Struggling at the minute

Hey there. I have been struggling with debt and bills and I really feel like I can't breathe anymore. I want to reach for help but at the same time I can't bare the shame of people finding out about my situation, specially when I spend every minute pretending everything is fine. I recently heard about the gofundme website and felt like starting one for myself, not to become free of debt all of the suddent or to get a free pass out of my situation, but to be able to take a deep breath and hopefully see a light at the end of the tunnel. My problem is that there are so many people also struggling, with even bigger problems, am I being an arse thinking I can use something like that as help? I am ready to be told to get a grip. I just feel so overwhelmed I may be losing my right mind.

Have a look at getting help from cab or Christian’s against poverty.

Speak to a debt charity. I can’t see how you’d manage to get people to donate to a go fund me page for your debts. They’re obviously usually set up for children to get medical treatment not available on the NHS or something like that.

Thank you for your time and replies. I didn't mention that I am living abroad and looked but apparently that are no such thing as debt charities here. I feel like a fool reading this, I understand how stupid I sound comparing with the bigger problems people need funding for.

Don’t feel embarrassed, the world is financially stacked against the majority of people these days. Other peoples ‘bigger’ problems are irrelevant to you sorting your problems out.
