Bankruptcy can feel like you've just belly-flopped into adulthood. But here's the deal: it’s not game over. You've got to get your mind in Zen mode. That means deep breathing, maybe some yoga, or whatever floats your boat to keep you from pulling your hair out. You build a support network, and lean on friends, family, or even a financial therapist if that's your thing. And remember, after the storm, there's a rainbow - or at least there’s not getting calls from creditors at dinner time.
