Narrative:

I released aircraft X off of ZZZ and climbed him to 2;000 ft. On a 270 heading. At some point before or after; I'm unsure; I released aircraft Y off of ZZZ1 on a standard heading of 300 climbing to 2;000 ft. All operations at mia TRACON were west; which is the less common configuration. As soon as aircraft Y checked in on my frequency; I turned him left to a 270 heading and turned aircraft X to a 300 heading resulting in a slight loss of vertical separation. Since my first missed paycheck; I haven't been sleeping well; I'm coming to work angry and anxious. My patience with airplanes and my coworkers is deteriorating; my focus is off. I'm more concerned with how I'm going to provide for my two young daughters than I am concerned with this job.reopen the government and or pay the controllers who are being forced to come to work without pay. In an already stressful environment; the last thing that we need to be worrying about while trying to keep airplanes safe and separated is how to provide care for our children; feed our families; or what jobs we can apply for that will pay the bills. This shutdown is taking a toll on safety and morale. It's jeopardizing the integrity of the NAS.
