Been out of work for 22 years, losing my marriage through PTSD and ME and just living on benefits and now with no skills, chances of re employment I don’t think looks good but give me an outside job working with animals, wildlife, the Serengeti, yes that’s a good one, training providing but ex Armed Forces veteran, I don’t know. Constantly adult bullied even now and nearly 60 with no support or help.
anyone with any ideas, or just to reply. Will talk about anyone else’s difficulties mainly on the adult bullying and with bad mental health

Hello mickmur61 welcome to our community forum!
I am sorry to hear about your marriage and problems with PTSD and ME. I myself have been bullied in the past and it is not a nice thing to go through. I like working with animals as well, it can be therapeutic and I hope it helps you.
I would recommend calling the National Bullying Helpline which supports adults:
https://www.nationalbullyinghelpline.co.uk/contact.html
Here is some additional general information online:
http://www.mentalhealthsupport.co.uk/adultbullying.html
I understand that finding work can be difficult, but don't ever give up. Have a look at the link below, Scope offers employment support, the contact details are in the links on the pages.

Please let us know if this information is helpful and if there is anything else you want to talk about we are here.

Welcome to the community @mickmur61. Sorry to hear you're not hopeful of finding a job. Although your idea of working in the Serengeti sounds absolutely fantastic. Have you worked at all with animals before?
We also have a couple of employment services here at Scope that might be of use.Community Manager
