Hi, I work within mental health and see people daily with a range of difficulties and diagnoses from PND, OCD, Depression with anxiety ranging to psychosis/bi-polar the lot.

The one thing we all need, whether we have depression or not, is hope. Hope is the key to getting through this mad existence that we call Life.

Medication will solve part of the problems for most, and may even be the answer for some. However, effecting positive change, surrounding yourself with positive supporters (ie on this site), and finding inspiration that gives hope will (and does) help those that remain.

I come to this site because i'm hopeful of one day becoming debt free... through all the struggles and hardships, i need to hold on to the feeling of happiness when i eventually become debt free. I am determined to achieve that. I can and will. This is hope... this is what drives me forward and we all need something, it's just not easy at times seeing what is left that drives us and inspires us.

:beer: for all of us.

This is such a lovely quote. And so true.. I wish although I am lucky to not be massively in debt.. I was happy.. And for me in london and although not alone. Lost could be used as the word. Sometimes are very hard. Not being able to afford the luxuasry of my own place, with would in my eyes being choice and peace, and a better career.. I dont ask for much.. But you can never being back the ones that are lost you are meant to move on and build..

I am but still looking for bricks.

Woohoooooooooo miro you studmuffin
anyone got any tips on filling in a community care grant form from the social fund? someone suggested today that I should apply for it because of the damage my daughter has caused to the house (doors and furniture smashed up, carpets burned, stuff like that) is there a way to word it so that they're more likely to approve it or should I just state the facts?

Hi ethel:hello:
Are either you or your daughter on any benefits hun? Sorry if I've asked this before but you can see what time it is!:rolleyes:
My advice would be to give as much detail as possible about the actual damage, when it happened etc and what you're asking for. The amount you name should be a little higher than your needs, to allow the dwp a range for their decision-making. Make sure that you tell them in detail how this has affected the whole family and whether you might need these things fixed so that your daughter doesn't have to go into care, whether you have savings or not. They do have strict guidelines so give as much information as you can angel. You do have to be very careful with how you word things because the dwp take them literally so don't assume that they can figure it out because they won't - they can only go on what you actually write. Hope this helps hun - I think I'd need to know a little more before I could advise you any further. Pop along to CAB if you're having problems with it ethel.
Good luck hun
Much love

As Tiff rightly says you have to spell it out for them, going into the most obvious of details for them to know what to do. CAB is fab for helping with these type of things. If you have any form of community support or other professional support try and talk to them about it for help if you can. If they cant help then they should know someone who knows how to fill such things out in "the right way".

Night shift nearly over so almost bed time for meeeeeee.....!

She's moving next week from the acute unit to a long term one where she'll be for about 18mths or so, and I should find out what knd of support they can put in place so she can come home a bit more, they said they'd provide a person to come with her so we'll see.

Hi CC :wave:
Hi hun - how are you doing hun? I couldn't help but think that Miro's post was totally innocent angel - I took it to mean that he hoped he hadn't implied that she was a tart.
Don't be upset - no-one would have a go at you like that cc. We're not like that hun - you know we only try to help and you're part of that.
I don't know why you got more and more upset angel - maybe the lateness of the hour, stress from something else, who knows? - but it would be a shame to leave over an innocent misunderstanding. Miro wouldn't be vindictive or nasty - none of us would cc.
I'm hoping you'll think it over and see Miro et al meant no harm and no reference to you hun. Come on back in - it's cold out there.
Much Love
