Seems like I will never get my attorney paid for....

[wantout]

Driving me nuts.

Mailed a payment today, only $100 but it was all I could afford and that is stretching it.

I called and let him know was told I am still doing OK, no one is messing with me, no garnishments or judgements but I am only going on 90 days late as well.

So $300 more to go and I can file. So it looks like Jan 2010 is when I will file. Unless a CC tries something like a garnishment or something.

Can you cut back anywhere? Are you still paying on bills you are going to discharge anyway?

[wantout]

I have cut back just about everything I can, I dont go anywhere, or do anything, everything is bare bones basic, if I dont need it to live, I do without it.

Hopefullly I can make another payment in 2 weeks, I get paid every 2 weeks.


I will get there, but damn it is killing me just wish it was over.

I will get there, but damn it is killing me just wish it was over.

You will get there, wantout, and eventually it will be over.

That's what I've had to tell myself at least 100 times a day sometimes to climb out of the darn black hole I so easily fall into over all this.

I finally had to decide to look at it this way: I'm doing my best, this is going to take as long as it takes, so the only choice I have is how I spend the time between "here" and "there". It became clear that if I didn't make this mind switch, I'd be so depressed by the time my fresh start finally arrived that I wouldn't even recognize it. And I'd be too much of a mess to enjoy it anyway.

So I'm doing my best to stay focused on the things I do have control over right now. For me, that means getting healthier and thinking more about where I want to be in my life than thinking about where I am now. I haven't perfected it yet, by any means, but I am doing a heck of a lot better than I was.

Now if I could just stop sermonizing...

Hang in there.

I know exactly how you feel I retained my (1st) attorney and he was kind enough to take payments (ch 13, $4k total), it took me a YEAR to pay that off (some big unexpected expense would come up ever time I had extra $$)!!! I just wanted to get the ball rolling and file! Anyway, don't stress, you'll get there...
