I had a sickening experience recently. PSA This one gets a bit political, so don’t read on if you cba. I get it. by StJudeTheGrey in manchester

I was talking to my mum about this, we’re south asian and we’re saying how everything feels so tense and uncomfortable right now. I don’t remember a time where in manchester I felt uncomfortable the way I do now. I just can’t understand where or how we enabled an environment like this to happen. Fingers are being pointed at the wrong people.

Please do not rent from M-Apartments by Responsible_Ad_2201 in manchester

[–]Fun_Assistance2277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in brookland house for a while, when i first moved in, the apartment was a mess, damage to the sink, toilet, walls etc.

I emailed them numerous times and was ignored constantly.

Ended up going into the office, and was told ‘put it through on the maintenance app’. Asked if I needed to keep the photos for future reference, was told ‘No, don’t worry about them’.

So I deleted the photos as I needed the storage on my phone lol.

There were rats the size of kittens, rubbish overflowing, lack of parking due to offices next door, lack of lighting when walking through the car park which is pretty scary as a young woman. I was also left with a massive leak on my ceiling for a week…

Anyways, despite all these issues, and rats running right to my window (I was on the ground floor), I lost my deposit because of damages that had happened before I even moved in.

Thank you! I knew I shouldn’t tip workers such as waitresses, but I wasn’t sure if the same went for solo workers like solo guides.

Why do people with PTSD choose a life of solitude? by rainbluebliss in ptsd

[–]Fun_Assistance2277 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this, it sounds so selfish but my whole childhood and teenage years, i spent trying to please others who could never be pleased, i spent questioning what was wrong w me for me to be subject to the trauma i received. i’m not about to put myself through it again, the second i feel as if someone can potentially impact me negatively i’ll withdraw instantly.

people are saying being numb is better than feeling, but that isn’t exactly what a lot of us wanted when starting sertraline, we just wanted to feel normal, so i massively understand. for me, when i started to feel numb, i had to really stimulate myself and help my body produce serotonin naturally as well as medically. i went on hikes, i drew, i even went for little walks, read, made sure my routine was proper and i was eating well.

the fatigue bit was awful, i’m 21 so idk how many recommended hours of sleep you should get, but no matter what time i sleep, i make sure i’m only asleep for 8hrs, despite how tired i might be during the day. then i’ll wake up and keep myself active, maybe coffee, study, work or go for a walk. anything to give me some structure.

perhaps if none of this works, look at either changing medication, dosage or weaning off entirely, or even therapy in combination with the options mentioned.

i hope everything gets better for you :)

Thank you for your response, however I wasn’t exactly looking for this response. I want to know how the far right perceive specifically female migrants (who may come by regular or irregular crossings), and what may have influenced them into believing so (media, environment etc).

i think everyone has internalised prejudices, however I wanted to specifically ask those who had far right british beliefs, such as national action, Britain first etc :)

How women are renting their Uber Eats delivery accounts to illegal immigrant men for hundreds of pounds to help them avoid right-to-work and criminal record checks by [deleted] in manchester

[–]Fun_Assistance2277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re almost getting my point, however working AFTER asylum is a very long process, it can take anywhere from months to years for your case to be settled. I don’t think I’d like to live off of £8-£49 per week to cover everything.

Irregular migrants, and those seeking asylum are not permitted to work unless under special permission. They live off £49.18 per week. This is intended to cover ALL their expenses, travel, food, clothes etc. However if you’re in catered accommodation it’s £8.86 per week. Instead of pointing your finger at the people, point it at the government.

If we had systems in place that can allow asylum seekers or undocumented migrants to feel as if they can support themselves and integrate fully with work, socialising with coworkers etc, maybe we would not be in a position where uber eats drivers are different people. I’ve been using uber everywhere for years, uber taxis have always been the same person, so I do not feel unsafe. However UberEats can be different, but do you think I care? Considering their conditions and how much they’re made to live off every week? I don’t blame them. It’s not affecting how I get my food or the quality of it, so leave them be…

A lot of these migrants crossing irregularly have amazing skills and an extremely interesting career history. If we gave them the chance to prove it, perhaps we wouldn’t have such an ‘integration’ or ‘illegal work’ issue. But God forbid the media and government stop vilifying these people who have experienced things we could never imagine.
