As far as my situation is concerned I have been on IB over 2 years but I WANT to retrain and get another job that is NOT as stressful as my previous one so I DON'T suffer a relapse. Did you bother to read the whole thread???

Good for you. I suspect they will be pleased to have someone positive like you. I wish you every success!

Apologies to Killmark & Sheeps68 it's been quite a while since I was a regular poster on MSE and I've forgotten that it's easy to put the wrong "tone" on another poster's comments... (but I do think that your post needed further explanation Killmark imho )

I think I'm a bit defensive about being on benefits too coz I think it's generally seen as a shameful thing whatever your reason for claiming it

I've also got to get used to ignoring comments I don't like again rather than jumping into a bad reaction. If either of you 2 had wanted to criticise my situation this thread would probably be 100 posts long by now :o:o LOL
