My Mom uses support/compression socks from Jobst to help keep her venus stasis from leading to edema. Jobst these days is about 18 bucks a pair. Is there another brand anyone can rec that is less expensive that would provide the same level of support/compression?

I know of no brands that are cheaper than that, compression hose are damned expensive.

Can I get some calm~ma? I'm trying not to freak out/beat myself up over being several thousand in debt. I'm managing it, but it will take a few years to pay down, and I'm still tweaking my budget to make sure I don't get back into debt.
I'm kicking myself because it took a good two years to get into this situation and it was only a few months ago that I got past the denial and started dealing with it. That's what's making me want to beat myself up. I feel like a shitty person for having gotten into this situation and for not having done something to get out of it sooner.

Unless you're learning coping and organizational strategies from your contemplation of the past, let it go (let it go-o!) Yeah, easy as saying it, I know.

Oh, Anne, that doesn't make you a shitty person. Avoiding dealing with financial stress and bullshit isn't the most mature thing to do, but I bet every person here has stuck their fingers in their ears chanting LALALALALALALA when faced with money woes.

It's the LALALALA that I'm most mad at myself about. I never thought of myself as the kind of person who would do that. It's humbling and scary.

Hubby was the lalala type, he deeply resented bills for some reason. That's why I took it over years ago. I just wish regular payment of rent and utility counted towards a credit score.

For me, it was more of an "okay, I can pay this off over the next few months" that crept up on me, and I don't know WHY the fuck I didn't start re-examining my budget right away. I've been working on fixing it, but for whatever reason (actually, it's probably because I paid bills today), the emotional part of it whammied me good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Anne, you're well aware beating yourself up for past mistakes is a pointless use of energy. You're learning and moving on. Sticking to the plan, once you make one, will be your new investment. And keeping a sharp eye on things so you can revise the plan if it isn't working is also key.
I'd be fine, financially, if it was only myself to worry about. The Other Human, however, seems differently motivated.
