The Fear And Worry Of Being In Debt


Every day thousands of people are waking up to the immediate thought of how they are going to survive yet another day of mounting debts. Will this be the day that they decide they cannot take it anymore?

People from all walks of life are coming to the conclusion that they have no alternative other than to destroy their own lives by committing suicide.

You just have to do a Google search for debt + suicide and you will come up with some horrendous cases of people of all ages and even in the 70's thinking about committing suicide but concerned with leaving the debts to their families. Cases include a 58 year old Mayor and the Reverend Mr Miller.

They are in such a desperate state of depression that they cannot even comprehend the pain they will be giving to the families that they leave behind – and all because of lack of money.

What a sad indictment on the rest of society that people who are going through this terrible situation, feel that they have no alternative. We have all been guilty at some time in our lives of judging a situation through our own ignorance.

In a lot of cases, they cannot comprehend the stigma of going along to get advice from the appropriate advice agencies, on how to get out of the debt and this can be because of the shame they feel. But, if only they would put their pride aside, because within no time they could be on the road to debt recovery.

A very slight change in the way that a person looks at each problem can make all the difference between life and debt. If people could just detach themselves from the emotions of the pain of being in debt and instead looks at the situation as a temporary challenge, which they can win – how much better life would be?

Dear Ann-Marie,
I feel you have very important information to get out to people and would like to suggest that you find a stronger way to bring people into the sense of being able to deal with their debt and GET OUT OF THE DEPRESSION sooner in the article. And I think your case would be stronger if you have something more than "if they could just detach". My feeling is that people who are that depressed don't know how to detach and need a positive strong course of action they will feel they can cling to immediately. Maybe you can find a resource/report to offer that you feel has that kind of impact and offer it. Otherwise the very people who need your info and can benefit from it won't get that far.

Blessings and Happy Trails,
Robin

I agree, this is a very sad situation. I've seen this happen with farmers whose farms were being foreclosed on, too.

People don't realize that they can go on. Committing suicide only passes the financial problems on to your family. And they also have to deal with the pain of how you died. It's not the answer.

Very good post.

Thank you also for taking the time to comment.

Of course, you are right - they can go on, once they overcome the panic that they are going through and I will write another article on how they can start getting back to their original selves.
