Desparately unhappy

  • Just want to say thank you to all of you for such lovely messages. I'm still a newbie and you've all been so sweet, it has made me feel much better. One of the things that I struggle with is the shame I feel that I am in this situation. It's difficult to stand up to creditors and be strong when deep down you feel that you deserve everything they're doing to you. When I'm on this site, I don't feel as lonely.

    Everything feels out of control at the moment, but I hope that I can help others as well whenever I can.

    Thank you. You're all :A xx

  • Everyone has those days, even when your paying debts each month it just feels like they never gonna go down. There are people out there who are in huge amounts of debt, worse than you and don't even care, to them credit cards are "free" money. Your doing something about it. Just make sure you still treat yourself, even just to a magazine or something you enjoy so it doesn't feel like it's all a waste of time. Remember it's never that bad. Life is great and this is just a little hurdle to get over. It may seem sad but finding money saving ways and bagging bargains can be fun!
