My (long) bankrupcy story...so far

Dear All
I just wanted to update. Even though I dont post often, I do come onto the forum everyday but I cant log in from work so cant post replies. Anyway, due to the snow I am working from home today.
It is my 30th birthday next Monday, 9th Feb and on the 11th Feb last year was the date that I went bankrupt. I just wanted to get accross a message to all of you that are currently going through what I went through. I find it hard to believe that it has been a year and how different I feel now and how bloo*y awful I felt then.
It was without doubt one of the hardest things I have ever had to do and at te etime i was so, so so scared - I wont go into all of that, you can see it from my story. But, after being discharged back in August it really was a fresh start. There is light at the end of the tunnel, this forum is a mountain of support and I could not have done it with out using the knowledge and experiences of the posters on here, so thanks. I often wonder now where I got the strength and courage to do it a year ago and wonder if I could go through it all again - not sure, but it does get better, the calls do stop, the letters do stop, people dont generally judge you and you will find yourself in a much better, financially stable less stressed place for having been through it.
I will still continue to lurk and offer advice where I can, thank you to everyone and good luck to those going through it now.
