So I suffer with a mental illness called personality disorder. It effects every aspect of my life on a daily basis. One that is very uppsetting for me is that I struggle to work . This illness effects me to work because of medication and effects my mood. I've tried for many years to hold a job down and I can I end up usually in hospital. I'm 26 and really just want some independence back and too live on my own. I found a great studio which I'd love to move in to but my housing benefit despite being on two disabled Benefits. Does not cover my rent which is £650 I only get 440£ for help. My mum struggles herself so she can't help me as much as she wishes. I just get upset that I can't work to afford rent and go live on my own. I don't want to be 35 and still living at home. I don't know whether anyone will be willing to help but it's worth a try. I know there worst people off that need funding for other things. Which I get. I just wanna get on my feet and try deal with my illness on my own to tackle these issues in my head. I struggle being at home as I feel like I need to keep all emotions in. I just want to gain some independence back and normality. Thank you for reading my story :)
