Do you have an accountant? If not, find one. And what kind of debt do you have? Credit card? Medical? Medical expenses can be deducted from tax return. Credit cards can be negotiated down (to pay back pennies on the dollar). Worst case is you file for bankruptcy. You'll get some benefits through Medicare.

I'm sorry I jumped the gun with the questions. First off, I'm sorry that you had to spend all that money. It feels crazy, but it's not at all. I had a slew of medical bills in the name of redemption.... I never actually added them up (and they keep coming). I'm actually afraid to put a number to it!! But there are a lot of ways to climb out of the money pit. It sucks, but you can do it. An accountant helped me out. Talking with my credit card companies helped too. If it's medical bill debt, check for your state... some can't ever put that balance owed on your credit report.
And breathe.
