Welcome to MSE and DFW

Oi I saw that!

I should warn you though Angel that the symptons can be a racing heart, butterfly like feelings in your stomach and going weak at the knees!

Hello everyone. Thanks for starting this thread. its encouraged me to be brave enough to join in. Been lurking on this board and OS amongst others for a few months now.
Have finally realised i`m going to have to do something drastic about my finances. So hopefully will post SOA soon and run it past everyone for their thoughts on the solution!!!
Its good to join in for once, so hope to do more of the same.

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!

Well fortunately I have a good salary so, although my monthly outgoings are huge, I tend to manage. I've been living beyond my means for years and have only just started to spend what I get paid and nothing else. When I worked out the sum total of my debt I can't tell you what a shock that was- I was horrified, mortified, ashamed, upset, you name it. This place helps me to keep it in perspective and I'm actually pretty chilled about my debt now- no more sleepless nights!

Good luck with your own situation

Ifonlyiknewthen - welcome!

When you are ready do post up an SOA in your own thread and we will be more than happy to have a look.

You can definately take control of your situation.

Good luck!

Good thread - this can only be positive.

For anyone lurking and reading this, MSE is the best place to get rid of your debt frustration, get those niggly questions answered and tell your story.

You never know, you might have some snippet that we can learn from and that could persuade the NEXT lurker to start dealing with their debt problem.

We are a non-judgemental self-help community and I for one lurked on here for ages without posting. I took all the advice going but now can pass on my experiences and wish those that I am not qualified to advise the best of luck in tackling this life / relationship / home / work / 24hours a day problem.

what a great thread and so true

much the same as so many others, this website (not that I post loads but I do lurk) has been an inspiration and really does help you to realise there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

i've been helped so much so thanks to everyone! :T
