses from losing earlier games.
