Running away from debt

spinster, I think that's cool.
Especially when I think about what I do when I'm stressed; I sit in the backyard and chain smoke. You're stress reliever is certainly healthier than mine.

Glad you found an outlet!!!

I'd probably smoke if I could afford it! lol I just hope that when I finally get out of the clear I'll remember these days and not revert back to my old habits. Shopping should not be entertainment!

Stay strong sister!

Thank you! Yesterday, was especially tough. My new bank closed my account (which was in good standing) because my former bank finally reported me to Chexsystems. I took a long run last night. It's actually turned into a surprisingly good thing (sort of). I'm working out payment arrangements with the legal lenders and the illegal ones no longer have access to my bank account. Now, I'm reading up on how to deal with them.

though the urge to run is there, you must find a way to get debt and therfore your life back in order.. god luck

i hope things are looking up for you.. stay strong you can do thiss!

If your creditors are stressing you out I would and they could stop the creditors in there tracks and buy you a few months and most likely settle your debt for as little as 20 cents on the dollar.

I was just thinking of that today the stress and how to relieve it. I have been on the computer none stop since last night to find answers but when I go to the forums to get answers and I have been checking all the posts, I can't seem to get any answers for my situation and I think it is because each case is different or maybe I'm just too dumb to understand LOL!!!!. So tomorrow I am going to garden and see if any thing comes to me or maybe someone will have an answer for me. I am determined to get out of debt though. I have been working on an IRS debt that is near done so I am happy about that. Next are the credit cards...

Gardening sounds great! It's snowing here today. April 29th and still snowing. Guess I could snowshoe to relieve the stress.

Hi,

This is to inform you that you were actually going correct with the remedies for relieving stress.Stress busters are important because creditors just want chances to dance on the debtors head if they fail to make repayments on time! To avoid harassment it becomes necessary for the the debtors to make some arrangement to get out of of the situation.

During a debt period one should keep his cool. Worrying about things is not a solution. And yes, Debt Lawyers are available to help out.

Greetings to all!

Before I entered this great website, I was really worried about the all of my accumulated dumb debt and how I was going to deal with it.

Part of my stress busting was to actually absorb all of the settlement posts.
Another part was the actually planning to destroy my debt.

My stress was 99% gone after the first settlement with chase.
I knew that my journey would be successful because of this forum.

1. Take ownership of the debt.
2. Divorce the debt.
3. Destroy the debt.

And now it's all about helping out others.
Which is a really great stress busting activity and pay it forward thing.

I too began walking....I have walked and walked....that has help. I have also yelled a lot (LOL). i think it is good to talk about the emotional stress and toll that these situations of debt have taken on us and what we can do to relieve that stress in a health manner. I also find that this board has helped me tremendously....as has anyone who has responded to me. NOw I just need to take the time to re-register and get my name back up (LOL)....anyway thanks for this thread!

Finding this forum has been so helpful for me. I, too, have found walking and working out to be so calming. A big part of this debt settlement process has been waiting and being patient. It's so stressful, but after working out, I have a calmness about me and think everything will be okay.

Thanks for the reminder!

First, I'd prefer to "work" than to "walk," but walking & exercise IS great for (@ least) getting away from the stress.
