From people who came through it
“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. Check what benefits you can get. I'd been missing out on loads so go slowly.”
Tired dad in Newark · been through debt and money stress“I was sure I'd never feel norml again. I was wrong. I take it a week at a time. A day at a time was too much pressure somehow. Keep going, even slowly.”
Eil · been through debt and money stress“You are going to do the math in your head at 2am and it will make you feel sick. Do it anyway in the daylight, with a pencil. The adviser did not make me feel small. Bring the letters. All of them, even the ones you hid in the drawer. You did the thing that felt shameful and you can say it out loud now, and the saying is the start. It will not be fixed next week. It will be a plan. A plan has a date.”
Blue Anchor · been through debt and money stress“Dear stranger, this time last year I was exactly where you are. It was minimum payments forever and I couldn't see past it. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.”
