Do I Have to Reaffirm on the Same Credit Terms?

No.  A reaffirmation is a new contract between you and the lender.  You should try to get the creditor to agree to better terms such as a lower balance or interest rate.  You can also try to negotiate a reduction in the amount you owe.  The lender may refuse but it is always worth a try.  When faced with receiving nothing, creditors will be more willing to negotiate with you after you file bankruptcy.
