Went BR yesterday

Hi all,
I went Br yesterday, and it was much less scary than i had imagined it would be.
I opened a Barclays cash card account in the branch this morning ( tried doing it straight after the court, but you need an appointment), and that's done
It felt strange, to know that I don't have to try and find amounts of money I can't afford to pay off anymore, and get a fresh start. Part of me felt very releived, part felt like a complete failure.
Spoke to the OR today, and have the interview over the phone next week.
Just thought I'd say a BIG thank you to all those who answered my questions in the last few months, you have really helped! It's such a stressful time, and now, hopefully, I'll get back to sleeping properly.
