I'm not really sure what I want to say about this or how to put it

But my friend has been found dead. Details are at the moment a bit confused and nothing confirmed but it's pointing to suicide

I hadn't had contact with him for about six months then when he asked for help I obviously didn't do enough

about my friend

I found out at 8pm, I'm still taking it in to be honest.

This country stinks to high hell

Once again the DWP and ATOS have blood on their hands. 11,000 so far in the ESA/WCA scheme.

I'm so sorry for your loss x

thanks don't feel sorry for me though, I'm ok.

I didn't know whether to post or not but I got so much good advice it feels sort of wrong to not say what's happened.

I'm just a bit wtf at the moment, it feels a bit surreal really

This is so sad.

Please do not blame yourself. You are absolutely not responsible for this tragedy.

So sad that too many people feel dehumanized and bereft under this government; this is appalling. Your poor friend.

It's telling the DWP are now refusing to disclose these stats.
