Keep going!
I know what a struggle depression can be in a situation like this, I've seen it first hand through myself and my mother in recent years. Stuff just gets left un-done because you don't want to face it.
The good news is it gets better! Once you see the benefits of this sorting and selling and you see that magical figure go down closer to zero you'll start feeling a lot better. This is a great first step!Egg cc - £354.26: HSBC cc - £380.00Parking fines -[STRIKE]£112.00[/STRIKE] PAID off : 0% Guitar finance - [STRIKE]£202.30[/STRIKE] PAID offBarclays od - [STRIKE]£800.00[/STRIKE] £690.000 -

This is going to be a huge challenge for me, but I seem to have lost myself somewhere under all the clutter!!! I spent a few days clearing out rooms 2 weeks ago, and sorted different piles for ebay, freecycle, bin etc. Then I hit a low last week and the stuff is still there in its piles, cluttering the place up even more! I seem to get days where I have endless energy so I get stuck in to these jobs, then the next day I hit a slump again and can't bring myself to look at it. This then depresses me even more and it sits there for ages
this so hits the same note with me, like you i try and declutter everything then just run out of steam and it just sits there. The good news is with time it does start improving, have a look at the decluter thead on the old style board, somes the motivation of just listing one thing gone is what you need each day.
good luck with the spending diary it really will help you find that £300 and just think what you can do with it.0 -
sorry to hear about your grandmother, i know you feel bad about having to get another loan but think of it this way, if you hadn't cleared the first one recently you would have been in an even worse position than you are in now. Just gives you a bit more incentive to ebay or find a car boot now.0

can you also try and make a little more by ebaying or car booting or something?0
