Struggling, but refusing to be knocked down


Man I am feeling pretty weak right now... I have been so overwhelmed with everything again that I haven't been able to get good sleep or get to the gym as frequently. And I just feel like I've been getting jabbed, punched, and stabbed by the zombies and they are just trying to beat me to the ground.

-I have to setup all the utilities back at the townhouse for an inspection and closing and it turned out I am responsible for $350 of water bill that my previous tenant did not pay.
-My Discover card got cancelled after they checked my credit.
-Every one of my Amex accounts got cancelled.
-All these unexpected expenses are popping up.
-I had to pay the school an additional $300 for an insurance fee.

I have been using the Amex to pay for some expenses and paying off the balance to build reward points and today I was at lunch with a friend and my card got declined. Well turns out they just completely cancelled my accounts because I am going through my real estate issues.

And this is on top of my breakup with fiancee and helping her pack and move out of the condo, a friend from the military dying a few weeks ago from a car crash, and the school work load just piling up.

It's getting colder and darker outside too. I know these times are going to be hard as my credit score is falling fast but I have to stay strong on my feet and keep doing the right things.

I cannot make any new zombies in my life. I know I am single now and I am so tempted to go out again and meet new people and buy drinks and party and whatnot but I have to control myself.

I cannot back down.....

Your not alone. We all get scared at different points. In fact I feel much like this now. Maybe you need to change your thoughts on what is happening and jump start your future happiness. Could it be possible that the closing of your credit cards will be a blessing, by protecting you from further debt? Chalk it all up to experience and let the lessons be learned. Remember your future can only be brighter, you have reached the bottom. You have a lot to be greatful for like that education you are completing and the degree that will enable you to look back on all of this as the greatest lesson.

Keep your chin up, you are almost there.

Hang in there...you knew some of these things were going to happen, they just coincided horribly right now. You'll get through it and you also know alcohol isn't the answer. Everyone who reads your blog is pulling for you, so please tough it out...

Ever hear the phrase it gets worse before it gets better? You're just in one of those spots right now.

You have come so far already - focus on what you've done and the good things that are still around.
