  1. My biggest gripe (aside from being disabled and only being able to work part time, so it makes no sense to buy a mega rider as the times so can use my. Pass it's pointless) is the current stagecoach works. Usually I can catch the 10:50 (ish) tram from meadowhall (if I finish late) and my pass will be avid for that journey as it started before 11pm, but because of the tram replacement works that tram gets to castle square after 11 and I now have to pay for ten continuation of the journey. I accept having to pay before 9:30am, it's a pain on a part time wage (and I only get Lowe dla which these journeys take up the majority of) but having to pay extra because stagecoach decided to so these works doesn't seem as fair. I wouldn't object to paying a token amount but it irks me that children still get their 70p fare yet diasabled people who work are getting penalised
  2. the jolly fryer-hillsbrough friendly guys too
  3. I'm currently waiting to see if i have a problem with my thyroid, the last test i had indicated there might be a problem but i have to wait for another blood test and results before my psych will refer to me an endocrrinolgist(sp?), slightly scared of it all if i'm honest.
  4. I successfully claimed for depression (and bpd) first time round (and i know of 2 other people who get it for MH conditions), as someone else said its all based on care and mobility needs. I got help from CAB as i found i struggled to do the forms myself.
  5. Whatever is now on at the nelson won't compare to how good the rockaoke was, least it has a new venue where i'm sure the crowds will now go to
  6. It really does vary between drugs and people. I've so far been on 3 AD's. fluoxetine (Prozac) -on this for about 6 months -helped initially, lowered anxiety -increased insomnia -eventually sent me hypomanic so had to come off it Citalopram -on for about 4-5 months -didn't improve mood -sex drive went completely -mood swings got more extreme -still increased insomnia -increased self harm and suicidal indention-ended up with suicide attempt Trazodone -on for around 6 months -at forst made me drowsy and helped with sleep -sex drive came back -kept me stable for a while -had to keep have dosage upped, ended up on maximum -sent me hypomanic After that i got taken off Ad'sand put on Olanzapine(mood stabiliser), then was switched to another mood stabiliser: Quetiapine Now back on fluoxetine with Quetiapine I'll either be on meds for a few years or if i still relapse possibly life.
  7. I looked at the manifesto myself. As someone who's on ESA i have a right to be worried.
  8. My friend with bipolar was attending one of these support groups http://www.mdf.org.uk/ Another point of call would be asking psychiatrist/CPN/social worker for a referal as i think there are various support groups
  9. The tories want one benefit for all. one benefit which will be equal to JSA and likely to have requirements (like looking for work). This takes no account of the genuine sick and disabled. They will be the ones unable to fulfil the requirements for this new benefit. They will be the ones kicked off and let to stave (or kill themselves). And what do you know-but the tories have reduced the unemployment rates! Anyone with good health won't see a problem, but sickness/disability could strike any of you down. Under tory rules even if you were dying of cancer you'd be fit to work.
  10. 2 of us in my house (myself included) have had very dodgy stomachs after eating food from Chino's. Could be unrelated but the other person didn't listen to me, ate there and also went down with it. Though we do now joke whenever we see the delivery van that we should order and as they drive up play Poision by Alice Cooper.
  11. I'm pretty sure Cameron would have gotten on well with Hilter. they both seem to have the same idea about the sick and disabled
  12. After being harassed yet again by these vultures i have emailed Smiths with a complaint. I'm not going back in there till they've gone. :rant:
  13. Has anyone who has died, died from taking mephadrone alone? The ones i've read about so far all mixed it with something else.
  14. The main reason would be because they are banned from driving/would have their licence denied if they applied. Think about it, giving someone who is mentally unstable/possibly suicidal the use of a car? Not to mention my medication is one of the worst fro drowsiness. For those reasons i can't drive but still need to get around (i have appointments in hillsboro on a weekly basis) i also get the lower rate mobility part of DLA as i need supervision when out as i am liable to lose concentration/wander into traffic etc, so being on a bus is safer than me walking around on my own.
  15. I think i'm one of the few smokers who doesn't smoke in bus shelters i just usually stand away from the bus top next to the nearest bin.
  16. heard someone had jumped from a bridge in front of a train. As of about an hour ago no trains were running and police were stopping people from going to the train platforms/trams. Not sure if trams have started up again yet. Thoughts go out to family and friends of whoever was involved. I was told then that buses in and out of r'ham and to sheffield were running but otehrs may have been delayed
  17. My depression first started when i was 11, i was bullied at school, pretty much turned it all inwards and well, i'm 23 now and still battling it. I have recurrent depression, as i've had (more than) three episodes of severe depression in five years. I've had counselling in the past though it never really worked, have been on this course of medication since 2008. Still trying to get the right meds. Out of 3 AD's i've had a hypomanic response to 2(Fluoxitine and Trazodone) , the other (Citalopram) led to me trying to kill myself. I'm now on my second mood stabiliser(Seroquel, after being on Olanzipine), though my psych is considering introducing an AD again as although the MS is working i'm still down. Things are complicated by also having BPD. I did have 3 sessions of CBT but because i said i felt i needed extra support (and got it in the form of a CPN and OT) they stopped the CBT as apparently you can't be in primary and secondary services at the same time. Currently unable to work because of it, doesn't help that stress is the main trigger for my depression. Last job led to this current episode/nervous breakdown, they also got rid of me for being off sick. Hoping to go to college this year, and then after that volunteer before retruning to work.
  18. As others have said, creates more jobs etc I tend not to use the sainsbury'slocal as its overpriced, usually have to get the bus to big (abbeydale) road tesco, or shop onlne.lf aldi is cheap it gets my vote.
  19. I've never had a problem prebooking appointments whether it be a week or 4 weeks in advance. Don't know whether that's cos i need to have regular appointments, but its shocking that its taking some places 2 weeks to get people in.
  20. Had my lip done there a few years ago, staff were very friendly and also really professional (cleanest piercing studio i've ever been in!) Same can also be said for tattoo's there, bf had his first one done there, and he'll be going back for his next!
  21. I love them, but not for everyday wear.
  22. They have to do a credit check because at the end of day you're dealing with people's financial details. (Though if i am brutally honest you could also consider this a lucky escape from that hell hole)
  23. You are allowed to be ill for up to two weeks and still be considered to be capable for work providing you continues to meet all the other basic criteria for JSA except those relating to being available for work and actively seeking work. If you are ill for longer than two weeks then your JSA will be stopped and you will need to claim either income support or employment and support allowance. You can only be ill twice in any one period of claiming JSA. If you have claimed JSA for longer than one year then you can be ill twice in every year. After your illness you will be asked to sign a written declaration which indicates the period when you were unwell. If you are ill for a third time during a period of claiming or during any subsequent year your JSA will be stopped and you will need to claim either ESA or IS instead. If you are ill up to eight weeks after a period in which you were entitled to: incapacity benefit; or severe disablement allowance; or statutory sick pay; or income support with a disability premium on incapacity grounds; then your JSA will be stopped and you will need to claim your previous benefit again. http://www.benefitsnow.co.uk/jsa/capable.asp
