it's about 12 years since i last attempted to get these benefits... I had a face to face assesment then, most of which i dont remember... and i scored 0 points, unfortunately i got the results 3 days before becoming homeless so wasn;t in a possition to appeal...


i've been too scared to apply since. So if i am honest I have no idea how all this works now :laugh: my knowledge is all very out of date... I only discovered a few weeks ago that a version of ESA even exists still... if i'd known I'd have applied months ago


though either way I suspect you may have more professional documented evidence than I do... every time i see a new team I get into trouble for not being fully honest with GP/old team





any idea what sort of time the doctors might come speak to you? or anyone you can ask about it?

Wow that’s tough

I really hope you manage to get it. Sounds like you could do with a break!

I do have a great deal of documented evidence tbh.

Why do you think you aren’t honest with your GPS?

i think i am stuck in the "not ill enough" mindset so i get scared about wasting their time, or not being believed

You’re definitely not wasting their time
I understand the worry though

Evening all.

What's on the dinner menus tonight? =)

I had a ham and cheese sandwich!
I got an order from deliveroo.
Consisting mostly of diet coke

What about you np?

Mm that's a good sandwich filling. You can't run out of diet coke =o

I want to have burgers.

It is indeed!
No I definitely can't! I was already getting withdrawals!

Burgers sound good

Hey guys

Hi Luna
How are you?

I’m ok, how are you?

Not bad thanks. Not good but not bad.

You been up to much today?

I dont know what to have for tea. I currently have hiccups.

I had quiche :)

I had omelette in the end.

I’ve just had a hot chocolate.
It’s supper time but I didn’t fancy any toast

Oh I feel like a hot chocolate now.

I don't think I ever had toast at supper but I did like the hot chocolate.

Do you have any np?
If so then you should have one!

I don’t usually tamo. If I somehow manage to miss lunch and dinner then I will.

That's good. Maybe try having toast even if you miss one meal?

Maybe. Depends how things are going I suppose
I usually love toast but I seem to have gone off pretty much all food lately

Morning guys, what’s everyone up to today?

Morning Luna
I'm not really up to anything
Might do some washing

How about you?

How are you getting on? They started you on your meds yet?

I have shop admin to do but I’m procrastinating by playing Sims.

Nope
I'm hoping to see the doctor today to find out when I'm actually starting them.
They need to do blood tests first

The sims is so addictive!

Fingers crossed it soon.

Yeah it really is. It’s very easy to spend hours playing it lol.

Thanks

It is! Which sims are you playing?

Sims 4. I've switched it off now. Really must get some stuff done!

I've only played up to sims 3.

*sends motivation*
You can do the things!

Thank you haha!

:-D

I can't remember when I put my washing on.
Guess I'll just have to check it randomly!

My laundry builds up very quickly.

Today I am having a pyjama day, until I do exercise.

So does mine. I don't have many clothes so I have to wash them a lot.

Sounds good!

Urgh this is not going well. Trying to do stuff but keep dissociating and doing something random. everything is all half done. frustrating.

Taking a break with mint hot chocolate

Sorry to hear that Luna
Taking a break sounds like a good idea

Feeling like I'm going around in circles!

Hows your day going?

Mint hot chocolate is good. Did it help?

I can imagine!

Not too bad I suppose. Except I still haven't seen the consultant and they couldn't get any blood at all from me.
I did my laundry though!

I went to the local post office today. I went to the co-op nearby and wanted a pizza. I ended up coming out with 4 things including creme egg cupcakes.

Also went to the park at the bottom of the road.

Creme egg cupcakes?????

Need me some of those =o

How are you np?

Creme egg cupcakes sound amazing. I can’t wait for my op to be over so I can eat sugar again.

I cant decide if cream egg cup cakes sound awesome or sickly

I imagine both hazel!

I imagine they would be quite sickly so maybe small cupcakes?
Will have to make some cornflake cakes with Joshy at some point.

Potentially an unpopular opinion, but I'm not a big fan of cream eggs to be honest

They are very sweet and sickly. I didn’t like them when I was a kid but love them now.
Do you have a sweet tooth Hazel?
