I am worried about the new government stopping my benefits and I don’t like change much also I’m worried about them changing pip to vouchers anyone else felt worried about this?
I heard this on the radio and so decided to try my utmost not to focus on what I see as scaremongering. I do see how Anxiety can keep going and going and going and going despite loads of different coping strategies everyone tried to do. I try to think of it this way - I don't know what the future holds with my benefits which is hugely frightening as I know I am unable to work. What I also know is that I was able to take steps with my last local M.P. who helped me to fight the system and receive what I was entitled to. It's disgusting that anyone has to take these steps but I believe it's as a direct result of people milking the system so to speak. I keep myself away from researching the topic and watching things that are triggering to me. When something happens, I seek help and support when I can't fight it myself. It's so difficult to trust other people will help but that's the only option I feel I have and it seems to work out okay most of the time.
I'm sending calm vibes as I know how sickening it is to be in that mental tortuous loop.
