People with credit card debt often experience mental health and sometimes even physical symptoms from the stress that is associated with owing money. Is anyone experiencing this? Your health and debt are certainly related!

I think it is always tough when you have your debts in the back of your mind every day. I don't know anyone who wouldn't say it is better, from a mental health perspective, to have no debt at all. I think the best thing to do for people who are worried about their debt and health issues related to their financial situation to get control of the situation and nail down a solution so it does not seem too out of control. Even if you have debt, knowing you have a fixed solution in place should give you some peace of mind. The worst thing you can do is nothing at all in my opinion.

That depends Miggy. What is your current situation? Do you owe a lot? Are you behind on any of the monthly payments? And, your interest rates would also be an important factor in determining what solution may be best for your situation.

It isn't really just about the mental health issues, but it certainly starts there. For one people who have huge debt amts have a tendency to turn to negative coping measures such as smoking, drinking, or overeating, or even turn to drugs. The anxiety over these debts also causes people to lose sleep. We've all been advised by our doctors to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep daily, but sometimes thinking and over-thinking about our problems causes us to lose sleep, which inevitably affects our body's immune system, as well as our cognitive abilities.

When a person is in debt, all aspects of his/her life is tainted by the remembrance of it. It's a pin that bursts all bubbles as they say. It is understandable to feel immobilize or overwhelmed by debt but don't wait for the shock to subside, as time increases not just the amount of debt but also the repercussions of that debt--there are people who can help you if you can't yet do something constructive about it. Maybe talking to a friend or anyone who cares would help initially, but talking to a financial or debt expert might be the key to your freedom from it, finally. Why not fill out one of those forms that you see around and take the first step to solving your problem.

This has been helpful for me, thank you. I'm just passing by and I stumbled upon this. My doctor actually has told me to take it easy. I'm currently experiencing heart problems, and I still have unsecured debts that need to be taken care of. What would you suggest I do to take care of my bills that would allow me to make small payments each month? Thank you in advance.
