    Afternoon folks , well , just been for a swim to clear my head and dust the cobwebs , it helps with my mental health, I'm just so so worried about what Labour are proposing re benefits , it seems like the mental health aspect is going to be clamped down on the most , I'm terrified , I self harm, have bulimia and I have HIV after being raped, I honestly don't know what I'm going to do

    Hi @Gazmo76 bless you, you've been through an ordeal. It sounds like a swim helps and it's good you keep that up to help with your mental and physical health.

    Please take care of yourself. Do you have support around you that you can talk to?

    I'm struggling really badly Holly, though I'm really doing my best to keep it together, I have my partner (though he is away visiting his mum) and my neighbour but he is at work and my godmother , she usually helps me wash and clean myself and tells me to take my anti depressants and HIV retrovirals

    Mr Teigr is supposed to be picking up a takeaway.

    I think they must have dragged him into the kitchen to wash up.

    Cold,dry and sunny here @Amberpearl .

    I'd be working in the garden if I didn't have a pile of ironing and housework to tackle.

    Another day. At home. Picked an Amazon parcel and now at home.. I will stay at home. Tomorrow I have to go somewhere part of my routine and social interactions but feel rather stressed. I hope I will feel a bit better tomorrow...

    Hi all

    I've only just managed to crawl out of my bed.

    I had such a brilliant day watching the rugby yesterday.

    I had a right skin full. 😅

    Off out later to see a live Irish band.

    Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Im taking the antiviral medication, they are 5 a day with intervals between each, trouble is my memory isn't that good lol.

    I hope everyone is having a good restful Sunday.

    A news piece in the guardian made me sleep easier. It's looking very much like Starma, is going to have a struggle with alot of his own cabinet ministers and the Lords. Fingers crossed for a u-turn on this green paper, he has chosen to fight the elderly, and people with physical and mental health disabilities. He is in for a fight.

    I'm okay today thanks Catherine , still very fearful and reflective, apparently a new idea that Kendall is coming up with is try work -which means if you don't like work , you go back to your benefit , no sanctions etc, mmmmm , not liking that idea one bit , I suffer with anxiety and stress and after what happened to me , I can't be in a room with just one person ,plus , they will have to have the patience of a saint , I mess myself 8-9 times a day , plus I have bulimia, they will hardly see me for the amount of toilet breaks I will need , I've never seen so much strength of feeling over this, and rightfully so

    How are you doing ?
