Nah, you're not alone

I only really felt like the weight had been lifted after the OR interview!
Good luck with it, hope it goes well for you :beer::hello:Save a little money each month and at the end of the year you’ll be surprised at how little you have.An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind0 -
Not at all alone- it all scared me to death- but once the call was out of teh way life has been so much better.Don't get strung out by the way I look,

You are not alone in being scared we all were. Took me a couple of mths to feel less stressed so dont worry if you are not experiencing great elation at this point.
For me the OR interview was disscussing all the "finer" points of my bc. I was so ashamed to admit i had got into so much debt that bc was the only option left open to me. You spend so much time keeping all the stress and worry inside that to admit to a total stranger where/what and why you went wrong is the most nerve wracking thing imaginable.
Keep in your thoughts that not much longer and it will be over.

i think the majority of us are scared about our interviews but i promise you, you will be fine, just try to stay calm & not fill in the silent gaps as this will just be your OR taking notes

Hi Julie
Like others, I found(still find) the whole thing pretty scary. My OR was really nice- nothing like I was expecting- but I felt really embarressed and ashamed when going into the details- all my loans, credit cards, etc just sounded so silly and irresponsible. In reality Im just yet another person who's got hopelessly into debt- they probably hear the same story over and over each day.
Im sure your interview will be fine.0 -
Hiya Julie as others have said your most deff not alone in this one! I had my court appearance & face to face OR interview all in the same day....was good though didnt give me chance to worry about what would be happening..I imagine its worse having the court day then having to wait at a later date for an OR interview...Most OR's
are human they just need to find out how you got to bankrputcy...but as others have said its probably the same story they hear dozens of times a day We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0
