    Thank you @WhatThe
    im sorry they will not help me (my family ) they wrote that i did chose to live here and they think benefits system is very good here 
    my mother wrote that i cannot visit them and that Poland is long and i can go somewhere else to visit but not my hometown 
    If i feel lonely i should buy a pet for myself she suggested ( my mother)
    i really love animals but im not able to look after them 

    its like a knife into my heart

    i did start to work immediately here when i came to UK
    i really loved England from the beginning and i had English boyfriend for 5 years 
    it’s really hard for me that im not able to work now and im ashamed of myself 
    i really did need to be with them with my family i had savings the money for electricity, food, for going to see the doctors, but they didn’t agree that i can go there 
    my brother wrote to me that if i give my mother’s mobile number to another organisation or charity who contacts her ( like it was in the past that Red Cross contacted her ) then my brother will call and to inform the police that they contact her 
    i did find a charity in the past , the lady who founded the charity in Poland  ( she has a disabled son) she tried to help me and she did contact my mother in the past  

    my brother wrote to me that i never had a brain

    I'm so sorry the relationship with your family is strained. 

    Please don't feel ashamed about not working. Concentrating on your health it the most important thing <3

    Hey Agnia,

    I hope you feel a bit less lonely and a bit braver tonight.

    Thursday means this scary thing will soon be over and behind you.

    You can do this :)

    I live on my own and am lonely too. Depression and agoraphobia and trying to survive on benefits means I don't get out much. I just received PIP after my local CAB helped with application. That was my third separate attempt to get it. See if your Citizens Advice can help.

    Hi Agnia,

    I remember what was so special about those 3 weeks with my mother (other post)

    She said she now understood me...in her 70's !!!! Imagine!

    She had never been ill, hated hospitals (after one night for her first child), had hated being a carer and was still in denial about her health but finally understood disability - and me!  
    A gift I could never have imagined. 

    Anything is possible  <3

    Thank you @WhatThe
    my family will not help me, 
    i was  begging for help 
    i live in hell at the place( very noisy) which is not suitable for my health 
    i didn’t want to use their money i just wanted to be with them because i really missed them
    i had money ( savings from work) 
    i was called an old woman who does try to move to their property, toxic , etc 
    they did block me and i couldn’t contact them 
    its really hard and sad for me 
    i remember crying and writing to my mother please don’t leave me when i was really scared because my neighbour did drink alcohol a lot he was very noisy and others neighbors were pretending that all is fine and my mother was asking me if he does invite me to drink with him

    I know from your posts. My family didn't (couldn't) help me so many times. 
    Mothers and sons can be tight and it cannot be all your fault, whatever they believe. That's what they believe but people can change is what I'm trying to say.

    I think you are brave. Proper support from local services and safe housing is always slow but it will come. 
    One day at a time, as you are doing, is the only way

    Agnia,

    Do you have a radio?
    Other people have advised ear plugs.

    I use my radio or plugs when noise is too much for me. There are different types of ear plugs such as foam and aluminium. I didn't get on with wax either!
