To all the lurkers to afraid or ashamed to post

Please post, if you need help ask for it as it says we are not here to judge we are here to help. Too many people are struggling on their own and sadly as we have seen earlier today some people end up taking their own life.
It doesn't matter how you got into debt, your life, health and wellbeing are what matters most.
As you can see if you are reading we are not all full of debt horror stories and stress. Most of the time people just talk and have a laugh. There are no stupid question, no amount of debt is too small or too large to get help with.

I'm sure someone else could have written this better but welcome.

    I love MSE and posting on the board makes me see what's what with my finances and face up to them. Like it says in my signature I'm Proud to be Dealing with My Debt (even though it's gone up a bit this month - usually this would stress me but thanks to this w/site I feel like I can get back in control).

    Thank you to all you fantastic people and those who we haven't met yet - we look forward to meeting you soon.

    Been reading through this thread and spotted southernuscuisine and Mrs Sparkle's debt footnote on your posts. Just wondering how on earth are you two managing to tick over with your debt.

    Im not sure even Prozac would help me chill out at the mo!!

    And bravo too all you who frequent this board, you may not know it but your all a great support, just being their has taken a load of worry off my mind!
