Martin's Blog entry - Mental Health and Debt

Thanks Bubbles!
To be honest, I shouldn't really be on this board, as getting my debts down isn't my priority. I just read to be clued up on the DCA's that are chasing me. I tried to pare everything down to throw at my debts, but I just got more depressed because of never being able to leave the house and things. Then I went a bit manic and blew everything I'd saved! Being on here has helped me to live within my means though, but I'm putting my mental health above my debts, at least for the time being. When bf moves out (hopefully soon) I'll have a bit more cash and so I'm planning to save some of that, then depending what happens with my next DLA award either buy a car or slay some debts.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0
