Am I Daft

Hi Everyone

I went BR on the 17/11/09
I got an IPA but now in discussion with moonbeaver to stop this since my OH moved out.

Over the last few years I've had so much bad luck and some of you know the last few months have been really bad

But this morning I was sat at my mum and dads all upset, and mum asked me why i was so upset and the 2nd thing out of my mouth was because of my debt problems, thing is I no longer have any debts because I am BR

BR was 5 months ago and its hasn't hit until this morning I am debt free, is it just me or has anyone else felt like this?

    No you are not on your own, I have bad days and good days, but hopefully more good days now than bad.

    What i did was to remind myself each day i was actually debt free:T even though the feelings of being in debt seemed to loom over me everyday.

    Your feelings will hopefully get much easier.Take care.

    We were declared BR on 15/3/10 and I still feel like we are in debt, I suppose and I hope things will start to feel easier once our OR interview is over on 20th April.

    Mine was 29th and still hasn't sunk in yet; mind you, I have over 20 years of constantly being in debt to shrug off so will take time I guess.

    hi curly
    so sorry to hear you've been upset this morning
    i went br the same month as you, and to be honest i don't think it has sunk in for me either. maybe this is because money is very tight so it still feels like i'm in debt!
    you've had a rough few months, things will get better for you i know it
    you know where i am if you want to talk xxx
