My Life (Part 2)

Mooey40

Hello out there,

Yet again I find myself not just in debt, but struggling with every aspect of life. I've had enough of living like this, once and for all, but realise I can't do it on my own.

The current situation: I'm off work long term sick with a spinal problem. I'm on SSP and at long last have received housing benefit. I live alone, have been diagnosed with depression, and have addiction problems with alcohol and nicotine. I'm in debt, obviously, and am behind with all my bills.

I've brought most of these problems upon myself, and I know it's down to me to get out of this miserable hole. I'm determined to do so, but know myself well enough by now that I need to stay on the case - hopefully by keeping this diary I'll be able to do that.

I'm determined to stay positive, no matter how daunting this all is. I'm guilty of giving up before the day begins if I'm not careful, and on days like that - particularly when my spine is playing up - I end up staying in all day, not speaking to or seeing anybody, and in true depression fashion ignore the post/bills/phone/everything.

So......

It's back to AA I go. Then I have to pluck up the courage to sort this mountain of paperwork out. I know I have to list everything on this diary, but god it's hard working out a monthly figure for things when it's all in arrears.

From the outset I'd like to make it clear that I'm not happy living on benefits, and have every intention of getting back to work and living a normal life. There's a gigantic scoliosis revision operation on the cards at some point, but I'll worry about that and bore the pants off you another day.

I think that's all for now, I just wanted to make a start on things.

My best wishes to every other Debt Free Wannabe.

Hi Mooey,

I read your life part 2, and just wanted to wish you all the best of luck. Having health problems is bad enough but with added money worries it can seem your drowning. Its great to read that you are going to AA to tackle one of your issues and all i can say is take little steps and face every problem a little bit at a time. I will look out for your next instalments and wish you all the best.

Good luck with everything!
One step at a time and just try and make most of them in the right direction!
