    There's always someone online here to talk to. Have you had a look at the coffee lounge like Hannah advised? There's always discussions and some games to join in with over there.

    I'm not sure how I will survive the weekend. I know I had failed. I don't have other support but forums.

    You don't know that you'll be refused. It's impossible to predict that at this stage. Do you have something else that you can focus on like watching some films, or maybe a series on TV?

    I know that it went bad. It's a fault of my personality and that I wanted to 'fit in the descriptors'. I feel completely unable to talk about my situation.

    I think I will be homeless or I will get a stroke or a heart attack. I'm sorry. This has gone too far for me. :( I also am not from this country so I am not good with your culture. But it's all my personality too.

    Need to survive the weekend somehow. Then will try to think of homelessness and what I did wrong. It's impossible to process something like this unfortunately. It's just impossible.

    May i ask why you're going to be made homeless? Have you contacted shelter who maybe able to advise you? https://www.shelter.org.uk/

    Because when they take away pip my housing benefit will stop. Poppie I'm basically going from organisation to organisation. I called shelter before. I am on a housing benefit. Council has stopped it in the past even if there were slight changes to anything.

    If the worst happens (and you don’t know it will) if your PIP stops it will not end your housing benefit. 

    Are you living alone or with a partner? Are you claiming any other benefits?

    I have bad personality. Unfortunately in here were I live I'm facing constant harrassment from neighbours who hate me for being trans, I'm being abused. So not having that pip will equal for me bad things. I appreciate what you are saying. Thank you

    I will call Samaritans now. I'm unable to tell them the whole story but maybe just how I feel.

    It didn't help, 10 minutes conversation. I couldn't even say what's happened.

    There are people here that understand.....my eldest grandchild is trans. I can't believe that you have a bad personality, but I'm sorry about what you're suffering, which simply shouldn't happen.
    Don't give up on the Samaritans, or this community. Tomorrow is another day where I hope you will see how much members here will try & help.

    I called Samaritans again, I managed to speak a little. I can not take day by day. Now it's minute by minute, I didn't say what the issue was, I wept for a second. My situation is quite bad. I need to take it minute by minute now.

    You do what works for you, that's all any of us can do, but you don't need to do it alone. It's good you managed to speak a little with the Samaritans. They will be there if you want to try again, and just say whatever you feel comfortable with however much or little it is.
