that thing called irony.plus moomin link!

Apologies in advance for my appaling use of the french language!and for the swearing, but no other words doing justice, so im really sorry.
ok, i tried today. honestly i realy have, but seriously it doesnt rain crap it pours. im still trying to reach my happy goals for the day, so do excuse me if i start waffling randomly about moomins, bagpuss, or my ponies, im trying to think happy thoughts.

ever heard the song 'ironic' by alanis morrisette?
that is my life!

so there i was feeling realy pleased with myself-i had a nice chat with my gal to give her birthday love, whilst listening to crap boyband cd, started my anatomy assignment, and drumroll please...read the letter from police liason, and yeh it made me cry, but im proud of how i carried on after, and went out to visit my friend and introduce her to the wonder of the moomins to cheer self up.

when i got home, postman been-incidently, does anyone remember the days when the post used to come in the morning, and like get delivered twice a day?!my post comes at 3pm everyday, when its getting pretty late to do anything about it! so got a letter ssaying, that obviously, as im so much better, a no longer entitled to benefit.great.they tel me this one day before payday, when i can do fuck all about it ( je suis tres desolee for poor french-i know thats not right, but can only sort of remember, and having bad day!). I went for fun medical for jobcemtre people a few weeks ago, idiot doctor that interupted me when ever i tried to explain anything, and didnt listen when i told him i was STILL waiting to get some help, and actually, worse off than when i first started claiming. But hey, it says on my med report that i can remember to take my meds on time, so obviously am totally better. So got on the phone and asked to be sent a appeal form, and ask what they expect me to do with no job, benefit, money etc for the 4 weeks this will take.reply-'not their problem'.great. so then phoned the crisis loan service and now have to go and be interogated by them tomorow.thsi is shit.

i would very much like to be in happy day after day moomin world right now.

so, im thinking its really ironic-that i have to get ten times worse to be considered 'ill' by the jobcentre-and to be honest id like to see them try and deal with an impending court case, an eating disorder, a stomach ulcer that has flared up, and all the head fuck stuff im trying t sort at the moment, wothout having to deal with their shit on top. and i have been trying to get my cpn to call me back for 3 days now and im getting really fucking pissed off now.
also think is ironic that lack of income means that il be getting worse anyway-via forced starvation, and the fact that NHS are soo cak they refuse to help me unless i reach their target weight (which is a lot less than i am, so excuse me NHS for my bmi)

AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGG

but its ok though...cos we love the laughter and we love the living the moomins....

sorry guys, another rant, im trying to pick it up, honest!

I hate, hate how f-ed up health care systems and benefit systems and all of those things are. It's so unfair that you have to deal with all of this on top of the ED. Like you don't have enough to deal with as it is. I think appealing is exactly the right thing to do--do you continue to get benefits while the appeal is pending? And it's so amazing that you are not letting that letter get to you and that you are going on and doing things that make you happy and that are positive.

Keep hanging in there!

I wish we could all just go to moomin land! This is so adorable!

Our benefits system sucks - straight out of inpatient and I was forced to get a job straight away cos they wouldn't let me have any kind of support. Now I've left that awful job and am on jobseekers, and the way the benefits people look down at you when you sign on is horrible. Even though I've been doing so much job searching arghhh more than alot of people on benefits.

My advice would be, if at all possible, to go on jobseekers until you get an appeal, then at least you'll have some income..

There will be a solution to your financial situation, so hang in there :-)

I'm sorry hun. I am thinking of you and I really hope the people you see tomorrow can help you in some way. I'm not in the UK so I can't comment on the benefits system but it doesn't sound good. Ziggy sends Ziggy hugs!

Wow...when it rains it DOES pour. So sorry that you're having to deal with so much right now. Any ONE of those things would be stressful, let alone putting it all together. I wish I knew what to say. Hang in there. And thinking of you.
