in Start here and say hello!
Hi everybody.  Just wanted to say hello.  48 year old male living in the North East of England. Have Maffucci's Syndrome and long standing mental health/psychological issues.  Worked from leaving school in Local Government.  Made redundant in April this year.  Done as VR, but if am being honest they wanted rid of me (Am I saying too much??).  Have had a bad time since losing my job.   Have applied for numerous positions since.  Monday 28th Nov will be only my 4th interview.  Feeling extremely demoralised at the moment as I still have so much to give to an organisation, if they would just give me a chance.  Having a job gives me a purpose and helps me manage my mental health issues.  I get so much out of just helping/supporting others.

I do hope to get involved with Scope, discussions and the site.  Am sure it will have a positive effect on me and help me through my current situation.

Best wishes.
G
