Feeling sick

[mamaof2]

Since filing on May 7th, i am seriously sick to my stomach, all i do is worry and thing about this.

I have been having some krappy luck for a while now, and cant help but to think that something is going to go wrong, we have a great lawyer, and the 341 meeting is on june 9th, but i cannot stop worrying, has anyone else felt this way..what helps, i feel like i am going to throw up...all the time

I hear ya sistah! I am the queen of crappy luck. Sometimes it just seems to come in droves. Dang it!

So, the good news is, pretty soon, you are going to feel SO MUCH BETTER!

You are going to start going to your mail box and receive tons of lovely junk mail, and guess what? No collection letters or statements from creditors to muss up that lovely collection of junkmail.

Then, your phone will stop ringing like crazy with Hot Linda on the other end demanding money.

All that money you were paying creditors, trying to stave of the inevitable, is going to start filling up your bank account ( or at least keep it out of the red) and you can stop stashing quarters to save for the gas tank.

You are going to be able to BREATHE again, w/o looking over your shoulder wondering how on earth you are going to make that next min. payment.

Things are going to get a lot better from here on out, so relax a bit, take a deep breath, succomb to the financial decision you made by filing and look forward to your fresh start. No need to feel sick, you have a lawyer on your side looking out for your intersts and you are going to be ok, and in a couple months, DEBT FREE! YAY!

Thanks dingdong...One nice thing is i never really delt with too many calls...only about 4, since we missed our first payments approx 10 days before filing, so thats all good there. I just dont know why i cant relax. We are barely under the median ( i thought we were over), and we have a truck and motorcycle (hubbys only transp), and i am told that this trustee that we will have...does not like motorcycles (we pay 321.00 per mo), so i just think that insead of letting us keep itso he can get to work, she will try to make us get rid of it, and force us into a 13..which would screw us, since then there is no means of transp for my husband...the only reason i think this is because we live in MN, so come november, they will know that he cant drive it (we will buy another vehicle), i just cant stop worrying.

You are suffering from anxiety which is quite normal before and during filing. I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown from all the worry prior to us filing. You are representated by an attorney who knows your case; let him/her do their job and let them do the worrying now. If there are problems, he/she will handle them and contact you if necessary.

Mamaof2, Every one of us has felt anxiety over this major decision. However, the hardest part is the decision it's self. That is past you now. Sometimes you can cause physical anxiety by waiting too long to resolve your emotional anxiety. It may behoove you to see a doctor. Elevil, (ampatryptoline) worked for me many years ago as I was near a break down. I have used it to a lessor degree just for maintenance under stress (my law suits with my enemy). Prozac is not a bad anti depressant but PLEASE stay away from Paxil. Every doctor swears by it, but the side issues once getting off of it, are extremely serious. (Paxil withdrawal syndrome). Anti depressants take about two weeks or more to work. They are (serotonin reuptake inhibitors), a chemical swapped between nerves that causes that gut turning feeling and panic attacks. Anxiety increases this enzyme or chemical.

When getting off the medication, it is important not to crash your body but to cut back slowly and you will see, that you are healed.

I'm not a pill pusher, but it worked for me very well, except the Paxil that just about killed me getting off of that crap. 'Hub

One more comment about Elavil, it has a good side effect for me. When I needed it the most, I could not sleep. Take the Elavil at night and in 15 minutes you will be sleeping. That is a side effect and in a week the slight grogginess in the morning will go away.

I can relate to you all very much and I'm so glad you posted. I'm at a point where I think I'm losing it. I'm on anti depressent trazadone and I take it at night to sleep. I think I need something else to take edge off. I'm sick to tummy too. I can hardley eat. I lost a ton of weight. I don't think I need to loose any more though. It'd been so rough...I need to make it to the ct date of July 20th 09. I just break down and cry. I have no judgements on me and not as much debt as a lot of people on here. I'm truly just so scared...like you, something will go wrong. You had your 341...can you tell us how that went please? I hope you are getting better.I wish I had more emotional support.

[mamaof2]

My 341 went great, our attorney prep'd us very well, and we were the only ones in the room that the trustee didn't rip apart, so now the countdown begins...50 days to go, and we will hopefully have a discharge. Simple yes and no questions, but yes i was so nervous, i thought i was going to barf! AND i am still nervous, just not as much.
