New To This Forum, Hoping I Can Find Some Direction, Insite, Help?

Hello,  I honestly don't know what to say, except that I have had some very bad luck.  I own my own business and it has done modestly well, however, five years ago I refinanced my home to finance my business and got one of those great (NOT) adjustable rate mortgages.  Long story short, the payments got too high and I lost my home in January and because I have a son and a daughter, I found that I could not rent a 2 bedroom, I had to get 3.  So, I am just really behind on EVERYTHING.  I was breaking the cardinal rule of never mixing business money with personal and somehow, somewhere I crossed that line and now I'm in deep. I owe water, utilities and cable from the old house.  I have a pile of bills on my desk.  I have considered closing the business but I believe that if I can just get over this hump, I can continue on and be very prosperous.  The business is bringing in money but just not enough.  Things just snowballed and it's hard to get my head above water. I don't know why, but this really hit me by surprise.  I am usually really good with running things, but this has just overwhelmed me and my kids.  We are doing all we can to keep our heads above water and just need a little help.  I am an extremely hard worker, sometimes working up to 17 hours a day and 7 days a week.  I dedicate myself to everything that I start.  I LOVE my children and I LOVE life and I am NOT going to let this dark chapter in my life take over, I will overcome.  THANK YOU!
