im giving up the fight

im near the end of my tether, esa are making my life a misery. they make you feel like you are a liar, a cheat a criminal. they dont let you breathe. my dr is just as bad. he gave me dihydrocodeine for 10 years for fibromyalgia pain and gave me the worst addiction you could imagine. after i took an overdose i questioned him about the length of time he prescribed this evil drug for and he angrily asked me to leave his surgery. i havent had the strength mentally or physically to do this and hes made my life hell ever since. i get no backing from him. i paid him for a supporting letter and he basically made me look a liar. i dont know what to do anymore. the thought of my 3 children have prevented me from taking my life until now but now even that is slipping from my grasp.

Mark, you are not alone in your experience of gp's who are not open to being wrong, I had a similar experience to you. Please think about changing to to someone who will listen and help. It really is one day at a time, try to find a little thing to treat yourself to each day, it will pass and remember there are people on here thinking of you.

I am sorry you feel the way you do. But please don’t give in. We all feel like that. If it is not in your nature to ask for help than every attempt you make is a mile stone and uphill struggle. Big hugs you are not alone. Rienij

Hi Mark, I am so very sad and sorry to read your post. Please get some help with your benefits from Fightback4justice, they fight our corner and we pay just their expenses.

Mark101010 you are not alone in this fight so do not think you are 💕you must see your self as a brave strong individual who has travelled this far and it is not time to give up the fight yet 💖we can only listen and support you as best we can. Please try and get someone to help you change GP, I know you feel let down by meds but there are others that can really help. Anot her GP can refer you to a rheumatologist who will advise on pain meds and perhaps anti depressants to help you in this difficult time. You must be doing something good if you have 3 beautiful children 💕their love will keep you strong. I feel for you but please do not give up as you are a beautiful person sending you love and peace💖✌please chat anytime 💕

Hi Mark. Please don't feel like giving up, think of your beautiful children. Have you thought about contacting the citizens advice bureau, they are really good. They would be able to help you fight or advice you on what to do with your Esa, Dwp .Can you change your Dr to a different one, i do get when u say they make you feel like a liar as i felt the same for many years. Your Dr isn't helping you, I'd put in a complaint as he sounds blinking awful and he's meant to be there's to help you not make you feel like a liar and that your lying. I note someone else had mentioned about talking to the Samaritans they are always there to listen to you. But please don't feel like giving up, there are plenty of us on here who would listen to u. Takecare of yourself. 🙂
