Sorry you're feeling so drained @Catherine21. London can be an overwhelming place to be at the best of times, and there is so much wealth on display in some areas. I can totally understand why you might feel affected by seeing things like that.
I bet your daughter really appreciated your support, it's a really nice thing that you went with her even though it was difficult for you. Hope you can rest up today, take it easy ❤️

Hi @Catherine21 You did really well going with your daughter to support her. Your daughter must have been very happy for you to be with her. I am sorry it has made you so unsettled with your own life. Please take care of yourself.

You are not a failure.
Its not your fault you are unwell and suffering.
You sound like a kind caring person, willing to help others.

wealth - I live in Sussex and Know a fair few with money and all but one are arrogant, ignorant and think they are special. I have no time for them, in fact I am trying to move to south Wales and that is one of the reasons I can't stand that sort of person.
London - I hate London, especially as I got lost on a school trip around madame Tussauds and the planetarium in 1995 age just 13. It's too noisy,Crowded and I can't stand the place haven't been there since being discharged by the maudsley hospital Tourettes specialist Dr heyman in 2001.
Body Image etc - I have always been paranoid about my looks and weight (although I've lost 2 stone this year) and got major issues with self worth.
Today - What you did was very kind and thoughtful and I'm sure your daughter appreciated you putting her first and supporting her.

Wealth is what you make it, to some it is the flash cars and flashing the cash. To others it's a loving family, try not to compare yourself to other people's standards of living or whatever.
I know what you mean about the DWP, I feel like I have a target on my back, I too can't hold a job down (even before I went into burnout and onto LCW). I think that we have to just keep being persistent. It took me 2 1/2 years to get LCWRA, after a MR and 2 tribunals, but I got it eventually. I think they try and wear people down to give in, but you clearly struggle too much to work, so try not to let it make you worse and just know that you are justified to be on benefits, we shouldn't have to validate ourselves so much, but we are validated. (I don't know if that makes sense).
I hope you feel better.

Not had a payment yet, but hopefully soon.
Glad everything I said made sense.
Looking at the world like a child, can be a good thing though. In the sense that you can see things in a way that's not tainted by adult fears and such.
I just got up after a decent sleep and went out in the sunshine this morning, so pretty good weekend so far, thank you. Hope you do too.
