Firstly thank you 😊

Secondly, I absolutely do not wish you were a different person. Every time I see both your name and profile pic it makes me smile - they are both so brightening in the world 😊❤️ 
I think you might need some help if things are really starting to look that dark. The Samaritans are always available - I’ve rung them myself in the past when alone and scared and they were lovely. 

Sending hugs, big glittery, sunshiney ones

Today was my first NSD for March! Tomorrow it will not be, as I have plans for a pub lunch with friends after a dog walk, so I’ll report back (hopefully) Monday.

Today has been a bit off, first I went over my budgeted spending money with buying snacks 7p over money for the week (although it was a tight budget) and then I got a refund for something faulty Which I will get £52.98 back, then out of control, I had all the good options in front of me, and I selected to go into non budgeted spending for a takeaway pizza. I think because I am trying to get a treadmill returned I think I have money to burn which I don't and until it is finalised I won't know where I am at financially, so I feel at a loose end. I feel I should give myself the rest of the refund money as spending money so I have something if I am desperate, but try my best not to do anything else that is irrational. So that will leave £26.41 spending money for the rest of the week. The plan for tomorrow and I really want this is to have my first NS day and get myself in order. Maybe come up with my new aim for the rest of the month and reorganise myself, I need to see the treadmill safely returned and complete that part of my life. Also I haven't done anything health boosting, eating unhealthy snacks and a takeaway and no walking, I will probably end the whole saga soon with an untimely death, sorry to be so bleak, I wish I was a different person, and I believe everyone around me does too. 

It sounds like you are having a really bad day today but please don’t be so harsh on yourself. Everyone has slip ups. Get a good nights sleep and start afresh tomorrow. Start your budget again for the month from tomorrow and make it a budget you can stick to. Whilst spending nothing all month helps pay off debt etc it’s not sustainable and will make you miserable. Make it your mission not to add to your debt and pay off your debt at a rate which you can do without making yourself miserable and feeling worthless.  No one is worthless and everyone means something to someone, the world would not be a better place without you in it so please reach out for professional help if you need it. Sending love and light to you x

@HotDog2020 just want to second everything KajiKita, Nervous1234 and ilovetea have already said - absolutely no one wants you to be a different person - I'm sure everyone here and everyone you know wishes you the absolute best. You keep showing up every day for the battle, which is such a hard thing to do. I hope and pray you find a way through when things seem dark. I have PM'd you as well xx

Hey @HotDog2020, I can’t see your post now,  please don’t be so hard on yourself, don’t put yourself under pressure to achieve anything. Sometimes getting through the day is enough. Hour by hour or minute by minute. Be kind to you, it’s always the best way. Your best is good enough.
