Stress is in everyones' lives one way or the other mainly this day and age with money problems today one way other or the other. Back in the day people used to say that stress is the killer of all but if or and when you have too much to worry about it's even worse. All this is bad enough but then you could be that person who finds it hard to really know whether you have anything to worry about at all for a start or have you worried more than you should have? This is what you call a form of Anxiety. Things seem to be a lot of worse than what they really but for all you know at the time you could be right. Many say don't make a mountain of a molehill. Very often it can be a sense a fear and panic.
My reasons for writing these handouts is because I am going to raise awareness the benefit cuts to the student nurses at The University Of Wolverhampton Walsall Campus.
A lot of people with disabilities and health problems are having their benefits cut which cause them a lot of stress because they either have not any more to live or far less than before their benefits were cut. Many of these people suffer from such health problems as Anxiety, depression and or Epilepsy,which makes every day coping with stresses like having had their money cut very hard to cope with. The stress is hard enough for people who are non disabled who may have lost their jobs because they can't affront to pay their mortgage, bills food and etc then end up losing their homes, that is stressful enough. How you cope with that situation is is more than likely completely different to people with disabilities and health problems.
Like I said in one of my handouts on this website it can take most people a year or two or even long for their appeal depending on their issue. Any amount of time is a long time if you don't have the money to feed yourself or and pay the bills for example.
Many people have been signed fit for work when they haven't been yet they can't work work while waiting for their appeal anyway. It's up to the appeal to decide whether not a person is fit for work or not.
Some people feel as if there's no end to the stress, many feel guilty about borrowing money off people and services even if it is to eat and keep a roof over their heads. Even though there are food bank they can't give a lot. They worry about if they win their appeal or not but even if they win it doesn't mean they will necessary affront to pay what they owe back. I'm not saying everyone but all this worry causes a lot of people to have suicidal thoughts then even take their own lives. I know there are many other stresses people go through this is just an example of one.
Vulnerable people such as the elderly, people with disabilities and health problems are more so so in danger than other people because they need more support to get by than other people. Stress can be too much on the health problems that these people have already. With many services having been cut back vulnerable people haven't been getting as much help as what they should get.
The purpose of this handout is that being a vulnerable person as it is is stress on it's own without adding more on top but we all have to live through everyday life just like everyone else. Vulnerable people just need that little bit support than other people to do so. When I think of the people who didn't live through the benefit cuts, I know I can't say for sure but it seems to me that they didn't get as much support as what they should have got. When your benefits are cut you don't get support with your Anxiety and depression because you don't have any benefits or other money to pay for counselling, which is when the stress get's too much for people. Don't get me wrong there are stresses people can cope with but there's only so much a person can take.
I am setting up this awareness of benefit cuts to prepare health profession to know what they could face. Society tend to think that people with disabilities and health problems have got someone supporting them 24 hours a day, this is not the case and this isn't what people with disabilities and health problems don't want but they don't get enough support either. People who do have families don't have 24 hours a day to spare because they have other lives and that can be the same with other people in their live too. Even people who still have their benefits don't have enough money to pay a carer and or support worker, which many have to cope without but then do need it. I know that some need more support than others but there may well be others that need more support than they make out.
