Passion To Reslove

I had just come to the point where I had given up hope, that there’s no way I could ever repay my debt. A friend of mine suggested I reach out, and I thought I’d get some condescending person on the phone lecture me about money, but my counsellor was the most compassionate caring person who became sort of my own personal cheerleader.

I thought I had everything under control, but then when I couldn’t pay my rent and I had to borrow money from a friend, that’s when I knew things were not good. Having a lot of debt feels burdensome. You feel guilty, you feel ashamed. When I was told about credit counselling, I felt hopeful. I found them to be very sympathetic and they listened and they weren’t judging. They were just offering help. When I paid off my debt, I felt I could breathe again. Credit counselling means someone is there to guide you. You are not alone. Reach out ask for help.

I never thought that I would be someone that would go into debt. I felt ashamed, I was jealous that everybody else had it all together except for me. When I heard about credit counselling, it just seemed like the right idea. I guess the big takeaway is just how, taken care of I felt. And then very quickly I just felt very light as if that big problem that was sitting on my shoulders wasn’t just mine anymore. What a positive impact credit counselling had on my life.
