You haven’t heard anything from me, but these last few weeks have been rough on the wallet.
Just before August ended, we got into a car accident that set me back more than 13k in unexpected expenses. On the same day, I was charged with a 2,500 Canva Pro payment because I forgot to cancel before the trial ended. I was too preoccupied with the car incident.
Then, on September 13 - someone used my EastWest Bank credit card for international transactions. There are two confirmed fraudulent transactions as per EWB. I had it blocked right away, but I was out d 49,478 ++. The other one didn't notify me.
And on September 27, I ran into an issue with an online payment, and goodbye to 349 pesos.
All of this happened within 30 days, and yet, you didn’t hear a word from me. Why? Because I chose to brush it off. I thought, "My mental health comes first. Money can be earned again." But in reality, it left me with a few scars. Now, I find myself questioning everything when it comes to finances. Trust issues? Yep, they’re here to stay.
I kept quiet, choosing peace over stress, but here I am, healing slowly--- or maybe not at all.
Should I be more open about my feelings instead of bottling them up? Have you experienced the same?
