  • I just wanted to respond to your feeling suicidal. i can understand you feeling so overwhelmed and scared to death . but please hold on in there.
    it's hard to find the right words...my mum tried to commit suicide when i was little..it left me with some awful memories. thankfully she didn't succeed. if you feel you can't cope please go and talk to your doctor.

    I really do understand, i thought about it myself ,fleetingly, when i found out about our "money mess" a couple of weeks ago,my husband was keeping the whole thing to himself. it came to a head when he had commission and overtime cut,he could no longer even manage minimum payments. in a way i thank God the overtime was cut...if it hadn't been i'm sure the debt would have grown even bigger.

    we've been to the CAB and are waiting to see a money adviser. i'm very frightened but i know we have help now.
    we went and opened a basic bank account at the Co-op yesterday. the staff were so kind and helpful,no questions except did we have photo id?

    i'm new to all this but draw support from the people here. and, you won't want to hear it but you need to tell your husband.
    will be thinking of you.
