    My dad always used to say "People who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind." 😊

    There's been a few benefits related things, but it's mostly been ok news I think? Nothing to do with PIP etc, we think that will be coming out in the Spring. I'll need to sit down and read all the information once it's all out.

    Everyone's discussing the budget over on this discussion so people wont get too confused. 😊

    From my point of view, I'm expecting benefits news in the Spring now. But in a way, I'm happy with that, as it shows they're not willing to make and rash decisions and they're thinking things through and speaking to charities about it all.

    I shared the link below in a thread a few days ago, but for those who may have missed it attached link below. The Treasury and Rachel Reeves announced on 28 October 2024, the forthcoming rollout of the "Get Britain Working" White Paper.

    This document is scheduled to be unveiled later this autumn and will outline the government’s ambitious plans to assist individuals in re-entering the workforce. While it is possible that we may need to wait until next year for full implementation, I anticipate that the White Paper will provide some insights into what we can expect prior to next spring.

    OMG Just found this thread, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!

    So I really believe this is a 'thing'. I read that in the US they did an experiment where they got a load of diagnosed psychopathic criminals from prisons and walked them past a line up which included victims of crime and those who'd never been victims. Apparently the prisoners could pick out every victim without knowing any of them. I really think opportunists DO see us coming! I'm struggling at work AGAIN and it's always the same scenario - I get totally overloaded with work, far more than anyone else is given, underpaid, have to work for free in my own time to get the job done and because I end up stressed and miserable everybody hates me. And I had an epiphany this week - I looked around at my work colleagues and my boss's favourites, and I tried to see how THEY do life. And I think I go into everything with such a giving and friendly nature, I want to help, I volunteer, I never want to see someone struggling or something not get done that's important and I try to do what I'm asked as well as I can to support my boss. I'm thinking that's my job as a good worker. My BOSS is thinking 'What a mug, she's one I can push'. Because his favourites, when I think about it, started saying 'I'm not doing all that!' and refused about the second day they were there, and they were never asked again. I'd never have thought it appropriate to do that in a new job, nor is it my nature to be so unsupportive to my employers. But nice guys don't win prizes. And I honestly think he resents me for trying so hard and thinks I'm weak.

    With relationships I was the same - gave away all my money to help idiots because I felt bad for them and wanted to help - now I'm penniless. Trusted them because they told me I could. Didn't think they'd screw me over because we were friends. I'm actually embarrassed saying it. I'm a regular mug. Because my world is honest and kind and loyal and pleasant I never see it coming because my brain just doesn't think like that. I have no urge to be vindictive or vengeful, no wish to lie, I'd never be dishonest and cheat, and I think I've been judging everyone and everything via 'planet eeL'. If I'm honest it's alot of why I struggle with my mental health - I feel stupid and hate myself for being such a fool, making so many stupid mistakes and being done over time after time after time - so MANY times that I can't forgive myself for it keeping on happening and I see why no one has any sympathy because I'm THAT stupid. I'm a regular dum*ars*. I now speak to no one and have no friends, I live like a hermit and I'm terrified of everybody, because it feels like I'm constantly hunted and under fire. I hate going out of my front door. Any human being is trouble to me. People say 'You should go out there, you might meet someone!' and I say, 'Oh yeah, I absolutely would -a complete d*ckhead!' Because even if there were 20 nice people out there I can guarantee you I end up making friends with number 21 who's a tool.

    you do make me smile and laugh!

    it's Keir Starmer (his dad was a toolmaker)

    tbh the way you are treated upsets me greatly and angers me, you have rights and they need to realise it.

    I get the same I even had my friend arrange a date for me on Thursday behind my back, I've always been a mug and think and feel the same as you.

    Its hard having a kind heart ❤️ in a cruel world I used to be the same someone say jump I'd say how high and I generally do really feel people's pain your probably find all the bosses favourites putting an act on I'd rather be on my own can't stand clicks and packs but understand it is demoralising and can leave you wounded well I say well done for holding a job down I find it impossible the whole social structure my brain can't accept I relized this at 45 I suppose it changed for me when I started intense therapy I started seeing it was ok to say no without worry it was amazing to put boundaries around me I learnt to start protecting me no one else would only used my kind nature save all that kindness put back into you say to yourself if you can this week I won't volunteer to do extra and slowly slowly might get easier the first time you no god is scary imagine all life saying yes it's conditioned and people get used to you being thier mug No turn the tables and soon you see boundaries are an amazing thing to adapt into your life keep the kindness for yourself and your see your attack nicer genuine people like yourself xx keep reaching for the stars 🌟 sorry that's meant to say attract

    I'm the same tend to look for the good in people and treated badly. Been through abuse , domestic abuse , had friends treat me like a door mat, relationship with a narcissistic and a domestic abuser. I now.dont want friends, don't want to go out, don't want a relationship. I have chronic illness which I won't recover from . Can't do a lot like I used to. Have lost my mum, brother and sister since 2017 . Was there when mum died in hospital when they failed her.

    I was her carer. I've never got over it, been abused and belittled for having Autism. I'm on antidepressants again. All this worry with what the government going to do just puts a strain on me.

    it breaks my heart it genuinely does what you've all been through.

    it's always the loveliest people who get the **** in life, while nasty people coast through without a care in the world.
