So so stupid

Hi TTA,
Just wanted to say a quick 'well done' for posting on here and seeking some help.
Sometimes it's good just to talk about what's going on and receive support from others.
I'm sorry to hear of everything going on for you at the moment but it's great to hear that you're feeling a little more positive and in control of the things that you can be.
Remember to take some time for yourself too and give yourself a little TLC.0 -
Good luck TTA, you sound like you have so much on your plate at the moment. I wish you all the best in dealing with it, & am so glad to see you have lots of nice people commenting here already." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

I couldn't just read and run. Hon, my heart goes out to you, you are obviously dealing with a huge amount of stress. You've had some very good advice, but I just wanted to suggest something. There is no need to bash yourself up over this. OK, so you have debts. You can do something about that without turning it into a stick to beat yourself with.
Put it this way, if you want to motivate someone, you don't tell them how stupid they are, or remind them of all the mistakes they made in the past. Instead you encourage them, support them, cheer them on. So why not do that to yourself? Remind yourself that you are simply an imperfect being trying to do the best you can with what you have. And that's OK. Be nice to yourself, be your own encouragement and support. If you find yourself speaking harshly to you, cut those thoughts off straight away and remind you that you are still in your own corner.
If you are having real troubles emotionally, please go see your GP. There is nothing wrong with needing support, we all need support at one time or another. I hope this helps.Debt as of March 2018, £794 rent arrears £4273.7 debt, £900.70 in pay day loans, total £5968.40 :eek:. Total debt today £5968.40
