    Hi Amiga
    I hope you have a very happy birthday!
    I have just read through all of your messages in this thread (at times with tears in my eyes) and want to send you a big ((((hug)))) sounds like you have been through an awful lot. You are doing so well, please don't give up. Good luck with the job hunting - i really hope something comes up soon, which it will. I reckon that once you are working again your confidence will improve. I see a counsellor at the moment for anxiety and depression so i know what it feels like. If you ever want to chat pm me and i won't be far away. x

    Didn't get it.

    Had to walk 10 miles to the interview and 10 miles back as my JSA wasn't paid in today. ( Computer error they said).

    So I give in. Life has beaten me and my dad was right. I can't get a minimum wage job anymore. I didn't want handouts, just a break and I can't get it.

    I am on my own and there is no point in carrying on. I have nothing to live for and am so lonely. However I do want to take the time to thank each and every one of you for the kind messages here, and the PM's. BR is horrible and you made it a lot easier to understand and if I had been stronger I could have got through thanks to you all. I won't list people as I don't want to miss anyone out but you are all stars.

    Do NOT give up. You do not know what is round the corner. We have had 2 people in our family who took their own lives and believe me it is not the answer. I know it is easy to say this but life is too precious to end it. You have done the hard thing by going BR, just hang on in there and something will turn up.
