    Have you been feeling like this for a while? Or has it been a recent thing? Why do you feel let down by nearest and dearest? Is there something you could start doing just for your own enjoyment to pull you out of the cycle you're in.

    Big hugs.

    Agree with lucifa that you need to do something just for you.

    Chrismoney, sorry about the cheque - what a nightmare. Any chance of doing a car boot sale over the weekend or something, to bring a bit of cash in?

    Just everything is getting on top of me! Have debt to pay off offered a sum to creditors as I cannot afford to pay it. One of them took the cheque and the normal payment this month so that is leaving me broke. Some have asked me to call them, but cannot face it. I will tomorrow. :confused:

    I cannot do a car boot, don't have anything to sell. Or a car.

    Everything is going wrong. I'm trying to sell my house but that is impossible in the current state of market. The tennants that are living there are being pains.

    Nothing wants to go right! I'm betting life will get worse before the end of July! And having £20 to live on dose'nt make it any better.

    Thanks for your help and support snaggles. :A

    Is there someone you can really talk to? I know you're feeling let down by those around you, but if there is someone please take that step. I've been in a similar place and found that once I'd had the courage to talk about it that what I thought was wrong was just symptoms of something else. I don't mean medical, just one thing I needed to change in my life (now referred to as the ex!) to be able to move on and feel like I was living rather than existing...

    If you want to PM me about this I'm happy to help. Sometimes a stranger is the best frined you can have at times like this as they aren't into the detail of your life.
