Im so tired
I'm really struggling right now. I've faced many challenges in my life, growing up in a dysfunctional family, which has deeply affected me. There's a lot more to my story, but I find it hard to open up because I don’t want people to feel sorry for me. I often hear comments like, "I don’t know how you manage to stay on your…

Universal Credit
Hi, I’ve been on UC since 2020 and from my work capability assessment, I was deemed as having limited capability for work due to my anxiety & panic disorder. I had no issues then, but in 2022, I had a reassessment, and despite still being deemed as having limited capability for work, I feel as though too much is being…

Help me, help them?
I don't want to take money from hardworking people who are paying dreadfully high taxes because someone like me is forced to exist for no other reason than being told I must.

WCA / PiP assessments
Just a tip for anyone, due a assessment, remember the assessor is only health professional so a nurse at best , yes apparently they can override your doctor, which is shocking, but I would put them on them back foot and remind them they are not a doctor, or a consultant and have absolutely no idea of your condition,…
