    Beanie, the NHS is about far more on an individual basis that "money in/money out" - some people may pay in all their lives and never need more than the odd course of antibiotics, others may call on a higher level of assistance - but NOBODY is any less worthy of its help than anyone else. You may feel that you're just a drain on it, but that is certainly not true, and if anyone within the NHS has been making you feel like that, I'd suggest a strongly worded complaint would be very much in order. Have a think about what you would say to someone else on here who was thinking in those terms, and treat yourself with the same level of compassion you would show others! 

    And yes - Buffy makes a great point - even on the cloudiest of days, there's always blue sky and sunshine up there somewhere!
    Thank you  xx

    Absolutely (and I work in the NHS).

    That’s one good thing about us no longer having a cat flap. Female cats are devils for hunting. Have you got a gas fire? It could be under there, that’s where we found a field mouse our cat brought in.
