i will try once more
@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..

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

I had a good day sat in the sunshine even though I was exhausted from lack of sleep.

@ 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.

Apologies for any distress caused @Schildpad your comments had triggered our keyword filter, so they were queued up for us to check. You should have received a notification when you posted that said something along the lines of "You comment is now waiting to be approved" which shows it's in the comment queue. Of course we only work 10am to 6pm, so they'll only be released during those hours.
The filter has had to be put in place to comply with the new Online Safety Act, so we are limited to what we can do, but we are looking into ways of streamlining things.
Apologies again.0 -
I think you're a strong person for being able to realise that about your old friends, and even more so for not denying the situation.
I'm sure you've thought this through already, but when it comes to insurance, is it an option not to have it? As I understand it, if someone was in an absolutely critical condition, most countries would do a bare minimum, before sending you away. Like I say you've probably looked into it already and it wouldn't surprise me if being insured was a condition of entering some countries. 🙁
This sounds stupid, but via a new friend I've gotten into cinema recently. It's something I never thought I'd enjoy (at first I did it to spend time with a friend) but now I like it. My friend often goes on her own and keeps encouraging me to do the same. The chain I go to is quite disability-friendly, as well.
Furthermore, you can often watch concerts at the cinema. I didn't get the idea, it seems like a cross between watching a band playing "live" on YouTube… but I watched a film recently where a concert scene was part of the film and it was great… I can see why people do it
I hope the fire brigade visit goes well and isn't too distressing. Are you anxious about what they'll identify, or more just about tolerating the visit with anxiety and stuff?

afternoon and soon evening…. hope you are all ok.. i am laying down in bed in pain. but overall it could be a lot worse… i have one thing coming up. the agency need to check the lights in my place.. i really really hate when people have to visit my place. i do not feel comfortable but i have no choice as they have to do it every now and then by law. so i do not need to be at home but as i do not trust people i will stay at home even if that means i might be late or miss all together the place i am volunteering on Wednesdays. they know already but i do not like to miss those places but at the same time i can not leave home knowing people might be in my place.. anyway one of those things only people with anxiety will get it… but i can not help it.. i mean if i see them tomorrow early i will just tell them to do my place first but i am not sure as they tend to be late. so i feel i will miss my wednesday volunteering.. anyways… hope you have a nice afternoon.. if weather is nice.. it has been a bit mixed…. raining and good weather… i hope tomorrow will be all nice just in case if i can leave the house…. i will see.. but yes i hate it hate it hate it…
