Anxiety attack

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know why but I've been feeling extra anxious today.

I'm anxious about the changes Brexit is going to bring.

I'm anxious because my partner has lost his job and we've got to find out how much financial support we're going to receive until he gets a new job.

I feel like I'm unattractive because I don't wear makeup and I can't afford to get my teeth sorted, and I'm fat because I just have no will power to lose weight.

I feel like I'm a failure because I'm thick and anxious and will never be rich or even close to rich. I'm so scared of what this will mean in the future, and I've been feeling VERY anxious about being homeless in the future. I am a respectable person, I don't want to ever be forced out of my home and on to the streets, having to rely on drugs and alcohol to dumb myself from the distress of being homeless.
I think it should be illegal to have anybody living on the streets no matter what financial circumstances one has.

Is it worth me overworrying that something bad is going to happen? Please soothe me with hope and reassurance.

I'm sorry your partner lost his job.

I thought you two were going to fight the termination.

In my opinion, natural beauty far outweighs anything makeup might add. Don't let your worst fears get the best of you Joe.

But really make sure your partner goes out and tries to find another job very, very soon.

I believe there is a substantial safety net in the UK----so I doubt very much that you will wind up homeless. At the very least, he will get money from Jobseekers Allowance. Don't they help with rent, too, should your income go below a certain level?

You have your mother. She would probably take you both in if the "worst case scenario" happened.

You have a job. Could you go full-time?

If you haven't already, you should go to a website known as "Money Advice Service."

I am almost certain you're entitled to "housing benefit."

I know I'm not going to be homeless for my partner losing his job, as we looked into it and are entitled to something, but I don't know how much yet. I'm more worried about being homeless in the future. I don't know how homeless people end up homeless but I hope it's due to declining help and having no respect for themselves, not unfair dismissal from their home because they can't afford to pay their rent.

All these worries keep going round in my head, what with Brexit and all. I am just concerned about how it is going to affect my life as an individual and the people around me. My work company is ran by a German company and I'm scared what that will mean, as I was hoping to never have to look for a new job again. Plus it's a bus company that runs essential bus services.

I hate all this. Why couldn't we have just stayed in the EU?
