    Here's a novel idea, why dont you get a grip and go and look for a job and stop scrounging off the state with your pretend anxiety/depression or "stress", how bad would you have to be to not be able to do any work at all?!? bunch of lazy scrounging soap dodgers
    Wow.

    That was a really worthwhile post. It really shows your ignorance :)

    How am I doing that? I'm saying that people who leave their jobs because of stress need to be encouraged to get out there and reintegrate into society, for the sake of their own wellbeing.

    If you're going to try and argue that we should throw money at them instead, and indulge them in their desire to hide away from the world, justifying this irrational desire because of their "issues", then its you doing a disservice to people with mental health problems.:cool:

    How on earth do you suppose that you know what issues I have or haven't got?

    You obviously have a problem with me, possibly because I'm not as adept at pandering to and indulging folk as some people on here. I don't believe that you can help anyone with anything by only telling them what they want to hear. Apologies if that doesn't sit well with you, but please don't try to stir up trouble against me.:(
