Feeling persecuted and paranoid about being on benefits

Gemfire93

Hello does anybody else here have a feeling of worthlessness and low self worth for being on benefits? With all the comments about the benefit reforms and the media constantly making stories to demonise people who are on benefits it makes me feel like I’m subhuman, worthless, a lesser human being just because I am autistic and struggle to work. I have tried to do so in the past but struggled immensely, one job lasted just 2 days. 


how do I see the light at the end of the tunnel and be more positive? Any word of advice. Thank you.

  • I used to, but now I don't, there are other ways in which I can contribute to society. Maybe you've not recieved the help you need, as so many of us haven't? Don't let that stop you from being the best person you can be, one of the things I've noticed about many of the people who complain about people being on benefits, is that they're idea of justice and what is right, is indulgence for themselves and punishment for everybody else. Another thing about those who whinge about people on benefits, is that often forget that a huge number of people in receipt of benefits are in work, successive governments have been to afraid to make business pay a proper wage, have been to adraid to tackle the lack of afordable housing. Dont le tthe failling of successive governments make you feel bad and don't take to much notice of the press either, we're good for a kicking on a slow news day, or when a government or minister wants to be seen to be doing something that they won't do anything about. Be angry at the lack of services for people with ND not with yourself for being failed by the system.
