My debts are huge I and the cab explained to these debt collectors and bailiffs but still the harass me I am to proud to tell my family the final straw was a writ to repossess my house

Please tell your family, Or phone headway. That dark place you are in can be sorted.Please dont try and deal with things on your own. I think a lot of us after brain trauma have been where you are . I know that I was. I was proud too. But quickly found out that the saying' a trouble shared is a trouble halved' is so true.
drusilla thank you spoke to my ex faincee jacqueline earlier after i posted my question she cheered me up reatly reminding me what a plonker i was being and what ever these money chasers do what they don't know is that once upon a time i walked out of a meeting after being offered an incentive aka bribe of 1 million dollars no am ok now and looking forward to a solid few hours sleep and a day trip to belgium soon then ireland dublin for a few days around my birthday in january thank you so much for taking the time to care truly appreciated life can get lonley at times especially as i have never liuved alone more so as a disabled person without a love interest xx neil
hello neil .. so sorry ya feeling down although im not immune myself to those feeling now and again .. just offering some practical advice here .. the CAB should be dealing with these creditors on your behalf ( you will need to sign a form for that ) and if you get any other call from creditors they can be prosicuted for harassment after that .. if they phone just say you need to speak with so an so from the CAB .. im not dealing with it anymore and the CAB are. ! Anything you want to know i surgest you write to them .. and thats it .. nothing else
dont think your ever on your own ! there is support out here when you ask or seek it , ive been taken to EA by the police because ive been that down .... it happens dont be ashamed either we dont judge here nor should anyone else unless they have walked a mile in another mans shoes ... be good

BEING AN OPTERMISTIC FELLOW I THOUGHT I WOULD GET A JOB WITHIN A EA OF BEING DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL but nothing i even have tried to work pro bono but nothing sure i used to earn a lot of money and now i am poor but i have adjusted well reminding myself i have seen families in africa and india happy on a 25% of what i receive in benefits and they smile and laugh being refused physio by the NHs is affecting me health my legs are like rock all day and hurt like hell pills don't work although i do take tramadol for a backache which allows me some respite I WILLL TALK THOUGH MY OPTIONS WITH THE CAB TOMORROW AND A LAWYER SEE THE DOC AND SEE IF THEY CAN GIVE ME SOMETHING TO MAKE ME SLEEP AND PERHAPS A COUNCELLOR TO SPEAK TO
My husband left me with a huge pile of debt because he couldn't cope with my illness but despite being left with Bells Palsy after my last op I am now with a wonderful man who makes me feel so happy and really cares for me. Hang on in there, it will get better, and don't do anything silly for the sake of your children, sounds like they don't care about the presents they just love you because you are their Dad. You survived the worst of it, ou can survive this xxx

Thank you for your post, and very sorry to hear of the way you are feeling. The comments left by our members have been really spot on - I can see these have helped you already.
There is support that we can give here at Headway, we've responded to some of your previous posts but this seems like an issue that would benefit from talking through one-on-one with one of our helpline team. They can provide support over the phone, and discuss further sources of support, including local Headway groups and branches.
Please give them a call free on 0808 800 2244 between 9 and 5, Monday to Friday, or email helpline@headway.org.uk. Alternatively, send us a private message on here with your phone number and we can get them to call you (please don't post your number on the public forum).

Hi Neil
I have read all of your posts and I hope you would agree that your life is hectic and stressful at the minute. You seem to be making a good attempt at sorting each problem out but it appears to me that you are struggling with the pressure of it all. You have mentioned how little you are sleeping and I think it must be nearly impossible to function well (and therefore sort out your problems) after a period with so little sleep.
I strongly urge you to contact the Headway helpline, as suggested above, as they will be able to support and reassure you. The better you feel, the better you will sleep. Please don't delay, it is just a phone call and can be done before any of the tasks you have set yourself.
thank you i did e mail headway helpline earier today but no reply yet
my gp agreed that i am over tired and depressed has prescribed sleeping pills as well as promised to exert pressure on nhs physios to give me wht i have needed for a year legs stretched to yelping and an open letter stating my current medical condition that i can send to all my creditors pleading to lay off with the pills a decent 6 hrs asleep and a day out tomorrow feel sure will be more positive soon neil
update have been prescribed dosulepin which an anti depressant popped 1 an hour ago already working am drowsy hopefully more than 5 hrs sleep tonight ,,, hopefully
Hello Neil, I sincerely hope you managed to got some sleep. Realyy pleased you have seen your doctor and you have found Headway for support. Please don't worry about presents for your children, the best present they have is that they still have their Dad. My Mum had a SAH last December, I really didn't care about Christmas, I just wanted her to get better. She has recovered really well, still has some issues with concentration and suffered with joint pain and probably other things she doesnt mention but all things considered she is doing great. However my Dad then suffered a massive SAH in August and he is still in hospital unable to speak, walk or do anything for himself. I would give all my Christmas presents up forever if it meant he would be well enough to have some quality of life. Please don't beat yourself up, it doesnt matter as long as they've got you. Wishing you all the best, Helen

Hi I’m Mel but I feel way older than I am in the way I am right now 🤨
I guess I am a bit of a fool.
