    Weather is better but still is too hot in my room. I hope it gets a bit lower . The fan on for too long is not cheap.

    @Elvisdog thank you. It is done. Now I can only hope they wil not give me a hard time and also I hope I will be getting the same amount I was getting. They will call to confirm identity. Etc .

    I think if I get a job one day I won't be telling everything I have because If they know every condition I have they would never hire me.. I can not see myself ever going back to work as I have too many ailments. And not one has a cure. Maybe the mental part but I doubt it I have been sick for so long.,.. very sad .

    Gregor Fisher is a legend. You might like him in the current 'Only Child' on the BBC.

    Morning everyone ☺️ much duller here today too, rained a bit yesterday but sounds like we're getting the hot weather back in a few days time.

    Nice to see you back @Bluebell21, hope you're doing okay πŸ’›

    How was the carnival @Teigr? Our local one got cancelled this year which was a shame as like yours it goes right past our house.

    Did you manage to watch the concert @Amberpearl? How was it?

    @Catherine21 I had a terrible anxiety attack yesterday and I am still shaking.. I am scared I am always scared I will lose my benefits. They move me to UC and now scared they will pay less.. this is no life. Now I read Tories will move the agenda towards really cutting benefits . So far labour can't because their own party members are against so they can not make the cuts or not as many as they wanted

    But the Tories really will cut everything this time if they win. All parties blame the sick for how the country is doing. Other parties will be worse. I don't think reform will do anything only worse. He is aiming towards NHS and making it private. They been wanting all parties to do so or.most of them. The situation is not rosy at all..yes I am petrified. Politically is even more scary. Nobody cares for the sick as I feel they see as as a burden to society . I am trying to be optimistic. But this is too scary. The system will need to create jobs sick people can do. I hope they will not cut benefits on purpose. But it is scary.... And hard to not stop thinking about it... It is better not to read any newspaper..…

    @Ranald you made me chuckle πŸ˜ƒ Any connection to Rab C is purely coincidental.

    Hi @Teigr we are a lot better now appointments are easing off and I managed to rid myself of terrible anxiety leading.up to the wedding. It's shocking how the mind can affect the body, never ceases to surprise me!

    Hope alls good with you and your family

    Anxiety and panic attacks are awful. I lay down in bed. And I cN not breath. I stand up and still is hard to breath. I am like that all night. Until I am so tired that eventually I fall asleep. Honestly some people will understand but many will not . This is not quality of life. And All the rest . I would rather work if I could but I find it very hard.. anyway hopefully one day.... Thank you. People who are healthy are very privileged. But is better to avoid all news. They want us to feel scared and live continuously scared ..

    @Catherine21I am watching the remains of the day right now.. but normally TV is just bad . always the same films. I tend to like the classic. When films were well made.. I have nothing really to see but watching all film4 films on a row. Freeview has some good old films.... But now any film will go just to keep my head busy

    @Catherine21 medication is not working for me . They increased one and it will work until it does not. But I guess is better than nothing.. I am considering reducing and eventually stopping then as mental health medicines are not working neither is the pain related one. But I probably would rather try a more natural approach but honestly is just too depressing.. but out of routine I keep going... Considering to start taking with my doctors. I will give this year. And next will be a new one.. Less medication.. will see will see.

    Now 5select channel 46 got Columbo. Same always but can't wait for the Time to go to bed. Tomorrow will be another day.
