I didn't mean to scare anyone with my previous posts. I am ok. I have just been having a tough time lately. I've been struggling very very very hard with deep depression. I am currently working to take steps that will hopefully help me get back on the right path. I don't really consider myself a negative person, but lately I've just felt gripped by the throat by negativity, fear, sadness and horribly low self esteem.
Not helping matters was the revelation today that Family Credit Counseling Corporation (the place my debt consolidation is with) has gone out of business and they have taken $862 of my money with them. I did a Google search and read that tons of other people are having the same problem. I called the new debt place that is taking over for them and they told me that they can't fix the situation. The money was taken from my account, but never put towards my credit card as intended. I have been told my only recourse is to take the matter up with the Florida Attorney General. I have now got my Mom and a lawyer pal of mine on the case to help me get this problem solved. I will fight tooth and nail if I have to. While $862 may not sound like much, it would really make a huge difference to me right now. I have been worried enough and I wasn't prepared for this latest setback. My friend Valerie literally had to do damage control and come over to talk to me today. I was that upset.
I'll be ok though. I'm very much like Scarlett O'Hara. Not that I manipulate men or act bitchy, BUT in the sense that when Tara is burning down, the Yankees are coming and I'm forced to toil in the fields, I will simply make a dress out of a curtain, go into town and somehow figure out how to survive.
Yes, we steel magnolia types always make it out of trouble somehow.
Tomorrow is another day.....
