Dealing With Month End Anxiety Or Overwhelm

When I was heavily in debt, month end was always the hardest time of the month for me.

That's when my desperation and shame about money would reach an all time high and I’d start panicking because I knew I didn't have enough money to cover my bills and something was going to bounce.

At the same time, I was petrified of people finding out the truth about my finances.
