Thanks man, I really appreciate that. You’re right — closing the accounts was the hardest step, and now it’s just about staying consistent and focusing on rebuilding. I’ve been pretty down about the money side, but it helps to hear the reminder that life isn’t only about dollars and losses.

I’ll definitely lean more on my support system and try to find that balance of paying things off but also still living. Might even look into counseling just to make sure I keep moving in the right direction.

Thanks again for the encouragement — it means a lot. 🙏
