Help with everything

Alexswan2001

Hi everyone, 

What  a relief to have found a community like this. I swear I've come to the NAS page 1,000 times and I never managed to work out this had a forum. 

How is everyone doing? I need some advices, I'm struggling heavily for a few years with things like housing, work, and money. I could really use some mentoring or basically someone to guide me through these issues. I get so overwhelmed with coping, I feel stuck and I just dont know which way to move forward...

Where can I go to get this sort of coaching/help? I'm basically homeless and work feels too daunting but I'm struggling financially. Currently at tribunal stage with PIP as they marked me 0 across the board saying basically i'm physically capable so I dont get anything.

Heeeeeeeeeeelp. 

Alex

    Go to your GP first and discuss your mood; it is easy to get depressed and not realize it. Ask him/her if they have a social prescriber. This is not counselling - you talk to this person to get an overview of your problems, and then, with their guidance, begin making plans. It's wise to get help defining the problem, rather than trying to tackle everything at once by yourself, then getting overwhelmed and frustrated (which is where you seem be). It also gives hope that there is a future for you. If you don't have a faith, try The Daily Stoic - it's a cross between meditation and a focussed Journal - a good way of starting every day. Doing nothing will render things worse. Best of luck! This is a great place to socialise and forget your worries for a while!
