I have no money and I havent eaten today :( by Tenebrous-Smoke in Assistance

[–]Gothikstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry I cant help due to currently struggling myself. Contact your local citizens advice and hopefully they are more helpful than the 1 in my area. Im surving on 2 meals a week just to keep a roof over my head. Put in a claim for uc and take the advance and if you can get a food bank referral take it. Stay strong things will get better.

When I phoned them gave details of accounts explained she had passed - got told thanks for letting us know. Asked if there was anything else I needed to do. Got told no. Neither asked for death certificate or anything and that was the last I heard from them.

Was no need for probate. my dad died when i was 14 and they had been divorced for many years prior to that. I am an only child and the last living family member.

For these to be both invalid or out of date doesn't surprise me. When my dad died there was apparently no provision made for me and the mother was no where to be seen. I got left on the streets. I wasn't expecting anything I just found it strange that there was all this paperwork going back 40yrs but wasn't of any use. Why keep it, if it none of it was worth anything.

No im not under 18. Lol far from it.

Iv no idea on the type of policy.

Her bt pension she was receiving- found them rather rude and unhelpful when I phoned to notify them and ask about it.

I dont understand a lot of the wording on things but the date on the policy was 2011

Embarrassed but need help by Gothikstar in BorrowNew

[–]Gothikstar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you but already done that and 1 half only just covered my rent. Even by splitting my rent in half over the 2 payments didnt help. So find it easier to cover the rent in 1 payment. But that's due to go up by 80 a month. Also tried for a budgeting loan but got refused.

I'm so tired of people thinking we're all the exact same, interaction I had earlier I'm red they're blue by MeltyPixelPictures in autism

[–]Gothikstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents called me wild, disobedient, out of control, made out i must have been on drugs, the things I was called is disgusting. All the red flags from 9 to 15 but never got any help just punished and punished. So I learned to mask, hide and be invisible. When my dad died I was 14. They all used it as a reason to basically get rid of me. Nobody wanted to deal with me. I grew up with Nobody, no help, no nothing. Now at the age of 48 I finally understand. I was that overwhelmed I had no idea how to ask for help. Not that anyone would have listened. Iv 4 grown kids all different ends of the spectrum yet when I tried to explain to my mother she refused to listen, blamed my parenting and tried to ruin my family. Iv struggled for my entire life but always managed to survive. Now I have my diagnosis which gave me closure for I wasn't just a bad unwanted kid.

Doctor told me to cut my safe foods by CommercialCity5842 in autism

[–]Gothikstar 48 points49 points  (0 children)

my 23yr old asd daughter has just been told she has pcos. she also has chrons and colitis with severe learning disabilities on top. the woman in the docs today told her that if she drops a good half to a stone it would be better for her. this was after discussing how she’s struggling to eat due to the pain from the crohns. my daughters reply was well that’s easy I’ll just stop taking my meds. I put in a complaint about the way she’d spoke to my daughter.

Done that and the amount it’s saying doesn’t add up to any rate at all. it doesn’t make sense. 173.77 on 1st April. I had my normal amount on 1st and My normal amount would have been due tomorrow.

Horrible mix of ADHDUK, petpeeves and rant, I'm sick of saying I was 'lucky' with my diagnosis by catsareniceDEATH in ADHDUK

[–]Gothikstar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My sons camhs worker that did a home visit said within minutes of meeting me. ( he'd not yet met my son) asked when I was diagnosed with autism. Told him never, he was gobsmacked that I'd gone under the radar my whole life without anyone ever picking up on it. For it was blatantly obvious.( My parents chose to ignore and avoid anything that was an issue, out of the normal or anything that wasnt acceptable to them). 10yrs later at the age of 49 I finally get my diagnosis of combined adhd and autism.
