If I stay with the HA when my saving go bellow 16k(which won't be for a very long time.) The Council will just reinstate my HB to the same as it was before and I will still have my home.

Why not make the final decision to stay where you are and stop running through the arguments again and again?

You will then have the time and energy to think how to improve your life where you are now. Start looking forward in your life.

Have you asked about getting some private help to manage the problems you have with life? It would be a good use of your inheritance to spend some of it on getting support.

Well now that I'm back in Essex I keep on thinking- Have I done the right thing choosing to stay here?
Or will I regret it later?

But then the decision I made is not set in stone or final.
I can change my mind anytime and move if I want to.

I never got the chance to even go to the letting agents because of the hotels.

I thought I would just go up there stay for a few days.
Go to the letting agents and at least discuss my options with them.

You know renting private or buying a property and get the answers I needed. And even view properties but nothing happened.
My stay kept getting longer and longer but nothing happened.
Except that I lost 2k because I spent it all on hotels.

That is not what I planned.
And I feel I only saw one side of Liverpool and I am basing my views on the attitude of the hotel staff and my stressful time in the hotels.

Maybe Liverpool is not so bad but I just saw the wrong side of it because I was in a hotel.

Which is hard because you have not got access to food and things like you have at home in a flat.

And you have to ask the staff for everything and wait before you get it if they are busy.

I mean if I had to live like that for 3 weeks here I would not like Essex either.
Maybe Liverpool is not so bad but I just saw the wrong side of it by staying in hotels.

But it is clear the whole thing was planned wrong.

I did not have to go up there and spend 3 weeks in Liverpool.
I should have just phoned up the letting agents from my home in London.

Then I could have arranged a time and a date to come up there and meet with the letting agent and look at some properties.

And have planned it all properly.
Then I would not have spent money for nothing.

It does not take 3 weeks to view properties.

And I don't see why I should pay for private mental health support, when that's something that my health trust should be doing for me, on the NHS.

1. Because the NHS will take ages to help you.
2. Because you need it.
3. Because you can afford it.

If I were in your position, it would be a no-brainer.
