I am still concerned about the disability cuts!

I there I suffer with bipolar disorder which is a 80 percent genetic condition and 20 percent environmental disability. I have been formally diagnosed by a doctor nearly 16 years ago now. I think that our current government has been very cruel to people like us!. They know we all have disabilities yet they still scare monger us!. I don't listen to the news much and prefer to put music on to be honest!. Its all rather depressing watching the news!. I have always managed to work. I did 22 years paid work when I was married and since my divorce 16 years ago I have worked for St Nicholas Hospice as well as caring and supporting a special needs woman for 7 years!. I had to look after all over covid as she couldn't read and write and had severe autism, a brain injury and bipolar poor woman and she went to a special school. I didn't go to a special school, I went to an ordinary mainstream school. I now don't work with her, as one, her family wasn't paying me!, two she came between me and my new partner and me and nearly caused us to split up and three, she was not my sister and as a teacher whom is self employed I don't have to have her on my books if I don't want to, as at times she was making my bipolar very bad! I had to go to the doctors to up my medication and thats NOT good!.
Anyway, I have now been going on like I do, sorry!. What I really want to say, is that the more people on this site that sign the petition against the government pushing us all back to work then the better! I have signed it about three times now!. So lets all come together and fight against it!!
