Thank you.

Thank you.

It means I can probably just about scrape by for 2 years. But I’ll be worrying the whole time about going through assessment again so soon. I’d hoped to get 10 years (the maximum) and even my GP wrote to them and said I should get 10 years. Theoretically I could appeal the length, but there’s a danger they will actually shorten it if I do that, and I just need a break.

Thank you!

There was one on lemmy, who did get banned for it, at least temporarily. There is another who has been emailing me since january, I don’t know their username, only their email address. They got my email address from my posts and have spent the past month writing to me once or twice a week, promising gift cards and then making excuses about why they haven’t come through and then promising again.

thank you, and for all your help and support!

Thank you.

Thank you.

I’ve been on disability benefits for about 10 years now, and this was my fourth reassessment. I get reassessed that frequently. They are certainly not going to let me be for 10 years unfortunately. This will keep happening over and over again, I’ll never get a real break from it. We do have the 10 year “check a box that this has not improved” nominal reassessment here, but that’s only for people who actually get awarded the 10 year award. That’s why I wanted the 10 year award and got my doctors to write letters asking for it. I got the three year award and that only actually guarantees two years before reassessment. The hard part is never going to be over for me.

Thanks for the bump!

Thanks for the bump!

I’ve just tried multiple times and they have never worked out for me. It’s too bad they stopped being legal, used to be able to just walk into a shop and buy them.

Thanks for the bump!

It’s not easy because I can’t keep it at the correct temperature as we can’t afford to have the heating on, also it always got contaminated somehow. The one time I actually managed to grow some, they weren’t effective at all. Anyway I can’t afford the grow stuff any more.

I have never thought an alliance with the US means anything other than the UK being its bitch.

He did know about the fact I got diagnosed with cancer. The last time we spoke I invited him to come and see me and he declined, saying he’d been called into work. I called him back later, wanting to say he could just come over afterwards, but there was no answer. I knew his workplace so called him there and his boss told me he hadn’t been called into work. So I just took the hint and left it, and he never called me again. A mutual friend told me, soon after this, that he’d stopped calling him too, it seemed he just wanted to cut ties with his old friends and move on.

After stalking his page I’ve realised he’s actually divorced, so you’re right.

thanks for the bump!

Sorry to hear you feel this too.

It’s just, even if people on social media’s lives aren’t as good as they make out, at least they have some good. I’ve got nothing but severe constant physical pain and sickness, absolute poverty with no way out and no hobbies as I can’t even afford to do things I would be physically able to do. I can’t even do something as simple as rent a film on amazon as I have literally no money. I used to love hiking but due to my disabilities walking is so painful and barely achievable any more, even just walking a few steps hurts like hell. Due to brain fog and exhaustion caused by my cancer meds even reading has become impossible as I just can’t concentrate.
