If I worked I would not be able to cope with it, it'd destroy what little mental health I have and I'd end up suicidal.
It really irritates me when politicians say working is good for your mental health. Yes it may be good for some people's mental health, but not for eveyones.

Don't read it would be my advice. I actually don't see these media posts or comments as I am not looking for it.
I will look at a few places, but avoid what I call the gutter press.

My anxiety and depression is through the roof, as soon as I wake up it starts, I'm also helping my elderly parents who are struggling physically and they help me and I help them so it's really affecting my mental health trying to cope with it all. I'm on esa lcwra I think, panics me on how things will affect me.

Mental health bad enough for us all for months been beaten down by tories and I feel labour no better didn't mention us in manifesto and for months after being elected still leaving us guessing it's depressing draining last job I had I got done for harassment went on sick as boss was bullying me I left the job had breakdown and was phoning ex boss round the clock calling her names the lot was arrested I'm not proud of this but if I'm in constant contact with people ie colleagues I get paranoid don't want to be looked at can't hold information oh many other things I'm so drained from worry I lost all faith

All this worry about what this and the previous government will do has actually aged me significantly, I turned 36 last Saturday, whilst there was a storm ripping the fences down. Looking in the mirror sometimes I forget it's me.
I'm thankful to have someone to look after me, many people in my same position do not have such a privilege and they have to face this hostile society.
What concerns me is this growing hostility towards the mentally/physically incapacitated, in particular the mentally incapacitated, it's really simple, if the mind if gone then the body is gone, both have to work together. For the physically disabled their struggle physically can effect them mentally which is a double whammy, all in all different people react differently under emotional and physical incapacities.
Some people trivialize mental/emotional illness/disabilities and yes since the height of covid more and more people are signing off with Depression/Anxiety but surely instead of mocking them how about uncover why so many are signing off since Covid, maybe the trauma of Covid hurt them, losing loved ones, maybe the isolation of lockdowns hurt them…we deal with trauma differently.
Something has gone terribly wrong in Britain, as the country's money well dries up we're losing our compassion but mental/physical disabilities can hit anyone at any time surely it's wise to maintain a society which cares for it's disabled? I think many members of the public are short sighted and pay too much attention to the media who gets off on sowing division and hatred.
It's cathartic to type sometimes, apologies.
