Sorry what you are going through. We are here to support you. You are a valued member of our community.
I am one of the team of community champions who advise and help new members who join.
I can understand your pain we are here to listen .
One bit of advice I can suggest is small steps. I know from reading wish to have advice on benefits we have a lot of information on the website.
If it is possible speak to your local CAB office and ask for a benefit review what your entitled to. Make an appointment and go down.
They will tell you. Having some one face to face speaking does help.
I am a gentleman of a certain age and cope well with this IT. Even so have some days get a lot of confusion. Forget what I am doing. Need guidance.
Has to be simple for me to understand .
As for your Doctor are coping OK speaking and talking to them.
I know even myself have and can talk have anxiety and need the services of an advocate. Sometimes. That might help. The practise manager of your surgery should be able to help.
With seeking advocates that is some one to speak on your behalf if you struggle to ask for what you need. I believe NHS websites might have information on them.
One further point wish you well . Keep in touch anytime.
Please take care.

i am spending another day indoors hiding away
trying to cope with the pain.((
was very kind of you.x
I hope my post and @Pippa_Scope helps and eases the pain on this your birthday.
Birthdays are I know difficult days . I know being on my own as well . What I do my little tip is be good and kind to yourself. Make a special meal for yourself. Have some relaxation time try to think of things positive.
The big step you have done is talking and we as a community are here to share and care.
You are not alone. Always some one here for a chat. Anytime.
Hope what happens the rest of the day is good for you.
Please take care.

I am very very sorry to hear about that.

Please please accept my apologies!!!!!!!!!!
@steve51
Have been there so many times. Please I know this might help is to try to think of finding ways to be kind to yourself.
Loneliness understanding what and how it effects you mentally, physically is hard to deal with.
I never thought be this way and then thinking about the positives. Make some plans and ways to cope with these feelings and emotions.
Little changes to my lifestyle help. So have the need to get what I want to help me survive and cope. Signed on line to a lot of retail outlets. Useful to get anything to treat and calm my mental health state.
One of the aspects of my life is this forum. You are here. Always some one to talk to. If not make a discussion start something. Find that this community are not self centred.
We share and care..
Please keep in touch. Even if it is a few words. Be happy to talk to you. After all you are not alone here.
Please look after yourself. You a important, valued member of our community.
