Being in debt is making me crazy
I have been in debt most of my adult life but now my debts are consuming me. After I bought a house which in fact was a broken down shack, I cannot make ends meet. The real estate agent who sold me the house can only pay me back if the repair cost is 30% of the propertyīs total value, which it isnīt.
My credit card debts are out of control, because Iīve been using them to make ends meet and pay other debts.
Iīm fifty and alone so Iīm feeling really down.
However, I have taken steps to deal with the situation. I contacted a free service run by my government (Iīm in Europe) and put everything on the table. I now have a financial consultant who is looking for the best way to help me. We are seeking to consolidate my debts and she will contact the banks herself if they refuse me.
Still, itīs a long process and I feel desperately afraid of what the future will hold. Sometimes I wish I hadnīt contacted the financial aid. I feel the need to sleep and just hoping the debts will go away, which is silly.
Hoping someone whoīs been there or is in the same boat will reply.
