Debt level

Jackmessedup

Struggling mentally today with the level of our debts. I had a conversation with Stephchange e yesterday just to see if there was anything that could be done for us. The lady was lovely and explained that as we are able to meet our repayments, we would not be eligible for any sort of debt solution, even if some of the interest is high.kn During the conversation she said somerhing along the lines of.. "although you debt is quite high"..... Now I know it high, however I suffer with some anxiety and this has made me stressed. 

I know our debts are high but when I am feeling stressed and anxious I often blow it our of proportion. Nobody really talks about debt in real life so I beat myself up that nobody owes as much as we do. 
 
How common is it for couples to have debts of our level (60k+)? Is it common but hidden, or are we an extreme case?

On the upper level, but by no means "extreme" judging by threads on here.

You need to understand how you got into this and what caused that and think of a way out.

Put an SOA (statement of affairs) on here and some brainy people will look and offer some immediate and short term solutions, all being well.

I understand Anxiety, but it won't pay the debts off, sometimes facing these issues can actually help.

Good luck on your journey,

OP, would you please just stick to one thread per subject in future, as per forum rules.

That way people don`t get confused, and/or give the same information on duplicate threads.

Thanks.
