    I've never been in your position so I can't give much advice - but my feeling is that if you can't get back to work quickly, there is no way you are going to be able to cover those debts on benefits. It that's right, you are looking at going on to a debt management plan and receiving defaults anyway, so it probably doesn't make much difference at this stage.

    Well yesterday was good for me-

    Joined Quidsco and earned 10p
    Joined pigsback and earned £4.50

    And am looking at the open uni and other free courses on the free course thread.

    All in all....a good day and a bit of fun!!

    Roughyed,

    If you dont mind me asking and i know it is of no relevance but how old are you.

    You obviously have a supportive family and a great net of friends and youve done well today! But the crux of this is the job, could you not just do a few hours a week somewhere, try to ease yourself into it. Remember that you are great and You can do this! :)

    I hope you carry on talking to us on here and keep us updated.

    We are all here for you :) *hugs*

    Speak soon
