    Hope you are all ok. Myself, not really my anxiety is over the roof.

    Sorry you're feeling so anxious and they've let you down again @Schildpad. Has this happened quite a lot then?

    it happens more or less twice a year. @Rachel_Scope sometimes more. electricity , fire stuff and also sometimes council … so i guess three times a year. they finally came .. now the heater stopped working. i never used it or i used it many years ago, so he said that is probably why.. they use a pat machine so they do not have switch on anything. now he said it is probably dusted inside so he put a do not use sticker. Now being me.. anxious me now i am starting thinking if they will pin it on me and blame me for breaking it. also one of the hobs is not working i told him the other three work just fine. they are very old.. they only change stuff is it really broken. as it is cheaper to buy an new one than fix it. but anyway.. i really need to leave this place.

    rent goes up and it is not really worth it. this is very distressing but i can not help myself. i am always anxious. but i have no choice but staying for the time being.

    I'm sorry for how distressing it is for you @Schildpad. What kind of housing are you in? I'm wondering if there's some help we can find for you.

    @Rachel_Scope I am in private rental. But in council list. And it probably will take years until I am even allow to see a place..

    There's some information here @Schildpad which might be useful. Are the council aware of your disability? You can be classed as priority but it says it's still a very long wait. Would moving to another private rental be an option?

    thanks.i am band c2. so i think they know but i am not classified as a priority as i am not homeless. it is complicated. the rents out there are also pretty bad and high, it is better what i know in case i get myself into something worse.

    I know what you mean @Schildpad, sometimes I feel like it's "the better the devil you know" even if the situation isn't always ideal. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so anxious, it's stressful knowing you have an appointment sometimes but then even more stressful when the appointment doesn't happen!!

    Slept for nearly 2hrs which isn't really enough but its better than my usual 30mins.

    Feeling utterly drained due to the accumulated lack of sleep though.

    Just made 2 cups of Nescafe 3 in 1 coffee - 2 cups because i dropped the 1st one).

    Going to try and shower after finishing my coffee but the effort required fills me with dread.

    Also going to try and dress after shower but again the effort required fills me with dread.

    My 2nd UC payment was i believe due today but no sign of it in my bank.

    Just popped on 2 Morphine patches (one on each arm) so hoping they kick in soon.

    Weather looks miserable outside plus my flat is cold despite the heating on maximum.

    Aims for today: Shower and dress, take my meds, hoover, feed the foxes.

    I haven't slept a wink again and I'm exhausted.

    Its raining heavily here.

    I'm getting my hair highlighted and trimmed today.

    I haven't managed to get it done since October because of ill health.

    Looking forward to watching the soaps this evening.

    Morning. .. yet another day.

    I slept well but still drained. I think i might miss today's stuff.

    My anxiety is even worse than yesterday. I am scared for the future. I will see how it goes. Now maybe is better to get up.
