Need to control my debt

I felt very hopeless, scared, threatened by my banks at that moment because I couldn’t afford to pay my bills anymore for a couple of months. I trusted someone who borrowed a huge amount from me which turned out to disappear after promised dates. I didn’t have anybody to share my worries because I don’t want anyone to make me feel even worse thinking how stupid I was to trust that person. I’d been constantly getting calls from my banks every day, they were sending me e-mails, some of them even called me at work it was so embarrassing. I just felt like my life was over. I’ve been crying all night, and just felt so hopeless. I went to seek help from legal aid and went all over the place searching for help. I even went to this ‘debt proposal place’. The place I went to was asking $3000 for them to help me. I just wanted to die already and felt like this is all over now for me. Then, one morning I woke up, all blank and just felt nothing anymore. I was crying so hard and just wanted to disappear already. Then I just thought of going online and searching for bankruptcy programs. I did find about licensed insolvency trustee I didn’t really know much about it before or what their providing, but my gut just told me to give them a call. They did give me some proposals I don't know what to do with it? Shall I go forward them or try something else?

There are a few things you need to do now:

  1. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. It adds no value to your situation.
  2. Start looking for more income.
  3. Negotiate with creditors to restructure your debt.

gpck was spot on above. If none of the above works, you can restructure through bankruptcy court. I know #1 is hard to hear with how you feel, but you need to hear it.
