Lap Of The Gods
I forgot to mention that as well as having to start a new Launchpad application my Salvation Army support person is changing. 4th person in a year.

Dealing With Fear Of Gaslighting
I am so terrified of not being understood, and being blamed, when it comes to circumstances holding me back.

Anyway there were five viewings in total and I was … Continue reading Flat Viewing

Could It Be Progress?
Oh my god, Sarah from Salvation Army just came round saying she had good news. I'd been waiting too expectantly on the letter from the court (to decide my 1-bed housing fate) which hadn't arrived, so I was intrigued. She'd spoken to another person at the council who has decided that since my birthday is … Continue reading Could It Be Progress?
