Hi guys

Scared stiff with all these new proposals that the government have planned, I was raped , contracted HIV, I self harm and have bulimia, , I'd be an absolute liability for any employer as it stands ,I'd never rule out a job, I just can't at the moment

    Hi @Gazmo76, Welcome to the community. Sorry to hear all you've lived through, that sounds really difficult and it's understandable that you're feeling scared. You're not alone in feeling stressed out by this, there's lots of members finding it difficult.

    We have a discussion going on over here about the potential changes if you'd like to join in:

    Upcoming changes to benefits.

    Do you have any mental health support at the moment?

    Hi Rosie also thank you to the kind people who are welcoming me to this site, people are really kind and reading some of the responses and help has given me faith in human nature , I'm currently on a waiting list to see someone on Survivors UK they have assigned me a care worker but she has been away with personal problems for about a month now , I see a clinical nurse each week at my HIV clinic and she is wonderful, just someone I can talk to

    Welcome to the community @Gazmo76 and thank you for being so open. You've been through an ordeal. I'm pleased to hear you've got some support on the way from a care worker, and it's lovely that your nurse is so kind and friendly.

    I hope you enjoy your time on the forum. There are some incredibly lovely people ☺️

    Best wishes,
