I know this is little consolation, Sundae, but I have personally known people to slowly but surely manage themselves out of $30,000 in debt (or roughly 15,000 pounds.) The numbers are very overwhelming to you right now, because they are yours, but they are not so huge in the grand scheme of things.

I think that a grocery store shift would be a really good idea, not just for the money but for the opportunity to get out of the house, socialize with customers, and have a personal feeling of accomplishment. In my mind, your biggest problems right now are emotional. Begin to conquer those, and the financial situation will be settled much more easily.

Do you lose any portion of your benefits if you start working, even part-time?
