  • Yes, they're estimating an extra 6 months wait (though it could be before that). When, like now, this happens during an appeal, it makes life much more difficult. When it happens prior to a normal reassessment, it's good. If you're in receipt of your benefits and they add an extra length of time before reassessing you, it means you keep getting paid for that extra time. But if you're appealing and not being paid, it means extra time without money.

    Thanks for the moral support.

  • I would love to take you up on this, but I can't have a crypto account as my banking is going to be checked by the government - I'm not allowed to have any money. They specifically say they're going to check for crypto too, I don't know how. I could get in trouble even to the point of being sent to prison. I've also tried to use the darkweb before and couldn't do it, I have trouble learning new things because my cancer treatment has fried my brain.

  • I haven't had any friends or social life since 2010, everyone just drifted away when i got too sick to hang out any more. There's literally no-one for me to ask. Also I'll be having this treatment for life, I doubt things will get better.

  • Thanks. But even my brain is deteriorating, I feel really cognitively impaired since I started my cancer treatment. I have trouble concentrating on things and struggle to learn new things now. I wish I could get some hallucinogens too, not just for fun but to give my brain a clear-out and my mood a boost. When shrooms were legal in the UK I used to do them and always found it really helpful.

  • Everything has gone to shit, even more than usual. My achilles is effed up again, my landlady is taking all her frustrations out on me and making the house awkward and uncomfortable and the absolute icing on the cake - I got a letter from the DWP saying that due to a backlog they are more delayed with getting through claimants appeals and assessments and it looks like my finances won't be fixed soon and I'll be relying on help from mutual aid for longer. Which is pretty terrifying considering how not only I but many others who use mutual aid are finding responses dwindling and more difficult to come by. What is the point of living like this? I wish it was all over. I don't know just how bad my achilles actually is yet, it's inflamed, hot and painful but when it gets like this it tends to worsen for a while, so I don't yet know how debilitating it's going to be. I can't bear the thought of being trapped indoors for months again, it's absolutely devastating to mental health to be a prisoner unable to get out. Walking outside is one of the few things that makes life bearable. The only other thing I've got is music, I've always been a big fan of rock and metal and have taken refuge in it during problems, but when I fell into financial ruin I ended up having to sell most of my CDs (and got an absolute pittance for them, much less than they were worth). So now it's quietly listening with poor sound quality on youtube instead of putting headphones in and blasting it up. And god, the endless stress of finances. Why can't I just have a fatal heart attack or something?

  • My weak achilles tendon is painful and inflamed again after being pressured into lifting that blasted xmas tree. I am so stressed about this I could cry. I can't stand the thought of going back to potentially being housebound for months. Why does everything have to be so shit all the time?

  • Thank you.

    Yeah, there are lots of problems with living here, she has no respect for any type of boundaries. But still there's no real alternative except a homeless shelter or something, which would be awful. Just one of the many issues of capitalism, no money, no real choice of living situation.

  • Well my cold finally died down a bit and I just managed to get to see a dentist. After all the insane effort I went to to see one, firstly they didn't even bother checking the entitlement form that I'd gone to so much time and bother to get, and then they said there was nothing wrong with my teeth now anyway. I suppose that's good though. My migraines and bladder are flaring up though, maybe because I started taking my folate supplements again as the tingling in my legs is so bad.

    I also seem to be getting taken for a ride on lemmy again. Someone on there contacted me to say he was going to send me a food gift card. Then, as has happened multiple times from other people before, I got a message every day for the next few days with some excuse about why he hadn't been able to do it. Why do people do this? I should know by now that if someone contacts me saying they're going to help, they won't come through. If someone is actually going to help they just do it. The people who send messages saying they intend to help at some future time, never do. I know this and yet I still let myself feel relieved and excited about the promised help, I still rush online every day to check if it's come through, only to be disappointed that there is nothing on my inbox but an excuse or just silence. I still don't understand why people do this, what do they gain from it? It's even worse when they leave a post in your mutual aid request thread implying that they have helped you, so other people who might have helped don't bother, and then they don't come through and you get nothing. It is such an endless phenomenon. Thanks god one person responded to my post for real this month, I reckon I can stretch it out for a couple more weeks, otherwise i don't know what I would do right now.

    Oh and my landlady bullied me into helping her lift her xmas tree, despite the fact that my disabilities cause me to get severely injured when lifting things, we've argued about this before and I've just finished a course of shockwave therapy due to my last injuries. Anyway now my back and achilles tendon are hurt.

  • I've got a terrible cold. Maybe covid, who knows? Had it for several days. I can't stop coughing, so much my throat and mouth taste like blood. I knew all those people in the supermarket coughing on everyone, not wearing masks, would do this.

    And I don't know if I'm in a suitable state to go to the dentist now, but that is still proving a difficulty anyway. I finally got my proof of entitlement to free dental, but now it's so hard getting an appointment. I spent two days trying to contact NHS 111 who deal with this and when I finally got through they said they don't deal with this in my area any more and gave me a different place to contact. When I finally managed to contact them they told me it was too late and to try again another day. Why is everything so difficult in this country?

  • The pain isn't too bad yet, the worrying thing is that it's spreading. It's a mild pain that's covering more and more of the gum and teeth and I have no idea what's causing it.
