I want the 30th to come but I don't want to watch everyday different emotions hard to keep up with myself so overwhelming can't talk to daughter as she has her life her problems I don't think people understand they think I'm being over anxious and say it will be alright why worry yourself have a friend said no one else worrying why stress your brain the emails I want to send liz kendell but I definitely will sit on that even the little pleasures I used to get watching films I know it's not much but I love my scary films I can't watch as I see how realistic to life they are I've really lived in a protective bubble the outside world is not for me can't rest my mind on a normal day let alone under this pressure the world is changing all over and I see how people are suffering I don't want to get out of bed even brushing teeth is an effort my memory bad but getting worse through stress my daughter coming to stay having an operation and I cant deal with that which makes me feel awful so overwhelming my mind wants to shut down I despise The labour party

    Hi @Catherine21 I am so sorry you are suffering so much with the uncertainty of what is to come in the budget. Please take care of yourself.

    @Catherine21

    Its just awful that we have been left hanging in limbo for so long.

    We may know a bit more about our fete next week when Kendal gets questioned about benefit reform among other things.

    I'm not looking forward to it one bit.

    In the meantime all thatc8s being said is speculation and a lot of scaremongering.

    I really do advise again @Catherine21 that you definitely don't watch it. It will just add to your suffering and most of their jargon makes no sense to the average person anyway.

    your best option is to visit one of the trusted sources from 2pm onwards for an accurate, simplified and calm take on whatever is announced where you can get a lot of support and everyone can look out for each other.

    i know you've been suffering majorly now fot weeks, I'm sorry for that.

    I want the 30th to come as well. It's only four weeks away, but to a person with anxiety, it feels like forever. Hopefully, the controversy from pensioners having winter fuel allowance taken away and the backlash, will make Labour think twice about taking away PIP, or other things that will harm disabled people.

    I am trying to distract myself with hobbies in the meantime.

    Hi Catherine

    I am going out to get my nails done today and then I'm going to have a wander around some charity shops.

    I live in a seaside resort and its lovely and sunny here today so I'm going to sit on a bench and watch the surfers.

    I know its hard but try to have a nice day and take care.

    I do make hobby craft items. I sell them to get money of materials back. Then though that is another worry because I then worry then could say oh that is work and I lose LCWRA. I already have a severe psychiatric. The thoughts that go around in my head just aggravate. If I didn't have the hobby then more time for my mind to have psychotic thinking. There is no winning.

    I lived in Exeter for sixteen years and I travelled for day trips to the surrounding seaside resorts.

    There were some beautiful places in Devon.

    I live in Cornwall now and I love it here.

    I also think when the 30th arrives and we get answers, things will calm down on here. The uncertainty and the anxiety is making emotions run high.

    Hopefully we'll get answers soon.

    @Catherine21 I'm not too bad thanks

    @Ironside1990 I am confident labour have damaged themselves already enough not to be as much of a threat as they would have been.

    I agree.

    People are naturally anxious and frantically worried because we have been left hanging in limbo for too long but hopefully we may get some peace of mind soon.

    Either way I can't see any potential changes happening any time soon.
