new name, you have been around the site long enough to know you cannot give up...Your kids need you! You can't put a price on life so don't waste any more time planning on throwing yours away for the sake of people thinking badly of you...They can't think any worse of you than you think of yourself! You are grieving for your Mum but I'm certain she would be very unhappy with the thought of you joining her rather than looking after your babies/her grandchildren! You can get through this!
I assume from the 'last straw' comment you managed to get your hands on some money & threw it away chasing what you thought you need? Your family can't get blood out of a stone, but a loan shark will get blood out of you as someone posted recently...It's not what you need!
I hope the follow up call came & you feel a bit more supported now. You can & you will get through this - ODAAT
thankyou so much for your wprds odaat. im feeling so much more positive. i did get the call but i have to wait a few more days fpr a decision on getting on a course. i did however see the doctor today who i have to say was amazing. she toitally understood gambling addiction unlike alot of others and has promised me counselling if the residential falls through. shes also gave me antidepressants and 2 week apart appointments to look after me. also amazing news that im viewing a house tomorrow. no idea how i will afford it with one part time job but i will somehow and im finally going to be free. its amazing the difference a few days makes. i can laugh at the old lady from samaratins trying to read her script. and being told to take a seat in a and e and someone would see me in 5-6 hours!. seriously something needs to be done about the lack of support for people feeling so low its a disgrace really. i would really like to big up satsuma loans tho who were unfortunate enough to ring me during my depths. i think i scared the lady who rang about my late payment with my tears and a lovely man rang me back and talked with me for half an hour about anything and everything and put my asccount on hold for 3 months. he went above and beyond and could quite possibly have saved my life. creditors gewt a bad press when we are in trouble but i really will write in and thank them when im feeling stronger. anyway thanku again for the support guys. its nice to feel that peoiple do understand when im being told daily wot a scumbAG dirty addict i really am x
Wonderful to hear from you 🙂
& thank 'rude word' you're feeling more positive! You've got a lot of hard word ahead of you but thank goodness you won't be doing it alone now!
Please try & treat the snide comments with the contempt they deserve, they're just words, not sticks & stones!
Keep fighting - ODAAT
