    I'm sorry you are feeling low and having panic attacks today, do you have anyone with you for support?

    hi I’m so upset I lost my job still I just feel like it’s set me back I’m trying so hard but work places just don’t give disabled people a chance does any one else find that ?

    I don’t want to be on benefits or reply on my husband for ever I want a little job that I enjoy and can do and that’s walkable from my house because cars trigger me .

    Sorry to hear about your job @cupcake88. You've done so well after all you've been through this year and I'm sorry you've had this knock to your confidence. It's totally understandable that you're upset about it and it's so disappointing when employers don't give you the support you need.

    Scope has some employment services if you think you'd find them useful: Employment support services | Disability charity Scope UK

    I'm not sure there's anything I can say to make it feel better, but I hope a new opportunity comes your way soon. Take care of yourself 💛

    That sounds really tough @cupcake88, I'm sorry you went through that. I've had panic attacks in public before and it can make you feel really vulnerable, especially if people are staring. It can take a long time to feel like yourself afterwards, so I hope you're doing a little better tonight. Be really kind to yourself if you can.

    I'm glad the community can be there for you when you're having a hard time 😊 there's so many lovely members here and it always brightens my day to see everyone supporting each other. Hope some better days are on their way soon 💜

    @Rosie_Scope hi Rosie there so horrible aren’t they . Do you get bad panic attacks often ? How do you cope with them ? It’s so hard when your out in public and your on your own especially as they come out of no where I feel that my medication I’m on causes them
