The last few days I felt I was making progress, been off my meds for 4 weeks now and been using vit b12 omega3 5htp and a tinture I got from my herbalist and have notice a positive improvement. Today I'm feeling very down again because I feel trapped in poverty. I have not worked for a long time and can't claim benifits for reasons I posted on here a while ago. I just used my last £10 to too up my gas meter and now have no money for food, rent bills ect. Was suppose to pay my rent today but couldn't so now worried as I'm on my final warning for not paying my rent so scared I will be homeless very soon. I have no work until April so don't know how to survive until then. And on top of all that my head gasget went on my car yesterday so now have no transport and can't work without a vehicle. I have been applying for loans over the past month and just get declined all the time so that's not an option anymore. The thing that upsets me the most is that I have run out off all my supplements that have been really helpful to me but can't buy anymore now. I had an appointment booked to see my herbalist on Saturday and had to cancel it as that means money again. I was hoping that after the most awful year of my life things would get better now but it looks like I'm starting a new year of hell again
Michael,
People from Citizen Advice ( if your in the UK ) can help you and you may be entitled to ESA benefits if you can get a doctors note. As well as this there are food banks again you need to get voucher from you parish vicar, doctor or someone similar and this can help you get a few meals in you at no cost.
Dont let the new year start the way you're think today, tomorrow is another day, and if you plan you know you can do everything you can to turn it around. the fact your trying to make a difference too shows others to that you need support.
Hello Michael, sorry your suffering hard times. Please try CAB, social services or charities. You need help to get back on your feet again. Ring rent people explain your situation and ask that they give you some breathing space. Hope things improve for you soon. Take care.
Elizabeth.
Thanks for your kind advice. I have been on touch with my housing association about all this but they won't listen because I went to court last year about my rent arrears and was put on a payment plan but I have now breached that through no fault of my own so they will now serve me with an eviction order. The good thing is that it all takes months for them to do that so I have time to try and get some money together. I'm just praying and hoping that I can get some kind of job in the meantime. There is a food bank about 15 miles from where I live but I think you have to be claiming benifits to be able to use that.
Nah if you got to your doctor or local preist they can refer you to.
For food bank I mean sorry
Ok thanks I will try that
Hi Michael, Food banks can be used for people who have no income as well as people who are waiting for benefits. Get referal asap please. You need to eat to keep your strenght up. I hope and pray that you can sort your financial situation shortly.
