Reading this rings very true to home for myself and I completely understand your situation having gone through and similarly going through the same. I used to live and breathe my start-up, be passionate about the startup scene and thought my project was on the fast track. Debts mounted up and deciding who to pay first / last is somewhat stressful. I personally focused on paying the areas that would potentially come back to haunt me in my career first, I then restructured and negotiated settlement amounts. The surprising aspect for me was that negotiation is entirely possible, the small amount that firms expect to receive from insolvency is significantly lower than a settlement plan with yourself. I won't go over my specifics as this is about you, but if you ever want to chat or just some advice in how to deal with this on a personal / mental level let me know.
