I was depressed working as an escort and now I have finally stopped

DEAR DEIDRE:I WAS really depressed when I wrote to you because I hated being an escort and couldn’t see a way out.

Sex work made me feel so low.

But at the time I believed it was the only way I could earn enough money to support my studies, pay my bills, cover my debts and have cash to live on.

As a 25-year-old woman, I felt trapped and judged by everyone.

My confidence was at an all-time low.

Being an escort was stopping me from forming relationships because I couldn’t face telling any new partner what I did.

But you sent me your Solving Debt Problems support pack and advised me to contact an organisation called Turn2Us (turn2us.org.uk, 0808 802 2000) for help.

And you made me feel like there was another path out there for me – that I was worth more.

Since then, I have managed to get a new job, started a debt repayment plan and met a guy.

Thank you for believing in me.

DEIDRE SAYS: I am so glad that you have managed to turn your life around. You just needed a vote of confidence and some practical support.

I hope things work out with your new relationship
