Bankrupcy update...nearly 1 year on
Dear All

I just wanted to update. Even though I dont post often, I do come onto the forum everyday but I cant log in from work so cant post replies. Anyway, due to the snow I am working from home today.

It is my 30th birthday next Monday, 9th Feb and on the 11th Feb last year was the date that I went bankrupt. I just wanted to get accross a message to all of you that are currently going through what I went through. I find it hard to believe that it has been a year and how different I feel now and how bloo*y awful I felt then.

It was without doubt one of the hardest things I have ever had to do and at te etime i was so, so so scared - I wont go into all of that, you can see it from my story. But, after being discharged back in August it really was a fresh start. There is light at the end of the tunnel, this forum is a mountain of support and I could not have done it with out using the knowledge and experiences of the posters on here, so thanks. I often wonder now where I got the strength and courage to do it a year ago and wonder if I could go through it all again - not sure, but it does get better, the calls do stop, the letters do stop, people dont generally judge you and you will find yourself in a much better, financially stable less stressed place for having been through it.

I will still continue to lurk and offer advice where I can, thank you to everyone and good luck to those going through it now.

Princess9, we share a birthday! :beer: And thank you for your post - it really does help people to see that there is life after going BR, that you can move on and do better. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your debt free life for many years to come

What I love about this forum is that pretty much everyone is going through bankruptcy at different stages and the advice and help you get from people from all levels is fantastic. I read through the forums before my bankruptcy and it helped me so much. Like Princess9, it was a dark time for me and I'm not sure I could've done it alone. Now I find myself posting to help others from my own experience whilst I'm still learning what happens next. Good luck Princess9 and thanks to everyone on here.
