Has your health suffered in BR?

You sound much better today. We all get down sometimes! August will be here before you know it.

We posted at the same time FYP, sorry didn't mean to ignore your post!

I think my problem is that I project such an image of happiness, I sometimes get caught up in it myself and then come crashing down with a bump when I remind myself that I am BR.......guilt almost.
I am extremely fortunate to have two healthy children, a lovely little home, a wonderful job and a great, big circle of friends. Then I have all these minor health problems and it just reminds me underneath the facade, is a woman who is terrified that she may lose everything through irresponsible borrowing.
Anyway, sun is shining, so walking into town at 9am then going to spend a day in the garden.
Enjoy the sunshine everyone and thank you for taking the time to respond.

leading up to it, i was in utter dispair paying out all the loans, credit card and catalouges that had built up over 10 years, and store cards. I was offered one following another, on the basis that others had given similar, eventually i was paying out all my grown up children's high disability benefits and we were eating rice and pasta, so in a course of 10 years i would say it was hard for me to keep going and avoid a breakdown, we were eating rice and pasta and i put on 4 stone causing very high blood pressure, the medication was increased very rapidly to an almost top level, leaving me in an almost stupor and unable to function, since a debt company stepped in and suggested a token payment to each, resulting in one phoning and as good as telling me a hitman would be around to sort the situation around and another telling me the bailliffs would come and empty the house, i decided on bankruptcy, i now have my appointment and have never felt better. Its over, whatever happens i don't care, they are gone and we are eating fruit. I have lost 2 stone sice February and the token payments started.
So no, but in the circumstances of the 10 years leading up to it i was very bad.
Bankruptcy is not the end for me it is the beginning.
