Finding it hard to cope

[annaslyric]

Hi everyone I haven't posted for a few months, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid and oesteoarthritis in march, so as well as losing my health I have also lost my job as being ill Heath retired, and now I being evicted

And the council say that there are no council properties left, on top of that my cat was hit by a car and I had to put her down. This year has been really difficult, but the lack of energy and daily pain is really hard to deal with I am a 41 year old but physically feel a lot older, sorry rant over, please tell me I'm not the only one finding it hard

To accept this awful condition, thanks for listening, anna

Jeez that sounds tough.

Why are they evicting you? Surely with your health issues they should find you somewhere?

Really sorry to hear about your little cat.

Do you have family and friends for support? Perhaps there is a support group near you, if you don't. Also what about goi g to CAB for advise about housing? All this is the last thing you need.

Yes, I struggle too with the pain and exhausting.

One day at a time.

Take care.

Hi Anna ,

I am sorry you are having such a hard time.

My issues do not compare to yours , however I do have the pain and started on Methotrexate about a month ago and am now feeling a Respiratory Infection coming on.

I hope you can get all of this worked out.

Oh my, I'm speachless..... when it rains, it pours. You are really having a rough ride. I really feel bad about the situation you find yourself in.

I don't understand how your housing system works, but surely don't take your eviction lying dow. Find a disability advocate to help you. I find it hard to believe that it is legal to evict someone who is disabled. Don't allow your council to harrass you, seek advice from an advocate. Then make a complaint to your government elected official ( called MP or an MLA in Canada. I'm sure you have an equivalent) These elected officials work for you.

Anyways, a couple of years ago, my elderly, sickly parents were getting evicted from social housing. Once I got our MP's office involved, all eviction notices stopped. It is illegal to evict the disabled or elderly people without "just cause" . I'm sure it is illegal in your country too.

All the best to you
