    Help in dealing with the system when the system doesn't respect the problems you have. Problems such as being compelled to attend interviews with staff who are, let's just say, unhelpful, whiel having to deal with problems of anxiety and stress. I dont really want to discuss my issues here because there is unfortunately a very nasty intolerant streak that pervades these forums.

    Well, that's a good way to ask for help!

    Well if you do not want to discuss your 'issues' why have you asked this question? We are not mind readers!

    I don't want to discuss the issues here. I want to know if other people know of any sites. If you dont, then why are you responding other than to antagonise? I don't care to be bullied into discussing personal issues and your repeated fishing is doing exactly that. Please stop.

    I have responded suggesting that, if you do not want our help, you will find the answers you need on Google.

    richard9991 has posted giving you a suggestion, but you have not even thanked him, either through the Thanks button or by acknowledging his suggestion.

    Do you really expect people to help you, after you have suggested that they are very nasty and intolerant?

    You are the only person who is coming across as antagonistic.
