Could someone help me get some laundry disinfectant? No help yet, can anyone help me out? It will reduce my chances of being hospitalised with this again.

    It's not detergent I'm after, it's this strong disinfectant as I have a lot of skin infections.

    Some people definitely believe this stuff. I used to know someone who really believed this kind of thing. He had some type of undiagnosed mental illness and as well as believing things like this, he believed that everyone he knew was being paid by the government to stalk and harass him.

  • It's Dysautonomia Awareness Month - but we need to talk about EDS and ME/CFS
  • DisabledAceSocialist DisabledAceSocialist 2w ago 100%

    I went to the doctor complaining of awful fatigue. They refused to do any tests and diagnosed me with depression. When antidepressants made no difference, they diagnosed me with ME and sent me on my way with no help. I suffered like this for three and a half years and my life fell apart. It actually turned out to be thyroid cancer. So whenever someone gets diagnosed with ME now i always wonder if they actually have an underlying jealth issue but their doctors were just too lazy to look for it.

    Could anyone help me with getting food vouchers in the UK? Like a supermarket gift card or something?

    I've spoken about my financial problems on here before. Basically I'm going through a disability benefit appeal and have no money. The food bank is difficult to access regularly and it takes a long time to get an appointment. A couple of people on here have helped me out before with food, toilet paper and some toiletries for which I am so grateful. But I'm out of food now and have no means of accessing more. I would prefer not to accept money as the DWP (the nazis who run the UK benefit system) are checking people's bank and paypal accounts and how will I explain money going in. So I would be extremely grateful if anyone could give me any type of food vouchers that can be used in the UK. Like a supermarket voucher for Sainsburys/Asda/M&S or Tesco. Or a justeat voucher. Anything I can spend on food.

    would anyone help me get some toiletries?

    As mentioned on here previously, I'm going through a disability benefit appeal and have no money at all. So I have no way of getting any little thing I need. I'm very thankful to have been helped on here to get some food previously. I've run out of toiletries, I need toothpaste, dental floss, shampoo, soap, sanitary pads, laundry detergent, toilet paper and painkillers. However now the DWP (the nazis who run the UK benefit system) are checking people's bank accounts, I don't think I can dare to accept money any more in case I can't explain to them why people are paying me money. If anyone would be willing to help, I have an amazon wishlist, or the things i need could be ordered from Boots, or anywhere that does toiletries.

    Need help with basics and overdraft fees. - Request filled.

    Thank you so much! I don't know what I would have done without you. I made a post last week asking for help with food, and I'm so grateful that a couple of people responded and I was able to buy food and other basics I need like sanitary towels, soap and toothpaste. However on Tuesday I'm going to be debited £55 in overdraft fees/interest. (I'm living in an overdraft while I wait for my disability claim to get sorted out. I've spoken about why I'm in this mess on here before if anyone's interested.) I just don't have enough left to cover the overdraft fees and when they're taken I'll have nothing left again for food. I feel awful asking for help on here again but I have no-one else to turn to. If anyone is able to help I would be so thankful and relieved.

    I certainly do feel I've experienced a huge amount of medical malpractice but I simply don't have the energy or strength to do anything about it. The thought of taking on a ;egal case or something that would probably drag on for years is too much. It's hard enough keeping up with the benefit appeal.

    Thanks but I feel bad about using it again when so many others are there needing help. Also I'm worried people might get compassion fatigue from me if I use it too often. I am pretty desperate though, I don't know. How often do you think is OK?
    The NHS has let me down even worse than that - it took them three and a half years to diagnose my cancer. They refused to do any tests initially, saying I was "too young for it to be anything serious." They diagnosed me with depression and gave me antidepressants. When that didn't work they said I was a hypochondriac. Meanwhile I was slowly dying of cancer. Also when I was finally diagnosed they said the recommended treatment didn't have any side effects. Then when I had a stroke and developed heart problems they were like "Oh yeah those are side effects of your meds."

  • I'm starting to hear a depressingly familiar sentiment from older millennials who have struggled
  • DisabledAceSocialist DisabledAceSocialist 3w ago 100%

    I'm an older millennial. My experience might not be typical since it was caused by serious illness as well as capitalism. When I was young I was idealistic and wanted to make the world a better place. I wanted to fight for human equality and animal rights, I really thought this is what I came to earth for. I worked a few different jobs, donating a chunk of my paychecks to causes I care about while trying to find out how to get more involved.

    But then I got cancer, and the treatment caused me to have a stroke, which left me partially sighted and learning to walk again. I'm still in cancer treatment, it makes me exhausted and brain foggy, and I've developed chronic, severe migraines. But what makes this a million times worse is the UK benefit system. I can't work any longer and had to sign on for disability benefits. They re-assess me frequently, and make me go through MRs and appeals. Last time I provided letters of support from my GP, physiotherapist, ophthalmologist and mental health team (because I've developed depression and anxiety from this constant stress, it got so bad I made a suicide attempt and am now in therapy). I also provided letters of support from a carer and social worker. Somehow at my last assessment I was awarded zero points. Now I'm going through appeal. My overdraft is maxxed out, I have no money, just debt.

    This means my entire life now revolves around desperately trying to stay fed, while being extremely unwell and undergoing regular horrible medical treatments. My entire mental and physical energy are taken up with trying to find food, desperately trying to access food banks (difficult and time consuming), fight my appeal. I've taken to outright begging and shoplifting. I've been stealing food items from the local supermarket, one day in desperation I even sat in the street and asked passersby for spare change. I recently begged for money here on hexbear and a couple of kind souls gave me enough for some food. But every time someone charitable helps me get food, it of course always runs out and when it does it's back to begging, shoplifting and starving. All for the crime of getting cancer.

    You know what's even more stupid? due to chronic starvation I developed multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies, diagnosed by blood tests after I fainted in the street and someone called an ambulance. So now the NHS pays for me to have supplements. But the country won't ensure me an income so I can buy food. How stupid is this! They won't give me money, so I starve to the point I collapse and instead of doing the reasonable thing and ensuring I have food, they let me continue to starve but give me some vitamin pills. This worls is just absolutely sick.

    So now I have no physical or mental energy to fight to make the world a better place. I feel completely hopeless, and like the world itself is hopeless because there are many people in an even worse situation than me. Millions, maybe billions. It's all so overwhelming.

    Please, someone help me, I'm starving. - filled

    EDIT: Several people responded and now I have enough to eat for a few weeks while I wait for my benefit appeal to go through. It may take months but at least I'm OK for now. Thanks so much everyone, I really appreciate it. I made a post here a few days ago but no response. I'm starving, I've got no family to help, no money and no way of getting food. I explained my situation in my previous post. I've tried everywhere for help and have received none. I just don't know what else to do. Even the three churches I tried turned me away with nothing. I'm at the end of my rope here.

    I was vegan for years until my disability benefits got stopped. Now I'm going through an appeal and have no money. My overdraft is maxxed out. The food banks takes so long to access, but when they do give me food I eat whatever they give as I'm so hungry, whether it's cheese, chicken soup or whatever. Beggars can't be choosers. I now realise what a huge luxury being able to choose your own food is. I've even tried begging for financial aid on hexbear and even in the street, no-one will help. So now I eat whatever i can get.

    Please help me get some food.

    I'm a partially sighted stroke and cancer patient, currently going through a disability benefits appeal. I have no money and my overdraft is maxxed out. The next food bank appointment is 30th Sept, and I have nothing to eat until then. I already haven't eaten in three days. I've tried everything, olio, churches, checking supermarket bins, etc. I'm desperate. I even tried selling my prescribed medications online on another website but got banned for that. I have nothing else to sell. Someone please help.
