P.S. That situation literally DID make me ill--I was hospitalized for being suicidal in January of this year for 8 days. I am paying off the bill at $100 per month. I work 12 hours per week in minimum wage retail. Even so, the psych hospital was the first medical creditor willing to make arrangements for an entire year. So I make sure to make the payment because we can't go bankrupt for another 7 years. I had to learn to let this stress go. It's very hard because it would stress anyone, but if you can't pay you can't pay. It's really that simple. If we get in that deep again I'll ask for help much sooner. Even if it doesn't help with the bills, maybe it will help me stay sane.

Good luck! You are by no means alone.
