It makes me feel like I am not the only one. It gives me guidence. It also gives me hope and confidence that I am doing the right thing. I see others filing that are not as bad off as we are and some that are worse. To everyone that contributes, you knowledge offers a level of peace.
I have made my fair share of mistakes. But I also started out on a bad note. I had $10,000 in medical bills that I could not afford the payments on being on minimum wage. By putting the balance on cc I could at least have lower payments. It took me 10 years to get diagnosed. I have a disease that qualifies for disability but chose meds (not good to take too long term) and gained the ability to walk a write again. My disease is very rare and the meds will only work for so long. Then I have to decide on brain surgery or disability. The kicker is I live in an area without a neurologist qualified to treat me long term. My option is to go into Chicago to an out of network dr.
My goals in filing are:
1. See a dr
2. Save for my daughters college. Once I was diagnosed and treated, I couldn't get to college fast enough! It was something I thought I could physically never do. Same goes with having my daughter! I paid for all my schooling and don't want her to have to do the same.
3. To sleep again. The insomnia that comes with this much debt is unbearable.
I pray every night I can file a 7. This would give me the fresh start I have never in my life.
I know that this is a lengthy post, but I true lily want to say thank you to everyone putting themselves out ther!
