  • Still desperately need help with transport - have to get to hospital appointments for cancer treatment and physiotherapy. £160/400. Also a plea for the judgment to stop.

  • Same here. All the therapy I received just consisted of being told to write lists of why I shouldn't feel depressed or anxious and look at those reasons when I feel bad, or draw a picture of what I'm feeling today, or do a pointless guided meditation. Absolute rubbish and like you I only continued with this crap for the full 6 months to help my benefit appeal.

  • Psychiatrists are all useless. I saw a book advertised called "Psychotherapy won't help you: Mental Health, Mind Control, and the Exit Door You Were Never Meant to Find" by Marina Karlova, but I haven't read it.

  • Pretty privilege is definitely a thing. I've really noticed the difference in how people treat me since I started looking ill and rough. Like I'm not even worthy of basic human decency now, I don't even deserve to have my presence acknowledged.

  • It's a sure sign that they have never truly suffered horribly long-term. Absolutely no idea what endless torture feels like, and no empathy.

  • That's OK. It's just frequently, when I make a post, someone will give suggestions that I've either already tried or that aren't accessible to me, and it is just exhausting on top of everything I'm already going through, having to repeatedly explain or defend why I seem to not be doing enough to help myself by accessing help that doesn't exist.

  • I live in a run-down seaside town on the south coast of England. It's far from being a city and doesn't exactly have amazing services. Many parts aren't even covered by public transport. There are hospital transport services but they cost money, and the community transport has medical criteria that I don't meet (such as you must have dementia, ore require oxygen during the journey, things like that).

    I made a post a while ago about how i tried to sign up to facebook but they now require a video selfie of your head from multiple angles and i don't feel comfortable doing that. If i can't get the help I need then I will just cancel more medical appointments. It's a vicious circle where not getting the medical help I need makes my situation worse, and makes me less able to care for myself which then makes it harder to get further help, but there is nothing i can do. i don't have family to help, I'm very ill and tired from my cancer treatment and I can barely walk. I've tried every source of help from the local council to the food bank and eventually this was the only place where people actually helped. All other sources of help have dried up The council no longer provide me a carer, the cancer charity macmillan no longer give grants and my local council doesn't give hardship payments to people as young as me any more. People often act like there's so much help out there and I am just not trying hard enough to find it, but there really isn't much help out there at all. I'm up to my limit, I can't keep struggling on, I will just give up and have to stop engaging with medical treatment.

  • I got the results of my scan for the shockwave treatment today. The damage to my leg and ankle is even more extensive than first thought. And they said they need to do another scan to do the foot because they think the damage extends further into the foot. The appointment for that scan in on Wednesday then I'll hear when the shockwave therapy will begin. But this will be more expensive and eat into the donations I was given for the shockwave therapy. I'm also not having much luck getting donations for my transport situation. I need £400 and received a total of £61, which I'm grateful for of course, but because the car isn't fixed and I had a hospital appointment today I had to spend £24 of it getting taxis there and back. I have another hospital appointment in a hospital the next town over tomorrow, I'll have to use the rest getting a taxi there and back. That puts the fund for the car repairs back down to zero and means I still have no transport to my future hospital appointments. What am I going to do? You have to pay for hospital transport anyway and it's too late to book it for my next upcoming appointments. I've already had to cancel an endocrinology appointment because of this. Why does everything always have to be so difficult and expensive?

    I wish they would just legalise assisted suicide here. I hate the hypocrisy of them claiming they care too much about us to let us die, while they don't care enough to make sure we can access enough food and medical treatment.

  • I'm trapped indoors right now as my mobility is severely limited, the nearest bus stop is half a mile away, and I can't get the money we need for car repairs. I can't get to any surgeries. I even had to cancel my most recent appointment with the endocrinologist about my thyroid cancer treatment. My mutual aid request isn't doing very well. So trying to see a councillor is impossible and way down my list of priorities right now.

  • The police are worse than useless though. One time I got battered around the head with a lead pipe by a gang of random boys for wearing a Guns N Roses t shirt. They said they did it because I was a "goth." The police found them easily but then refused to do anything about it. The policeman actually implied I'd brought it on myself for dressing like a "goth" in public. Years later I got SA'd in the street by four random men and when i reported it the policewoman said, "It sounds like it was just lads being lads." If I call the police they won't do anything to help and it will make the thug even worse.
