The EADD Mental Health Support Thread

Yeah it was the rule when i claimed .
& when i re claimed .
So yeah i think i am right but fuk what would i know about it i've only been dealing with the B.A for 16 years
edit
yeah ok that wound me up but this ain't a benefits thread & when people that have NO personal knowledge of claiming Disability Benefits start making suggestions about it they should back it up .
You never know i could have been quite helpful

I had no idea you could claim DLA for mental health. I will definitely be putting in a claim, ESA are absolutely destroying my mind at the minute saying I am fit for work when I am worse than I have ever been.

Sorry, the last thing I was trying to do is wind anyone up. If you've 16 years experience then fair enough, that's a lot more than I do. All I'm saying is that even in the very relatively short time I've been involved in the benefits system I've seen a lot of rule changes and heard a lot of things said which no longer seem to be reflected in the rules.

Anyway, I don't want to be confontational, but it's definitely not a rule that you've had to be claiming incapacity/ESA for any minimum length of time to get DLA. It's not written anywhere in the eligibility criteria. Plus, I know someone who got DLA like 3 weeks ago and wasn't on ESA beforehand. And you can get DLA if you're in employment, it's not a work-related benefit. So it cannot be a rule, sorry.

Anyway, I didn't want to piss you or anyone else off, I was just trying to be helpful.
 
Yeah I respect that it's tough. I'll keep that in mind in future, particularly in this thread, don't want to come across as flippant. This is serious stuff.
 
Cheers it is serious & hard to talk about hence most of don't . Thing is i know for a fact that their are BLers that suffer horrible stuff on the daily & i've actually got to know and build strong relationships with some of these really cool people.
 
Doc has made an appointment with a psychiatrist. A trigger point is work related,involving writing off my car driving to work fucking fuming an hour and a half early,my boss upset me.I shouldn't have let him,like everyone else. My brain is a mixed up jigsaw. Sometimes my mind is fragile ,he knows this and he says things he knows will fire me up,i can laugh and joke,when i am not right,i flip,what he said,there was NO REASON WHATSOEVER.
Sometimes you can only put up with a CUNT for so long.
Maybe writing the car off was a blessing in disguise,i don't even know what i was going to do,i was in a seething rage.

This is a small proportion of whateverthefuck they labelled me.

Fuck it at least i won't have to back to that dreary shithole,rest of'em sound as.

lol that reminds me of a couple of smokers that have to have their rizla roaches torn off in a system of perfect rectangles of sorts.. I've helped myself and torn a random bit of roach off and they go ballistic.. Its like an ocd thing, ive seen a few people with it.

Are you ocd?

Yup I am a drug seeking, blagging, addict scrooloose.

having had serious bouts of proper OCD (one example, thought everything was contaminated with mercury, would not touch floor barefooted, wouldn't wash clothes in house washing machine, wouldn't touch any door handles without washing hands, if anything touched anything deemed contaminated had to be washed thoroughly, basically took up 90% of my time, eventually moved out and threw away 90% of my possessions at that house) i really fucking hate the pop culture idea of OCD. the WHO rates it as one of the most debilitating disorders for a reason. it's become trivial and amusing when in reality it is extremely distressing and basically stops a person's life when in the midst of it's grip. the compulsion for the rituals beats any drug addiction hands down and i'm an opi-head

in relation to this thread i've just finished the best psych work i've ever done (i'm still doing drugs but that isn't because of mental issues, it's because i like getting high, i was never high at the sessions and generally cut back around the work) and am in the best place mentally i've been since i was 13 and serious shit went down. the treatment i've had (on the NHS) has been amazing, so much respect and gratitude to those guys.

What kind of psych work did you get ? (if you dont mind me asking ? I'm considering various options myself so am interested to hear that something has worked really well.)

@Scroolose, good luck with the Psychiatrist man !! If your job was causing you that much trouble, like you say, it's probably the best thing for you if it has finished ! Maybe 'self-destructive driving' isn't the best way of venting your emotions though eh...
 
Np darlin....

I've been self medicating for years and think its time I went to see what a psychiatrist has to offer. Its mostly episodes of dark depression. My black dog :/

Sometimes I'd love to get in an emotionless state scrooloose.
 
your friend can get most of their support elsewhere. you don't need to abandon them to wind down your efforts a bit.

mostly though, are you exaggerating the load your friend puts on you?

maybe not!
 
no exagerration, I love her to bits, but she has borderline personality disorder and often goes on massive angry rants at me and then blames me for her problems and then gets even more mad then decides she is suicidal and then the next day says sorry and we are happy again, sometimes this happens over a couple of hours from anger to happiness
 
is she getting the proper support she needs? from elsewhere. in your position right now, i'd guess the best support you can give is to help her make sure she gets this, and to make sure she realises you have your own problems.

you can still be there for her while looking after yourself. you have to look after yourself, if you want to be there for other people.
