    @Catherine21 it is strange you have not got the letter yet. i was very frightened but at the end was not awful.. now i am worse off. apparently the unaccounted for from esa is not so in universal credit. it is not by a lot but is not the same money. i will keep an eye next month. i did it pretty quickly after getting the letter as i wanted out of my chest… i am not sure but if you are getting paid i would wait… but yes until you see the universal credit people it is very distressing.. but it is not an assessment. once you get the letter you open an universal credit account rather a very few questions and them you will get the appointment. if you got esa before you will probably get some together with universal credit. universal credit is one payment and new style esa the new name for the new esa you will get comes in two payments. but i would probably wait … as long as you are still getting paid. you will eventually get it. if you get pip that comes apart a different payment. you will be ok. but i understand you i just can not stop worrying. always worrying about losing them or the system cutting them etc..

    it is saved. so i hope i will be able to send it at some point.. i am into the habit of saving it befiore send it as i tend to write long messages sometimes.. now the system decides for some reason they do not like what i write. this is honestly very distressing. anyway..

    I was having a good day until I saw Christmas decorations in B and M and mince pies in Morrisons

    Benefit of the doubt on the mince pies but an aisle dedicated to Christmas in B & M 😫

    It's August FGS

    @ Grumpy1314 sometimes having a house make over or if you have a garden a garden make over, can feel as good as a holiday, when my garden has been done and my pots are done or ive had a decorator in i feel in a better in mood, (I have BPD to as well as co morbidity health problems. ) im stressed when it's being done but happier when it's been completed. Do you have any clubs by you? I have a mental health group which I've been a member of and who I've supported for nearly 15yrs, I've not been well enough to go this year, but i still keep in touch which makes me feel connected. Before all the cuts we did trips and meals out, I would panic about going but we all supported each other, and have had some lovely days out. We have money in our bank account to go on a trip fingers crossed we go somewhere before the end of the year. Anything like this with like minded people can make all the difference. I hope you feel happier soon, it sounds like you're already getting things done at home.

    Hi all

    @Grumpy1314 hi, hope you're well and good luck going into town. You can do it you're a good guy.

    I was wondering about what you said about groups. I'm OK with groups, I don't get intimidated anymore and find them helpful to meet new people, but I much prefer 1 - 1 as well.

    I tend to find people I get on with in a group, then ask if they'd like to meet up and stuff.

    I do the same on forums. Like I'll often PM people on forums to talk about stuff, not because it's sensitive, just it feels more comfortable for me.

    I think it's an element of when I have a conversation, I prefer it to be meaningful and not smalltalk. In a group setting I find stuff often gets, not intentionally ignored, but missed.

    In real life I also struggle to know when to talk, like I'm not very good at interrupting people and often worry it's disrespectful, but often it's your only chance to get a word in and if you don't speak up someone else will and you'll be left out. One - to - one it's easy to know when it's your turn to speak

    Have been away (not 'away' away, just ill 🙄🤨😊 and away from online) but feeling quite a bit better, I'm glad to be back! That must have been a bit unnerving @Ranald I do hope you're ok and that your power chair is stable. Thank goodness for scaffolders - a couple helped me with my garden, earlier in the year when my roof was replaced, were worth their weight in gold! I hope your Fifi is doing ok @Catherine21 and that everyone has a good day.
