Have you asked that your interest on the accounts be reduced? This may help. Are you paying only the minimum per month?

Bankruptcy may be your best option, but, I am concerned that you are considering filing because the creditors are "on your back". It is impossible to stand on someone's back unless the person is lying down. Stand up and make sure the decisions you make are based on what is best for you and your future. Creditors do not cut off fingers etc, if they call you simply hang up and if they send you letters etc., you can use the paper to start the barbecue grill. You need to contact an attorney to determine how to achieve your goals. Remember that a creditor is going to do what is best for itself and you need to make sure that you do what is best for YOU.

Bankruptcy is not the only option, but every choice comes with a price. There is no free lunch, and to advise you would require a full evaluation of the details.

If you want to get rid of your debt and get a fresh start, a chapter 7 is your best option. If you want to try to pay a portion of the debt, you can do a chapter 13 repayment plan.

Set up a consultation with an experienced bankruptcy attorney to review your options. Most bankruptcy attorneys will offer a no cost initial meeting. Without a whole lot more information it is impossible for anyone to know whether you have other realistic options.
