raah Flowers. God everyone's getting inflicted in one way or another,I missed what happened to your DS? Flowers

Raahh · 16/04/2019 19:58

smother, sorry, I've never really elaborated, but he has mh issues ( he's 16), and the last 18months or so have been hard. This last week things have escalated rapidly, and he made the call himself after a very bad night to get help (this was last week). His actions are affecting the whole family now, and I obviously have younger children to think of.

It's really hard. Sorry to dump it on the thread. I try not to. Sometimes, I can't help myself. Smile

Smotheroffive · 16/04/2019 20:00

Oh bless Raahh that's so sad. I hope they do give him the support and help he needs.

Thankyou, I'm sorry to bring it to the thread, but I always feel ok on this thread. I never use MN for 'help' really, more for escape, iyswim?

Raahh I hope your son can get the help and support he needs to achieve better health.
It's a difficult time for the whole family I'd imagine. Are you able to take a small amount of comfort from the fact he asked for help.Flowers

Sympathies to all those afflicted by the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. But this too shall pass as we know - even if it seems inconceivable at the time.

Redshoeblueshoe · 17/04/2019 13:46

This doesn't look very cheerful

Jeffrey?

What traffic, there is never traffic in Letherbridge.

Redshoeblueshoe · 17/04/2019 13:48

OMG do people really give random strangers personal information about their neighbours

LIZS · 17/04/2019 13:54

Bloke's office reception was same one as in Valerie's flashback episode.

JustDanceAddict · 17/04/2019 13:56

Really sorry to hear that Raaahh I hope he gets the help he needs.

Redshoeblueshoe · 17/04/2019 13:56

That's very observant Lizs

Gobby won't be able to keep her mouth shut

LIZS · 17/04/2019 14:03

Actually it is pretty sad I noticed and the episode was that dull.

Redshoeblueshoe · 17/04/2019 14:08

I think I should start watching something more cheerful

Redshoeblueshoe · 17/04/2019 14:12

Oh I hope that's Enzo on the phone

blamethecat · 17/04/2019 14:23

That was a bit political today, big bad government taking away from vulnerable people (not that they aren't), surely doctors is supposed to be light hearted ?
MS girl had terrible glasses and wasn't great at acting Confused
Surely gobby has seen several dead bodies before today ?

Binglebong · 17/04/2019 18:54

Well I'm depressed now after watching that tripe.

Madhairday · 17/04/2019 19:09

Raaah Flowers so sorry ds is struggling. It must be so hard for you.

Today's upset me because I'm on DLA still waiting for pip assessment, terrified they will take it away. They will if they see me on a good day when I can actually go out to a centre. Housebound at the moment. It's just really hit me because a lot of my friends and people I know who are chronically ill have lost their pip or ESA and its just sickening. Really hate it. The actress was pretty bad but the assessment centres do feel like that, like it's just a ticklist which doesn't take into account any nuances of the condition.

And breathe. Sorry to dump that one!!

Raahh · 17/04/2019 19:18

I only caught the gist of today s, as it was in whilst I was at my mum's.

mad that sounds really hard.Flowers.
I've only ever had to go to one Atos assessment, and I was 30 weeks pg at the time, so it was pointless, as I was going on mat leave anyway. It made me really ill, the whole thing, even though I knew it was just a waste of time.

Doctors is depressing at the moment. Sad

blamethecat · 17/04/2019 20:40

I'm sure the representation of the assessment was reasonably accurate, the whole system seems incredibly unfair and those who need it most seem to suffer.

LIZS · 17/04/2019 20:49

I'm not sure portraying it so negatively was sensitive to the potential audience though.

Raahh · 17/04/2019 20:50

I'm just catching up now- it's really depressing and horrible. And quite possibly really accurate. Sad.

The bloke who assessed me, was ok. But it was still, 9 years on, a humiliating and depressing experience. I was 30 weeks pg, had left work due to illness, and it was not an easy pregnancy. I knew it wasn't necessary- as I would be getting Maternity allowance anyway- but I still went. But other people were there with no choice. And no family. And I can only begin to imagine the shit that UC etc adds to the mix for people these days. So , Mad Flowers I really hope everything works out for you.

I hated the blokes smug smile when he thought he had caught her out over the fact she had been able to get back from the loo Sad.
