Hi, my name is Ember74!

Hi I’m new here,

Ive been through a rough time lately with myself and my husband being made redundant from the same company without any notice or redundancy pay. The fact that I was technically redundant was hidden from me for about 5 months as myself and my husbands wages used to be received as one pay packet with no payslips. I only got my p45 when I requested it from the company accountant and my husbands p45 still hasn’t been issued despite the fact he was laid off at the end of March.

On top of that I suffer with social anxiety which means I never leave the house alone, general anxiety which makes it hard to function some days, depression, severe butterfly phobia to the point I won’t even go out to my bin on really hot days if there are a lot of them around, and now on top of this I had a fall down the stairs some months ago and fractured vertebrae in my spine T6 T7 which means I now have a lot of pain like lightning around my ribs, the top of my neck has become difficult to move, I’m suffering almost constant pain in my joints and have developed strange lumps on the joint in my left foot. I’m also very tired a lot of the time and struggling with pretty much everything.

Anyway that’s the basics of me. Sorry if that was too long winded an introduction or if I came across as Whitney. I know many people have it worse than me.

Nice to meet you all.
