PIP - The Future
I've just received my PIP after a fight with the DWP lasting nearly a year. What a different the payments make. I've been able to pay for a private physio and am making progress for the first time.

Anticlimaxes
Have you ever been really excited or planned on doing something for ages and then it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment? I think one for me was driving a Ford Mustang … it looks good and sounds nice and stuff but it was not overly good to drive. It's comfortable and everything but just like wafting along in a boat,…

A random thread question as I can’t sleep due to overthinking so trying to write some of it down to see if it helps Has anyone else had to deal with doubt or rejection when it comes to their illness or disability or health issue? Does it even bother you if people understand?? I have gone through a bit of distress recently…

Fresh Start
Hey all. So just something that's on my mind. I've suffered with mental health my whole life. I recently moved and so much has happened in 2 years. Recently I've noticed something else.

80 years since D-Day
Tomorrow will be 80 years since D-Day which was a significant event seeing as it paved the way for the liberation of France and then the rest of Europe, so it was pretty much sowing the seeds that would mean the end of the war A little fact is that it should be the 80th anniversary today, but the invasion was delayed at…

Ahoy there land-lubbers! Our oceans, spanning a whopping 71% of the planet's surface, are the real workhorses of Earth's life support system.

Snobbery
Just a fun/silly question but is anyone willing to admit to being a snob when it comes to anything?? It doesn't have to involve expensive things, just anything where you are biased toward one particular thing within a certain area for no real logical reason For example if you only like a certain type of something and don't…
