Thanks a lot for your response! I guess the part that’s hardest is that right now I can’t be honest with the people closest to me because they have witnessed my recent success at work and I can’t come clean in a scenario where one day I’ll have money, be comfortable, supportive and the next I’m struggling. These losses that happen in just a few days change your lifestyle so drastically that when you’re with someone (in my case I live with my girlfriend) it’s just so difficult. When I did well at work I bought a car, and now that this happened I can hardly afford to make the payment. But I can’t tell anyone.
I just want to have my head over water. I keep fishing for a way to get back on my feet without anyone knowing of my struggles but I feel myself getting pinned between a rock and a hard place. This is so, so difficult.
I believe that I’ve hit the point where I won’t do it again. But I don’t know how I keep my head above water long enough to dig my way out of debt. It’ll have to be a slow and rigorous process. I can hardly sleep.
