Its a huge struggle to have to deal with basics of getting a decent place to call home and some secure income.
Sometimes when media is done on poor people it feels like insult piled on top of injury.
I find it really difficult to admit when I am in bad situation and to ask for support.
Keep safe

Thankyou @Appleblossom
i am very lucky to have a mother who supports me and she ownes her own home, i have cost her alot of money i have maxed out all her credit cards because i am unable to function.
Yes i feel under attack all the time by society, for not being "normal"
i am not at immediate risk, mum still needs me, so i have to struggle on until she needs me no more... i hope it is not too much longer though.......the panic attacks are getting so intents........up to 5 per day now.......

I know that we have mentioned this elsewhere when you first posted on the Forums, but when you feel like things are getting to point where you may be at immediate risk, please contact those numbers we have given you.

Bye @Jacques! See you next week! I won't be here for a few weeks as I'm having sometime off - heading to NZ. Will definitely post some photos though.
@Former-Member the news is horrible! As a kid it actually use to give me nightmares. That, and crime stoppers. The news media relies on bad stories, as the old saying goes, 'if it bleeds, it leads'. Not the most bightest outlook of the world...
