You could see it was dripping with money flash cars the lot !I struggled so much I don't go out I don't travel it really depressed me I was struggling internally so bad made my body dismorphia so bad and I was panicking inside how would I cope in the real world trying to act present I Just wanted get home I've been in bed since Today really saddened me made me look around me I've never wanted to be rich never been envious what I was sad about is the loss of my life how I'm incapable of having a career building a life I know I been thinking so much since labour said about going back to work felt to cry at the reality that I cant hold jobs down might be able for a week then I know I will crash sorry to go on feeling drained I hate MH

Sorry you're feeling so drained @Catherine21. London can be an overwhelming place to be at the best of times, and there is so much wealth on display in some areas. I can totally understand why you might feel affected by seeing things like that.
I bet your daughter really appreciated your support, it's a really nice thing that you went with her even though it was difficult for you. Hope you can rest up today, take it easy ❤️

Hi @Catherine21 You did really well going with your daughter to support her. Your daughter must have been very happy for you to be with her. I am sorry it has made you so unsettled with your own life. Please take care of yourself.

Wealth is what you make it, to some it is the flash cars and flashing the cash. To others it's a loving family, try not to compare yourself to other people's standards of living or whatever.
I know what you mean about the DWP, I feel like I have a target on my back, I too can't hold a job down (even before I went into burnout and onto LCW). I think that we have to just keep being persistent. It took me 2 1/2 years to get LCWRA, after a MR and 2 tribunals, but I got it eventually. I think they try and wear people down to give in, but you clearly struggle too much to work, so try not to let it make you worse and just know that you are justified to be on benefits, we shouldn't have to validate ourselves so much, but we are validated. (I don't know if that makes sense).
I hope you feel better.

Not had a payment yet, but hopefully soon.
Glad everything I said made sense.
Looking at the world like a child, can be a good thing though. In the sense that you can see things in a way that's not tainted by adult fears and such.
I just got up after a decent sleep and went out in the sunshine this morning, so pretty good weekend so far, thank you. Hope you do too.
