Hi, my name is ADROIT! I'm 45 and Divorced. Severely disabled since I was 16!

ADROIT

I'm Physically and mentally disabled. I am getting PIP but can't get on the mobility scheme as of the two mobility questions, the first fails me as I have to use several sat navs and be prompted before by phone before I leave. I have no friends, support or social life, work or family in my area as all my previous addresses, my daughter whom is 4 and my previous social life, friends and previous work were are twenty miles away. 👎️

The council would not house me back in my home town and now I just return home to wash and sleep, etc. As soon as I leave my house I rely on sat navs and phone calls to get me twenty miles away. Then I can get a friend or my Ex to travel with me and guide me for days out with my daughter. I have to travel north 6 days a week to collect my daughter from nursery and see her. It is costing me a fortune in petrol. I know nobody in my current District.😒

I suffer from severe lower back pain, shoulder pain that is really bad. I have to walk with a rollator and walking sticks. I have a blue badge. I suffer from very severe Anxiety and terrible depression. I have cervical spondylitis and Post Covid syndrome. I cant manage stairs. I suffer from chronic fatigue, brain fog,😟 dysfunctional breathing, Poor concentration and memory, panic attacks, lack of self esteem and motivation. I have a long history of self harm several years ago. PTSD. Personality disorders. I live on biscuits and milk as i have to keep sitting on perch stools and lack the energy to cook for myself. I cant get in the bath and have a shower board. I have corporal tunnel in my wrists. I have previously had a lot of trauma and bereavements. I cant walk more than about a 100 feet and rely on my car. Crowded places cause me to have panic attacks.🚗

At my previous surgery I had referrals regularly to the Pain management service, Post Covid rehabilitation service. CPN's, Social Prescribers, the Independence trust and local food banks. I had support from Dads Matter and now I've moved I have absolutely nothing. no support from anyone.

My friends are all 20 miles away and I have no family to help me! I am in a right mess mentally and physically, Losing weight. Hardly sleeping and my G.P has done nothing for me. I get enhanced living PIP but only standard Mobility. I am struggling to keep my car on the road and pay costs , maintenance and fuel. I am over £40k in debt. 😪

This is so depressing I have no support network or no social life. My anxiety is far too bad to use a bus and I rely on a child seat in my car. I really need the mobility scheme to help me. I've tried appealing but was worried I would lose the lot. I need some support and help! I was given a decorating grant but cant do the decorating myself. I have no hot water other than the power shower. That's exhausting I get out of breath. 😒 My daughter is my only priority. 😳
