Hi everybody. Just wanted to say hello. 48 year old male living in the North East of England. Have Maffucci's Syndrome and long standing mental health/psychological issues. Worked from leaving school in Local Government. Made redundant in April this year. Done as VR, but if am being honest they wanted rid of me (Am I saying too much??). Have had a bad time since losing my job. Have applied for numerous positions since. Monday 28th Nov will be only my 4th interview. Feeling extremely demoralised at the moment as I still have so much to give to an organisation, if they would just give me a chance. Having a job gives me a purpose and helps me manage my mental health issues. I get so much out of just helping/supporting others.
I do hope to get involved with Scope, discussions and the site. Am sure it will have a positive effect on me and help me through my current situation.
Best wishes.
