@Catherine21I am watching the remains of the day right now.. but normally TV is just bad . always the same films. I tend to like the classic. When films were well made.. I have nothing really to see but watching all film4 films on a row. Freeview has some good old films.... But now any film will go just to keep my head busy

@Catherine21 medication is not working for me . They increased one and it will work until it does not. But I guess is better than nothing.. I am considering reducing and eventually stopping then as mental health medicines are not working neither is the pain related one. But I probably would rather try a more natural approach but honestly is just too depressing.. but out of routine I keep going... Considering to start taking with my doctors. I will give this year. And next will be a new one.. Less medication.. will see will see.
Now 5select channel 46 got Columbo. Same always but can't wait for the Time to go to bed. Tomorrow will be another day.

Sameof I could drive I probably would get a van too.. they need to see no income from anywhere . I play lottery as well. And one day I will win. I have an issue with scratch cards etc . Because I want to get out of the situation. Not relying on these people would be great .. but anyway one day.. but I play on desperation as well.

@Schildpad @Catherine21 I feel for you. I have panic attacks too, I can't leave my house at the moment. I need blood tests done at the hospital for my parathyroid , but I just can't do it, it's so hard getting people to understand, my eldest son who has Autism and other Neurodivergent's shouts at me he is 33, and struggles with the same thing, but his way with dealing with me is to shout, which gives me panic attacks and just makes things worse. It's so difficult for people who feel like this, I worry about the wars in Ukraine, Africa, gazza and Iran and other countries. I stay up until the early hours and watch American shows it's Chicago fire, meds, and pic it takes my mind off other things I worry about. Although alot of people don't understand there are alot of people who do. Try and do what helps you to switch off, and relax. take each day as it comes.

Makes me so sad so sad the immense pressure I worry about what's happening in the world it hurts me I'm like a sponge I totally get what your saying that you can go for bloods just seems impossible doesn't it hard when you share the home and everyone under pressure this is enough to break a trained Buddhist in mind body soul this will never be forgotten not hearing so many stories of mps pushing back so much now I hope they do hope you have a peaceful day ❤️

@Catherine21 it is very hard, coupled with pain and struggling with things like foggy brain and looking after other people in need also adds to all the stress and it's effects on family life can make you feel guilty. That's definitely my normal. For several years I've gone down hil with l my physical and mental health. Being a carer to my lads on top of my own struggles has and still is a struggle. None of use claim carer's allowance as we all have different care needs, it would just add to the confusion. The state of the government definitely causes us more stress and worry, it feels like we have to fight for everything just to get by, the green paper was just a kick to our already difficult life's. Im glad for any wins and changes to the reform.

Going to my Monday's stuff. But it is hard to leave home. It is very frustrating to having to deal with another long day and of course i am scared I will be call this week by Uc. That I will maybe lose some of the money. That I will lose my benefits etc... every day is the same. Hard to cope

That's alot I get very overwhelmed and distance myself I couldn't imagine being a carer it's such a selfless job and the government need to understand people's struggles I've emailed so many mps they seem to be satisfied with pip concessions I've emailed and highlighted uc elements since labour come in mental health in the ground your a very special person caring for sons and yourself when feeling ill yourself your doing an amazing job pls 🙏 let's hope we get a break we really deserve to be able to come down from all of this decompress and be left alone much love

@Catherine21 thank you for your very kind words and thoughts. As a single parent I had to give up being a wages supervisor, a job I loved. My sons both had reflex anoxic seizure's, and later got their Autistic diagnosis, and other Neurodivergent's. I was back and fourth to hospitals. I didn't even know about DLA with my first son, until he was about 7yrs old and the consultant mentioned it to me. I'm sure we are all very brave and deserving people on this site. We are fighters for our causes and rights. Knowing I will eventually lose the disability transitional protection from ESA SG to UC in the future is a worry already. All we can do is to carry on with the fight.
