Fell in a puddle earlier.
Two folk came & helped me up.
My MH is just dipping & dipping.
It is not a funny thing that happened to you, however, I misread dipping as dripping and I was trying to figure out what MH was in the context (mauve handbag / Mum's handkerchief / messy hair (??)) Then I realised my error and it made me smile briefly. I just want to send you some virtual hugs as I understand the MH struggle.Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
Mortgage today = £161,690.76
300 271 payments to go.House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000

Hi Beanie, sorry to hear you're struggling with your MH. Even though the medical evidence made grim reading, maybe that could be a good thing for the assessment, as opposed to how you actually feel, if that makes sense. You obviously have daily struggles but for the most come across as having a positive outlook on life and don't seem to let much hold you back, so try to hang on to that.
I fear none of that has come across as it's meant but hope you get the gist of what I'm trying to say. Look after yourself. xx1 -

We had a talk at work about MH awareness and it's great it's coming to the forefront and not the stigma it once was. I hope your RL friends are there to help you through the bad times - if not your virtual friends will xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1
