Hi, my name is Bertie1960!
If Benefits are there to stop people being left out or suffering hardship.
Is it ok to feel Content with my Lott in life?
Is it Ok to be happy and have a laugh and not feel as if I shouldn't be here or be free to do anything.
Is it ok to buy things nice or "spoil myself"
Ever again ?

Thank you,
let's hope that that sentiment Grows amongst those who consider that the disabled should be Sad, Excluded from Pleasure and Financially Punished.

It's a thing that we all may have, a feeling of guilt, when so many in the world are suffering.
Why should I feel Content ? Whatever my circumstances.
I alter my expectations, desire and 'reward system' to reflect my reality, that way I'm always a winner. On benefits with Mental and Physical Disabilities.
I just need to reject Inflicted Guilt.
