Can't give up

215 Posts
Hello All,
I've been lurking for some time reading everyone's diaries and thought it's time to start my own. My debts have started to have such a massive impact on my mental health I need to sort myself out. I currently owe about £15,000. I'm a divorced mum of three who works full time and I have to admit I've hit rock bottom. I even thought gambling was the answer and even though it's not been massive amounts I know that it's not helping repay back my debts. I manage to pay the minimum amounts of my debts back every month but just the thought of how much I owe makes me feel sick! I need to get a grip and make a change it just all seems overwhelming so any suggestions I'd be really grateful for. Thank you for reading. X

Just wanted to wish you luck and let you know someone's reading :-)
I know it is tough hun but I find that looking at debt as a temporary challenge to be overcome rather than a problem really helps. I find it so satisfying even when I pay a tenner over the minimum on occasion. Please feel free to tell me to shove my glass is hall full attitude where the sun don't shine :-)
Best wishes
