  • Hiya skintchick, you've started to eat the elephant. You know? One bite at a time:

    QUOTE]I've had a bath and done some housework and feel a bit more positive now.[/QUOTE]

    Loads of these :T from me.

    Journalism's a tough field for a freelancer, my coz has been freelancing for about 20 years now but has always had a part time job for security and stability - worth a thought?

    Truly sorry to hear you're feeling depressed and struggling a bit. This is a NHS approved website http://www.livinglifetothefull.com/elearning/index.php
    which is an online DIY cognitive behaviour programme. CBT is very effective and recommended as a treatment for depression by NICE. Unfortunately there's a great shortage of CBT therapists at the moment. Might be worth a try?
    When no-one else is around to talk to - the Samaritans are always there and content to listen for as long as it takes about anything at all.
    Keep posting, loads of people rooting for you. :grouphug:

    Hey skintchick sorry to hear you are not doing so well today, have a hug from me and I hope you feel better soon. Good luck on the job front and look after yourself and your mum and nan too.:grouphug:

    I love how you always motivate the people on Debt free wannabe board, you are always so positive so I know you can get where you want to be. Forget today, give yourself a break and enjoy the weekend, take some Nightol to relax at bedtime and have a good sleep in your nice comfy bed.

    I know you can make a go of your freelancing :T

  • Hope things are feeling a bit better today! :kisses:
    It's only a suggestion but have you thought about writing about your debt experiences and how you're overcoming them?? If you write it as an ongoing feature, but start from the beginning of your problems (ie backdate it a bit), it could go on for months!!
    I know that I have been inspired by most of what I read in these posts, and much as I love my computer, it'd be better for my eyes if I could read it in a magazine!!!
    Wishing you all the success for the future
