    @ResilientNeighbour7,
    Just wanted to say how proud I am of you for reaching out to your MP. That’s a really big step in the right direction and I know how hard it can be to ask for help. Look at you, doing it anyway! How wonderful.

    I also hope that your health eases up soon. I think there seems to be a lot of nasty colds around, though at least it’s not COVID. Small blessings. I really hope you’ll start feeling better soon! Please also remember that your health will always be more important than any interview, but I do hope you’ll be able to reschedule.

    @LCB1012,
    Thank-you for sharing your insights, too. I especially like what you said about going back to bed and taking an extra nap if it’s needed — I’ll definitely be taking that advice on board! About the quotes, as far as I’m aware, they should only come up if you click the “quote” button on a response before writing back. Are you having a different experience? Please feel free to tell me a little more and I’ll do my best to get it sorted :)

    Yes, I think I should add, just for avoidance of doubt, that it's probably not best to take a nap at work, lmao.  The boss might have something to say about that.  :D

    As for the quotes.  I had initially quoted @ResilientNeighbour7 's opening post, but when I Previewed it, it didn't collapse the quote, as it does on other forums that I'm on, so I deleted the quote. :)

    @LCB1012,
    Hahaha. So true! Thank-you for putting a smile on my face this morning. I hope that you get to have all the naps you need outside of work hours, anyway  :D

    So strange about the quotes. I just tried it myself and had exactly the same issue! Quite a few people have also reported having trouble with receiving notifications recently, too. I’ll tag @Ross_Scope, just to make the team aware, & fingers crossed we can iron out any bugs soon :). I know that it’s really frustrating and I appreciate your patience!

    Yes, I'm having problems with my notifications too.  I can't click on them.  Apparently, I "don't have permission".

    Horrible day guys! Enough is enough! This is why people reach their end but sadly I am not even strong enough to do any of that! Ongoing ASB! Have contacted MP, ho
    Bins knocked over again and the B****** downstairs have continued the loud noises, shouting, laughing, singing, misbehaving, dirty behaviours yes even at inappropriate times such as when I am in the shower, when I come back from work, night time when I need to and try yo sleep (do you know how BAD my fatigue is), my skin's getting worse (No wonder with all this stress), 

    What is the point of me goingout to train and do work to help other vulnerable people if al I get when I come back is the opposite of harmony?

    And the local coucnil have not got back to me anout the assessment care needs or whatever it is called

    I went to to the council offices to ask about but i am edpected to pay my GP £35 for a letter ti 'prove 'I have illnesses.

    Whether for visible or invidible disabled people, life really is far too harsh on the disabled community.

    I am still in debt, overdraft and other financial issues inckuding a very very very bad credit score and when I contact places like citixens advice and extra help unit they are saying apparently they don't helpeven though their job is literally to deal with when customers are being wrongly charged for energy bbbills etc

    Sorry to share but this is the final straw 

    I lost my dad, I lost my belongings that were stolen, I lost my time and I don't see th

    I will give it exactly one month from today. I f and hipefully people will respect, understand and support my decision because I really don't know anyone more resilient hence the bloody name I ahve chosem

    If I don't get a guarantee of safe, comfortable, serene living by the 9th April 2021 I will try my utmost to muster up the muche needed courage to end it all. 

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

    I am doing no wrong! I AM A GOOD PERSON WHO DESERVE (ESPECIALLY AFTER ALL I AHVE ENDURED) TO AT LEAST BE OKAY WHERE I LIVE! It has been just over a year since I signed for this tenancy and it's been a downwards spiral. I will not give up for at least the next month thouhg.


    It is difficult to not just share all the details ofthe name of the perpetrator and ( wish I knew who was pushing voer the bins and wish the hosuing association were less stupid ''you have to catch the perpetrator in the act in order for us to believe you)

    It's targeted abuse, what more can I bloody say!

    THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS ANTI SOCAL BEHAVIOUR even if it seem I am complaining over petty things.

    Why do we live in a country where the likes of paedophiles, criminals, rapists, murderers, porn stars, racists, abusers, narcissists, and all wrongdoers get away with atrocious behaviour and they are given luxuries yet hardworking people like me are trampled over as though we are nothing?

    I am truly very sorry for

    I now need to get on with very over

    Do you know what I am having to do. Take my laptop outside, pay for unaffordable cafes, or the loibray in the rare time it is not full, and try and get my work fone there! If I am paying extortionate amounts for internet and rent, tell me why I should ahve to live in fear jus to get things done? How is it that the outside noise is less distressing than what neighbouts are doing?
    I WOULD NEVER TREAT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING IN THUS WAY?

    I understand you might think I am being pathetic but I am mindful enought o realise that when any form of anti social behaviour is targeted , it is done with evil intent and malicious values! I am 26 years old and I am still being bullied, yet this is even worse than the traumatising school, college and work incidents. I am still contemplating suicide but let me get my flat tidy and write a letter and wait until at least a month before I do it! I know htere ae people worse off, but still no human should be subjected to this abuse. No one!

    NO,NO,NO,NO,NO!

    WHY? 

    And once again thank you to anyone who has ever been kind to me. Your kindness is even more potent because I have such evil to compare it to! But right ow the evil has tipped any balance and I am asking the world for a better life.

    Hi there @ResilientNeighbour7,
    I’m just wrapping up my volunteer shift now & unfortunately don’t have lots of time to unpack this with you in the way that I’d like, but I’m going to flag it up with another member of the team shortly, just to make sure you’re getting all of the possible support.

    I’m so sorry that things are this hard for you. You’re right, it’s not something that anybody deserves to go through, especially so consistently. But your life is important, even when it’s not always possible to see. You are doing so many good things & the training you mentioned sounds wonderful. You are making such a good start with that just by being here, on the forum. I say this as someone that you have already helped, maybe without realising it. It’s so lovely to feel seen in the messy stuff — because life is not always pretty, especially as a disabled person, but it is worth it.

    You are worth so much more than the words or behaviour of neighbours & any other obstacles in your way. Just trying is a beautiful, radical & brave act of rebellion. You can do this.

    I can’t imagine the pain of losing a parent, but here’s some words on grief by Andrew Garfield (talking about the loss of his mother) that have stuck with me lately:
    “The grief that will remain with us until we pass because we never get enough time with each other, no matter whether someone lives until 60 or 15 or 99. I hope this grief stays with me because it’s all of the unexpressed love that I didn’t get to tell her, and I told her every day, she was the best of us.“

    Lastly, as well as the resources above, you can also text SHOUT to 85258

    It’s really hard to hear that you have been suffering in this way. I have an adult daughter that has severe anxiety and stress so do understand. There are some things in life that we can change and others we can’t. I have had lots of health and troubles at work and read/listened a lot about stoicism. I found Derren Browns book Happier and the longer version Happy really helpful in to realising what I can control and what I can’t. The pressure we all put on ourselves is to have a happy and good life. However the book explores that this is impossible and what we should aim for is a reasonable level of unhappiness. Nothing will change the traumas that you have had to put up with and they cannot be erased but( with the help of these audible books) I was able to focus on me and what I could change and try not to focus on changing everything else I have no control over. It might not be for you but I found it very helpful. 

    Take care and there are more people in this world that care about you and others in a similar situation than don’t.

    06:23 - Sunday 20th March 2022

    Once again, I have not slept nor been productive all night due to a number of reasons including the trauma of still being bullied at age 26 by adults.

    As I type, the neighbour is banging loudly,rudely, unnecessarily, intentionally, repeatedly.

    Luckily, I am not scheduled for work today but I am not lucky at all. I am suffering. I am very unwell. I am very disturbed by the anti social behaviour against me.

    And even yesterday somebody insidiously moved the red bin forward to end of kerb, which I saw on return to flat. It is infuriating,confusing, insulting, disconcerting and upsetting. Yes even a seemingly small thing. I am a marginalised, pure, respectful, law abiding, brave, hard working, conscientious adult citizen who is already suffering a great deal so any such toxic behaviour against me is obviously going to affect me further.

    Whoever is doing the behaviour is stubborn, vicious, disgusting and many other negative things but they are still getting away with intentional bullying, psychological bullying, malicious bullying.

    They know that the behaviour they arr carrying out and somehow even a year into my tenancy, these people are getting away with it.
    I confronted the loud neighbour last night after upon returning from a difficult shift, 'someone' had once again moved my red
    Collection day is Wednesday just to explain so the fact they do this to my bin and mine only, right to end of kerb.

    I just know that they are trying to get a reaction out me. Of course, living alone, and the lonely bin drawing more attention to my property (they are doing this tactically, and knowing exactly when I am not in property because they are vicious ba*t*rds)

      Especially as someone who has been subjected to extreme and worsened hostility non stop since school years.  And this is the day after a very unfortunate work assignment, whereby I had to accomoany the service user to a pub meal, I saw my widowed,deformed, mother from the pub right opposite, whilst on a difficult care work task.

    Although I have always been heavily bullied, by all sorts of people, wherever I have gone

    The whole flat is still an overwhelming mess. I have no support in place. Neighbours, strangers, people of all ethnic origins and genders are harassing me, in subtle and direct ways, even at work. Even the most recent appointment I had at GP practise a few weeks ago, where a female Muslim practitioner was unfortunately who I was seen by, did nothing to help, and was a most rude, dismissive, hostile b*t*h

    I just do not understand! And no I am not being iverly sensitive. Whatever the reason/s others may give, I believe there is no need for such vile behaviour against me,and I am subjected to it every day.

    Obviously very tired but cannot afford to even nap never mind sleep as too much overdue personal work to do in too little time.

    I have felt increased pains all throughout all 4 limbs this week, painkillers don't even touch it. And I am very depressed. There is just no quality of life. I need and deserve better, tailored, dignified health care and  general support.

    In all these years, despite many efforts, sacrifices, courses, payments, journies, nothing has changed or impdoves


    Why why why why why do I still get bullied?

    I am doing no wrong...

    I deserve a better life...

    I am suffering enough daily...

    I understand suffering exists globally but it is difficult when others cannot relate to your complexities. And I just cannot convey in words how challenging it is to be pained, fatigued, skin diseased, ethnic minority, discoloured, undeveloped, have
    I once again think I've got Covid as well. I currently work in a home and we do rapid tests every morning and I recetly ordered at home tests, it's all negative but I've been increasingly coughing since early morning and I swear I've punctured a lung from how heavily or hard I've had to cough. Gosh I jist feel weak. And ghe othef symptoms very much are still present. Itchy,burning,painful,widespread,unsightly akkn disease, paresthesia and cold sensations all over and the pain. I would not wish ghis on anyone. At ghis point, assisted dying would be my dream at this point. Life should be worth getting up for, not but then again my stupid brain doesn't let me forget or ignore that others are 'worse off' in many ways and so I have go be grateful obviously. What a stupid planet

    Hello @ResilientNeighbour7 I'm sorry to hear how you are feeling this morning. I'm going to be emailing to chase up with your local authority today as well, and I hope you hear from your caseworker soon.

    Sometimes things can really get on top of us, and it's hard, especially when living with chronic illness.

    It's important for everyone to remember that often chronic illnesses aren't visible. This just adds another layer of frustration, especially when people aren't aware how much is going on under the surface. I'm glad that as a community we can all help support each other with that, and share our good wishes.   

    I'm very sorry to hear your most recent GP appointment went the way it did, that must have been awful. Are there any other GP's at the surgery you could speak to about how you're feeling, or even how you've been made to feel at your last appointment? 

    Can you tell me if you're feeling safe right now? If you feel like you are not safe and are in danger of self-harming or hurting yourself, please call an ambulance on 999.

    Of course we can acknowledge suffering exists on a global scale, but we can also acknowledge how you're feeling and how much you are worthy of better support, care, and quality of life. 

    We'd like to support you as much as we are able to, I'll be sending an email from community@scope.org.uk so please keep an eye out for it.

    It seems I am always going to suffer as I am experiencing no improvement whatsoever.
    I am supposed to be an adult, 27 this year, and whilsteveryone is different I have not come across anyone as 

    All I have done is silently cry and suffer further and am  in such hell.

    I am rightly frightened of and angry about oo manh things, losing my flat for which I have worked too hard to try and maintain, not being able go afford bare necessities despite being a universal credit claimant, working and having NO luxuries ie cars, holidays, kids, liberties, privileges.



    I have as ever been applying for more full time roles again despite no home wifi using mob data + hotspot but unlike normal people one applicatiom takes ne at least 2 & 1/2 hours to tailor application to.

    [Removed by moderator - name of housing association] are useless. I was told by the housing  officer the new one that if I ever needed help or just wanted to speak with someone at end of day,just email, so one day I did.
    He obviously had empty words and probably only asked to trick my vulnerable self into asking for help because I have since been offered no support also another professional they are linked with through a programme blanked me.
    It is like they all think they're more important, and can mess people around.

    The woman from the community employment support programme essentially rejected me too, how insulting.

    She made it clear she doesn't want to help me and so that potential employment support is gone and as I said the dwp can't even be bothered showing up yet if I did the same I would be sanctiones. I am a suicidal, aching, diseased, vulnerable, non driving, ill person who still drags out of bed, put in effort to get ready, prepare, meet commitments and show up, and I don't get enough financial support. They get paid what I am guessing is a lot and still can't be arsed.

    My universal credit work coach at the job centre didnt even bother making the last appointment and other staff couldn't care less. Why book appointments then not show up/ why not assign another staff member?

    I am really,really,really struggling and even the council 
    I didn't even get the winted hardship support and no one got in contact from them after scope have repeatedly put me forward for a needs assessment. I think they just do not want fo help but it shouldn't matter what they do or don't want. They have obligations as paid council members and should be supporting the likes of me.

    I am suffering too much and yet none of these people will ever care or understand. 

    Where in the UK could or should I move in order to get the support I want,need and deserve? I mean it is already too late for too many things but this 26 yr old estranged daughter of a one eyed, widowed , tragic mother surely deserves a better treatment from society at leaat for remainder of adult life. And as much as these years I've been gettibg dragged through hell seem eternal it is true they say life is short,so why cut it shorter, hence still being here. 

    I am not even on those awful, nauseating, pathetic beta blockers anymore but my chest aches and pulse is hilariously rapid, it's honestly a wonder I am still here and I am convinced I have already had many undiagnosed or ignored heart attacks.

    People think very little of me and being outwardly ethnic,unattractive,unwell,undeveloped, outcast does not help. I hate it. I observe and listen to everyday people when out and about or eveb through what I see and hear in thia stupid neighbourhood and I cannot relate to the life experiences of my peers at all.

    And who else is being tormented by a b****** ,fat, racist, white, perverted, loud, disgusting, Engliah, pompous, in such a twisted way?

     Yes indeed he is still banging on ceiling, swearing and simultaneously speaking affectionately to his cat as I type
    People like that should be oppressed and impoverished and hounded ,not me. 
    He should be forced to move.

    I never had the family, developmental privileges, playing out with friends, passing exams, clear skin, familial and social support, english speakjng parents, supportive tutors, balance, always having a job, going on holidays, obtaining freedom including a vehicle, empowerment and all these other blessings people take for granted, to which I cannot relate at all.

    You do realise that even to walk from the flat to the bus station which is meant to be a 5-10 minute walk only, causes burning, deep, debilitating pains especially in legs, and back ,and yet thriugh constant pain I have to do a lot of walking , with bags often since I dont drive  

    03:45 Tuesday morning and as ever I am uncomfortably and unproductively awake, suffering .

    Flat's still a shambles, whole body's still aching, mind is cluttered with unwanted thoughts, bank balance still in dangerously negative amount, huge debts still pressuring me to be paid,and still utterly failing as an outcast in everything.

    Even into recent days when I had to go outside whether for stupid work training days or go use public wifi (risking mob data here) I overhear concersations and it figuratively kills me. God these people are so liberated, blessed, enriched and yet they're so casual, carefree, and complain about petty things and don't even know it.
     
    Bloody hell it is 04:23 already and someone could knock on door or any emergency could happen and my entire flat is still a hellish state so I an goung to silently begin decluttering and tidying before the rest kd 

    Ultimately I am going fo

    Roght iTs jow 06:05 my head is aching . I tried to go outside snd remove some weeds and clear the disgisting entrance way of this stupid flat,whikst tje majority of neighbiurhood still probably sleeping, and feelinh smug fhat their stupid cars tjat they dont even deserve are all iced up,  but my fibromyalgic pains wouls not allow me to crouch and pull for any more than a few seconds and I am in ao muxh pain right now + headache as though Ive been attacked wifh a hammer but probably from the stress of  anxiety of going out and too many overdue pending tasks.

    Inside of flst still despicable no energy to move. Irespective of facf I was awake since about 03:30 ,bear in mind fhat I fell asleep before midnight whixh is a new record, I should not be this fatigued, esoecailly when not even a busy lifestyle. I honestly feel nauseous and awful and jist want all of this pain to stoo at least memntarily so that I can tidy up and get on with day.

    Hi @ResilientNeighbour7 thanks for reaching out this morning. I'm really sorry to hear about how you are feeling, and that you feel let down and rejected by local support. 

    I'm wondering if finding an advocate might be something which could help you to feel heard, and to support you in standing up for your rights. The mental health charity Mind has information all about advocacy, and lists organisations that might be able to help:

    You can find out more about community advocacy services from organisations such as:


    As ever, when you feel you are struggling or unsafe, these organisations are here to listen and support you whenever you need to reach out:

    I'm quite concerned about how you're feeling in yourself at the moment, and how tired and unwell you feel. I know you haven't felt supported by your GP recently, so is there anyone at the doctors surgery who you could have an emergency appointment with, to discuss how you've been feeling mentally and physically?

    Would you be able to contact 111 or get them to call you back? If you ever feel in immediate danger then you must ring 999 right away.

    Is there a library local to you with computers you could use, that might help with mobile data?

    When we are feeling especially low and stuck, it is the easiest thing to compare ourselves to others and feel all the more disheartened. Please know that you are not alone in this feeling, and it's good that you're able to voice this feeling too.

    We would like to support you as much as we are able to, and I'll be emailing you shortly from community@scope.org.uk, so please keep an eye out for that. Let us know if you feel you need help with anything else, or if we've missed something.

    And I don't wish to call GP surgery today despite how I am feeling because I  not keen to be dismissed again. There is too much wrong yet sadly I doubt they'll listen,care or refer.
    Also so very cold and shivering under all these layers as usual.
    Can any of you reccommend
    I take womens total multivitamins and am not a  vegetarian and despite weakness I force myself to exercise including gym, which hs not affordable but Ive no equipment in flat plus but ive never experienced any improvement. 
    So please know that I am not some pathetic lazy bum who just sits and complains but rather someone with not a lot of control over anything that is happening to me and very frustrated.
    I feel like I repeat myself a lot on here and have no idea if anything I type actually makes sense to anyone but I am struggling a lot .

    People,Iam telling you thst yo yhis day, at once, I feel dizzy, nauseous,
    Please if you know of any relevant medicine trials or existing solitutions please

    Right so its now 9am & ive just jolred awake with the horrid floppiness,cold chills & paraesthesia in all limbs. Somewhat luckily no shift today but many other errands, calls, and tasks for which im running late. Im sick of this! I wamt to be normal!

    What if this is a brain damage/disorder or something sinister that is undiagnosed. I am not sure how many more years of this terrifying,unproductive,negatively impactful, time-wasting, potential-ruining, money-wasting illness i can take. And why am I so cold? !

    ANY GOOD HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS OUT THERE?
