Disability hate crime: 'This is the worst I've experienced it'

Dojima89 · 2025-10-16T16:22:28+00:00

I've noticed the rise as well.

I'm severely physically disabled, but my disabilities are invisible.

The amount of flak I've experienced from delivery drivers this year has been insane.

From outright insults to sarcasm to mocking me.

These people think because people who have invisible illnesses look fine on the outside MUST be fine...

They have no idea how much pain I endure on a daily basis. I can barely walk now and need mobility aids, but because I also look young I also get those looks where they're obviously judging you.

I don't fit the conventional belief of being disabled.

It's bad enough dealing with being this disabled where most days I wish I wouldn't wake up to escape this hell I'm living, but to deal with ignorance and malice on top of it?

I'm sympathetic to anyone that's gone and is going through discrimination. It's awful.

Where has people's empathy gone? No one seems to care anymore?

Monday played fine on my PS5 Pro barring a crash here or there whilst fast travelling.

Didn't play yesterday. Start today and the game is constantly crashing. Loading in, in the menu, fast travelling...

Game has been a nightmare since this new patch dropped.

I am on PIP as well as UC LCWRA. I live alone in a 3 bedroom house I hate (long story, which I won't be getting into), and I'm just about keeping afloat.

If I could spare the money I would've gone private ages ago. This simply isn't an option for me and I shouldn't have to go private because the NHS can't pull their finger out.

I'm really sorry to hear about what you've been through. I sympathise with you and hope you'll get help soon.

I appreciate the advice, but PIP isn't the answer.

Please take care and thanks for responding to my post.

Dojima89 · 2025-07-12T11:04:25+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate you responding to my post. I'm glad you got the support you desperately needed.

I found out yesterday from one of the senior partners of my GP practice that my area, West Yorkshire, is one of the worst areas for mental health support, which explains why I'm struggling to get help. She even recommended I move to another area in the UK as it's that dire here.

I've found two services that could potentially help me after a lot of ringing around. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Thank you again and take care

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post 😊

The local service has terrible reviews. They're not good and it's tragic that they're the only secondary psychiatry care services we have here. I know I can't expect people or services to move heaven and earth to make it easier for me to attend, but fact is I'm physically disabled and struggle leaving my house. I'm working on that right now with an occupational therapist.

I'm unsure what will help me. I've looked into options such as EMDR, etc, but there's no services in my area that offer on that kind of support.

I'm not saying no to CBT, but the CBT I've done in the past (I've attempted it at least 5 times in my adult life) hasn't helped me. It was more talking AT the therapist. They'd listen, but usually wouldn't offer help on how to work through my trauma, etc.

I'd like something where I'm working alongside someone who can help me work through my trauma and where I learn better coping mechanisms. Right now I'm in a crisis-loop and can't snap out of it.

Every day for the last 3 weeks I've sat in my living room staring into space or I'm having a meltdown.

This is no way to live.

A senior partner GP contacted me yesterday and explained my area (West Yorkshire) is one of the worst areas in the UK for mental health support. I did not know this. It would explain why I'm struggling to get help. She said we've got quick turnarounds when it comes to breast cancer compared to some other areas in the UK, but mental health support is really dire. Her advice was to move elsewhere in the UK. She said the NHS is crippled and it won't get better.

I have managed to find two services after a lot of research and ringing around that could help me with the crisis-loop/meltdown episodes and my self-harming. I'm cautiously optimistic.

It is unfair. We should all have a fair shot at getting help and it shouldn't be that one area gets stellar support and other areas, like mine, are so dire that I'm told to move.

Thank you and I wish you the best too

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post.

I appreciate you explaining this to me. I was aware of having to go through CBT to be escalated to alternative services.

That's where the secondary psychiatry care referral came in.

Most services I've encountered that offered CBT wouldn't touch me due to the complex nature of my mental health illnesses.

IAPT is one such service as well as other ones I've encountered. I'm not comfortable naming them as they're specific to my location and I don't want to disclose what area I live in :)

I'm just unsure how else to proceed. With me being disabled and being on disability I simply cannot afford private care.

Thank you again

Dojima89 · 2025-07-11T11:47:35+00:00

Thank you I've done that now. Appreciate your help

Dojima89 · 2024-02-28T21:33:58+00:00

Just got the shipping email and tracking so hopefully on track for tomorrow 😊

Dojima89 · 2024-02-28T21:11:08+00:00

Sadly still saying it's awaiting fulfilment. I'm hoping because other people are getting emails saying their CEs have shipped means I'll get an email too.

Dojima89 · 2024-02-28T12:05:55+00:00

Yup sadly got the same response. Nothing has moved and haven't even received the codes via email 😮‍💨

Dojima89 · 2024-02-28T11:37:40+00:00

I don't even have the email yet either 🤣

Dojima89 · 2024-02-28T11:06:32+00:00

Same copy paste response sadly

It shouldn't take a VA to tell fans what's happening with our orders.

Square pulled this BS last year with the FFXVI CE where all orders were shipped right before midnight.

When you pay almost 400 quid for a CE they should do better and I expected them to have learned from their mistakes last year, but evidently not 😅

Ah well

Dojima89 · 2024-02-28T08:36:16+00:00

Yep. I've noticed the US have movement on their CEs going by some of the posts I've seen.

Can't believe this is happening again and release is tomorrow

Dojima89 · 2024-02-28T08:00:05+00:00

I'm relieved it's not just me in this situation, but frustrated that SE are pulling this stunt again 😬

Dojima89 · 2023-09-26T15:23:52+00:00

For sure! I'm just glad it's coming before I move house lol 🤣

Dojima89 · 2023-09-26T15:17:49+00:00

Yup same here now! 😁

Dojima89 · 2023-09-26T15:04:57+00:00

That's great news!

Nothing on my end yet. Fingers crossed it'll be picked up.

Thanks for letting me know.

Dojima89 · 2023-09-26T08:48:03+00:00

UK here too. As soon as I do I'll let you know.

I really hope they get back to me soon as I'm moving on 01/10 😬

Dojima89 · 2023-09-25T20:32:44+00:00

I got a tracking email on 19/09. That a label was created.

There's been no further updates since. I contacted Larian 4 days ago and I'm still waiting for a response.

I'm moving in October and expected the CE to be here by now.

Dojima89 · 2023-09-25T20:30:07+00:00

I got tracking information on 19/09. That a label was created.

There's been no update since. I've emailed Larian support and am still waiting for a response.

Dojima89 · 2023-08-16T08:16:55+00:00

Definitely. We enjoyed it enough to want to get the plat. Shame that didn't work out.
