OK. Just take your time with it. It sounds like it's at least something positive to focus on once you get a bit of piece.

Abdominal tension has eased off a bit but on my 9th can of Guinness now. Been offered another flat and the council have said if I don't take it my application will be closed so I'll be stuck here. Druggie neighbours have gone quiet - for now. Note outside their door saying 'call this number'.

I don't know. My decision making is crap. Depends on how my neighbours are between now and friday. New flat = new neighbours to try and get on with.

Yes, I really need to do that on friday. The trouble is the computer voices and pains follow me everywhere I go.

That's interesting.

Would you like to have a job
Yes, but the problem is I've had problems with concentration and making mistakes in every job I've had. Done all sorts: electronics, warehouse, kitchen porter, security guard, weed sprayer, machine operator but all have had problems. Maybe if I got a job that was 'disability confident' for my ADHD I would get somewhere.


Yes that's a great idea. I wonder if there are any services that could help you with this near where you live.
I can't sign on at the Jobcentre atm as I'm over the £16,000 savings limit so can't get any help from them. I'm on PIP. The problem is I'm not very confident and if I took a job my PIP would probably get stopped so I could end up in the s**t.

Sorry Rossall, just seen this now.

Your PIP will not stop if you're employed. It is not means tested. There are many employed people claiming PIP. Could you apply for new style ESA? You may be eligible for that if you're not eligible for UC yet. I would contact your local Citizen's Advice office and have them do a benefit calculator for you.

CA can also help you with benefit applications.

Ask them about any services they're aware of that help with employment.

How do you feel about work from home jobs? Would that be suitable for you?

Well let us know how you get on with the viewing on Friday. If you decide to go.

Take things one step at a time. Maybe the voice my go quieter for you if you start to feel a little less stressed out.

It means you are being too compliant to DWP rules. You are following them like a computer would.
I don't know exactly what you are doing but you must be suffering by the way you follow the rules.

Took the flat today. Seems ok. Will give it a few weeks before I hand in my notice on this one. On the Guinness again today, feel massively stressed out and look like crap. Think my druggie neighbours have used my address to get a taxi and then done a runner so I can't get a taxi from the main local firm.

Yes my sister and her husband have got a trailer so I will probably ask for their help. It's a ground floor flat so not to difficult to get all my stuff in. It's in Atherton near Manchester, area looks quite nice.
