Before I write today's entry I must point out that if I'm late to respond to your replies on my feeds I apologise, sometimes all I can manage is my entry but I will get back to you at some point, I am here to share and support.

Today was a tricky day, I was hoping it wouldn't come but it did (of course it was going to come) the message from my letting agent telling me they had not received my rent payment. What do I say? How do I explain that I gambled all of my money away? I didn't want to tell them about my gambling addiction as I feared they would kick me out of my home, I explained that my financial situation was bad this month due to rising costs etc and that I would have to pay in installments. I'm waiting to hear back.

I have suddenly developed a fear of the phone ringing and avoid it at all costs choosing only to contact through e-mails or messages, I will only talk to a person if absolutely necessary. I don't like all of this hiding away, this is not me.
