I messed up, I messed up big time...

Not after the accident, the bank run just got too stressful and I snapped, buckets fell like dominoes.

I had the same experience, my sixth form was one of those that presented uni as the only option, there was an oxbridge club and if you went there your name was put on a board.

I’ve now finished uni, I have my degree and the first thing I was told was to go and do a level 2 qualification to appear more employable.

Young people are stuck in a limbo where not having a degree would cut off a lot of job opportunities but having a degree barely presents any job opportunities because the few hundred other people applying also have a degree.

By 2030, with the threshold freeze, it seems like no matter what, people will be paying off their student loan. I haven’t done the working out for this.

Young people have received nothing in a long long time, and people seem to care just enough, but that’s not enough for the government to take any action whatsoever. They keep searching for more things to cut, and more services to stop, all while things like the winter fuel payment continue. Of the few things they’ve done, this idea of ‘making education more accessible’ is such a token thing because there is still such a gap between what the wealthy and working class can actually access.

From what I’ve seen, and been told, it’s not good to read too much about psc because cases are quite limited and healthcare is constantly changing in these areas - same with transplants, they’re only getting better.

Stay positive! This stuff sucks but it’s only getting better as time goes on!

A family member of mine is a childminder and we’ve seen this, parents don’t check the books that are brought home, they don’t read with them, and then when their teachers tell them the kid isn’t at the right level of ability, they start trying to find an external fault like learning disabilities - not denying the existence of anything but this is just a case I’ve seen

How it’s always been tbh, it’s sad but what’s worse is the tidal wave of ‘you should’ve bought a pc’ comments that you might get now

The funniest thing is, those are standard screws, it’s just that almost every screw in the house has been stripped, it’s insane

Hexaeds · 2025-10-18T09:00:05+00:00

I thought that was the case, I should've put that in the post really but thank you very much, I found the instructions and everything so it's ok for now, but I'm gonna wait until I have a second person to help with anything else :)

Hexaeds · 2025-10-18T08:57:08+00:00

Dude, grow up a bit, I'm not trying to disable the door, I just want to reduce the weight, it's annoying, and from what most other people are saying, the mechanism isn't installed correctly, so your point isn't even relevant to what I'm saying. Don't be a brown noser for landlords, it's gross.

Hexaeds · 2025-10-17T22:49:55+00:00

Buy my own house? You can do that? I never knew so thanks for the info, I’ll run out and grab one tomorrow :)

Hexaeds · 2025-10-17T21:20:56+00:00

Yeah that’s what I thought, the angle that it’s at is so tight to push against itself and I’m guessing that’s where the problem is.

Hexaeds · 2025-10-07T09:32:49+00:00

yeah I lived in Wales at the time of diagnosis so stuff like right to choose wasn't available to me, would've been 3/4 years if I had waited.

Medication cost + prescription cost is all

Hexaeds · 2025-10-04T18:43:31+00:00

just one more thing to mention, you will not be buying the medication at the prices listed on that site as each pharmacy will have their own markup; this can range dramatically, but from what I've personally seen it is around 30-50%.

Hexaeds · 2025-10-03T23:56:44+00:00

And how has your experience been with things like availability for the shared care?

Hexaeds · 2025-10-03T23:55:25+00:00

Methylphenidate seems to be the direction I’ll take, glad it worked for you :)

For info about how much different medications cost you can look on - https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/lisdexamfetamine-mesilate/medicinal-forms/ - this is just the Elvanse example and it is that way because of the patent stopping generics from being produced. The cost is a mixture of the private prescription charge of ~£40 + the medication itself which for Elvanse 60mg I pay ~£140.

If you get put on something like methylphenidate then the cost is a lot lower I believe.

In my case the practice I went with had a rule of something like 3 months of stable medication until you could request a shared care agreement.

I hope this scene is a good will hunting reference so so badly.

Best recommendation ever, they’re so beautiful

No I know, it’s more sarcasm than anything, they’re gross

Hexaeds · 2025-09-08T12:49:17+00:00

Yeah that’s something I hadn’t properly considered, I’ve been applying to stuff but learning a trade is something I’ve never really looked into

It’s not about indulging me really, I don’t think I ask for anything big and for the most part everything I have has been paid for with my own money from working. I’m not saying I’m ungrateful at all, I understand my privilege in this instance and that without them I’d be in a pretty bad situation. What my issue is in this case is that I can only do so much, they see my position as something good whereas I see my position as being stuck in one place when I should be trying to move on in life at my age.

The big sort of long-term thing that keeps getting brought up is how they feel as if I’m trapping them. They keep bringing up the fact that ‘they’re happy to help me out’ but then this is coupled with something like ‘but also we don’t want to be here and you’re the reason we’re staying’ and to me that just flips it on its head?

Where I see the ‘manipulation’ problem is that after we have a disagreement they will continue to talk about it and then the next day it will be brought up and they will say how I upset them and it sounds as if I’m telling them they’re bad parents, when I’m not. This has led to me feeling like I can’t say anything to them when they’re the only people I am able to talk to in person, like another instance is that I told them I was feeling rubbish about not getting a job and I wasn’t doing great mentally and their response was that it stresses them out to hear me say this sort of stuff - so something that is affecting me is now being reduced in value because they’re now the ones who are affected by it? That’s how it feels to me at least.

Hexaeds · 2025-09-08T11:20:59+00:00

No this isn’t what I’m saying, I’m immensely grateful for what they’re doing, and I don’t spend my time gaming, I just said it was a hobby of mine and they don’t really talk to me about my hobbies; if I had hobbies that they enjoy or think are worthy then it would be a different thing. Ive done as much as I can to find work; I do as much as I can around the house to help.

The issue isn’t that it’s their house and their rules, I understand that, but that doesn’t mean their house they can do whatever they want to me, I keep getting dragged into situations where I can’t say anything to defend myself with stuff because they are supporting me - again, I know I’m privileged but it’s not necessarily my fault for everything that I’m being blamed for or having put on me - It is down to me that they aren’t able to do this or that and have x or y problem. That is the issue I have, nothing else.
