You need a couple days off I think - maybe do something you enjoy and try to put down the stuff that's stressing you, just don't think about it for a few. Probably not as easy as it sounds, and I would probably feel the same way.
There was a great-uncle or grandfather type in my family once who was in debt. this was probably back in the thirties or forties. In bed at night his wife say she was worried about the money they owed and he would say: We'll pay back what we can, when we can. For now let's let the creditors worry about when they'll get paid, instead.
Hang in there man -

I feel that way alot, and I go through cycles of depression then happiness. and Ive come to just look at my family and know that no matter what collectors are after me, they arent gonna kill me. I will still live through it. and I also think about how it will get better.
One day at a time.
works for alcoholics, manic depression, quitting smoking. Just dont give up, try not to hate and blame the ones who fired or laid you off and remebmber that no matter how ****ed off you get at the reasons of where you are, it doesnt effect any of them, only you and your health so why not make the best of it.
Hope this helps, and Hope things get better.

Whenever I'm stressed or depressed I take my truck out. We just got a foot of snow and I went ripping around and flying through it. I usually go for a beat run with it and burn a couple gallons of fuel.

Yep, activity breeds activity.
Or, you can do what my wife does...tells me it could be worse. Man I hate it when she does that.
My buddy, a few years ago, moved this hot chick and her 3 kids into his house. Didnt really have anyplace else to go, and they had been dating. Now they are with 5 kids, 10 of thousands in debt. He was laid off his job the day after his twins were born. Has a job making considerably less. He wants out, but where would she and her and his kids go? What to do, what to do.
So feel sure, your friends would fix it, if they could.
I know that if I have the right lottery ticket for tonight......all his and my financial worries are over, for a while anyway.
Therefore, the moral of this story......walk to the corner store for a lottery ticket, things could be worse.

Been there at one point of my life. The only way I was able to get rid of the depression and anxiety that accompained it, was to make sure I did everything I could. I started by calling all of my creditors, and writing letters asking for lee-way. It worked with most of them. Even my mortgage company gave me four months off (ask for a forbearance). It helped me sleep better at night, just knowing that I did all I could, and I wasn't waiting around for things to get worse.
Good luck K.Triton, I hope everything works out for you.

I'm not sure if you're just really stressed out or if you're feeling clinically depressed. If you're stressed activity is your best bet, it doesn't even have to be physical activity, just something that takes your mind off of your other problems.
If you think it might be clinical, there's a really good herbal remedy, called St Johns Wort that will help you get out of the 'blues'. I've taken it and it really does work, and there are no side-effects unlike a lot of the other, more heavy drugs you could get prescribed to you by a doctor.

Not you grizz
But the fact that here I am talking in two different posts,about two totally different subjects and have them both in my minds eye reflect back to me the same thing.My beliefs,and the real ironic thing is,that because of my beliefs,the depression that I get into in that other post would lead me here.It truly depresses me to see how many people in this world,would be willing to take someone elses life.And the fact that this view will probably never change.I had to stop and ask myself why I even bothered starting that post.the answer My beliefs.
P.S. that other post is handguns my .02,but you might not want to go there if you think God meant it when he said Thou shalt not kill
