I have no words of wisdom but I am exactly the same! Even when you get time to chill out it still pops in your head and gets you down! (or it does with me anyway!):mad:
I find it's better to kepp busy busy busy;) so I am totally distracted, having an oh who loves to spend what we havwn't got doen's help though!:o

Yeah I stress worry think about it but believe it or not this wee board helps me I get to help others whilst dealing with my own stuff

And I am now obsessed with mse so much so I want to be a mad money saving maverick!

I find chocolate and sex work for me!;)

But seriously, yeah I know what you mean... I think that you need to turn the negative into the positive. When you start feeling down about it cos you can't stop thinking about it, do something proactive. Stick some stuff on ebay to flog, sign up for mystery shopping, do a menu plan, do something free! When that nagging voice comes back in your head, tell it to push off cos you have done your bit for today!

Have you tried setting up a spreadsheet or a little chart to help you work out how long it will take to pay things off if you didn't do anything different, and then another one for if you overpay / put mystery shopping towards it / sell stuff, etc?

It helps me to think about it in that way - if I know I'm doing better than I could be it helps me relax.
