Anxiety and Depression part 3

About the cuts.

No one should be forced into situations that they can’t manage without the right support.
There again vulnerable people should have as much rights as other people.
Vulnerable people having to ask other people for support a lot.
Vulnerable people hate been seen as a centre of attention. 
Vulnerable people don't like been seen as hard work and costing a lot of money for others.
Vulnerable people don't like feeling as if we are blamed for the problems we have, we don’t like being made to feel guilty for the problems we have.
Despite of the problems we have we should have the same rights as other people.
These cuts are making times go backwards instead of forwards.
These cuts are likely to affect areas of life like.
Social events
Health
Education
Employment
Housing
not enough work
too much work
paying bills,
marriage
relationships
children are/support in the home

Epilepsy, Anxiety and Depression worry and stress can affect.
Epilepsy.

This may not be epilepsy, if not what is it?
     It may well be Anxiety panic attacks.
Why come back after twenty years?
Why haven't felt well for the last mouth?
Headaches, shakes and the room moving round and round.
The tablets cure one thing and bring another thing on.
I feel shaky and tired.
I am not looking forward to a brain scan, flashing lights and electric stick glue wires in my hair.
It's like a big storm inside my head.
It causes your nerves to be bad mainly when you have waiting to see if you pass or fail. 2001 onwards.

About Epilepsy.

The risk of post-traumatic seizures increases with severity of trauma (image at right) and is particularly elevated with certain types of brain trauma such as cerebral contusions or hematomas.[22] As many as 50% of people with penetrating head injuries will develop seizures.[20] People with early seizures, those occurring within a week of injury, have an increased risk of post-traumatic epilepsy (recurrent seizures occurring more than a week after the initial trauma).[23] Generally, medical professionals use anticonvulsant medications to treat seizures in TBI patients within the first week of injury only [24] and after that only if the seizures persist.

Emotional and behavioural problems [edit]
TBI may cause emotional or behavioural problems and changes in personality.[15] Emotional symptoms that can follow TBI include emotional instability, depression, anxiety, hypomaniamania, apathy, irritability, and anger.[9] TBI appears to predispose a person to psychiatric disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder, alcohol or substance abuse or substance dependencedysthymia,clinical depressionbipolar disorderphobiaspanic disorder, and schizophrenia.[16] About one quarter of people with TBI suffer from clinical depression, and about 9% suffer mania.[17] The prevalence of all psychiatric illnesses is 49% in moderate to severe TBI and 34% in mild TBI within a year of injury, compared with 18% of controls.[18] People with TBI continue to be at greater risk for psychiatric problems than others even years after an injury.[18] Problems that may persist for up to two years after the injury include irritability, suicidal, insomnia, and loss of the ability to experience pleasure from previously enjoyable experiences.[17]
Behavioural symptoms that can follow TBI include disinhibition, inability to control anger, impulsiveness, and lack of initiative, inappropriate sexual activity, and changes in personality.[9] Different
behavioural problems are characteristic of the location of injury; for instance, frontal injuries often result in disinhibition and inappropriate or childish behaviour, and temporal lobe injuries often cause irritability and aggression.[19]

UNDERSTANDING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION.

Anxiety and depression can be linked to learning disabilities.
Most of us feel frightened our muscles can tense up whether we have a reason to do so or not.
Most of us can think we fail in everything but we don’t.
We can feel nervous for example when are about to take an exam or even have an interview for a job.
Most of us find it hard to believe in ourselves and many of us find it hard to we will get the support we need in whatever we need it for.
 
Some of us find it hard to believe that employers will take us on many of us believe that employers will sack us.
 
Anxiety and depression has its good days and bad.
When things get really bad many of us feel as if life is not worth living, therefore it can cause us to have thoughts of taking our own lives.
 
This may not make sense to people who don’t have Mental Health problems but we shouldn't be made to feel ashamed and guilty, mainly those of us who try to help ourselves.
Many of us may appear alright to you if you see smiles on our faces but what we feel inside can be very different.
This can be because we don’t want to be hard work to anyone and that we want to help ourselves.
Hiding the sadness and anger can be the easiest way we can manage our health problems.
Yes I know that there are some that can’t be bothered to help themselves.
 There are different forms of Anxiety and depression which affects different people in different ways from minor to major.
Some people mainly when they have got other health problems and disabilities a lot of medications can make them worse than what they are mainly when they are on too many.
A lot of side effect can bring on other health problems.
 
Another way some people with Mental Health problems manage their illnesses or and conditions is by expressing talents that many can have like poetry, short stories, drawings and paintings for example.
By managing their lives like that is better than committing crimes but not everyone manages that way.
They either find other ways or nothing at all. For most people, they may become a victim of crime, commit crimes or even both.
Some people are danger to themselves, to others or both.
 
If that happens either they are in fear of what people think of them or they just can’t be bothered to manage their health problem and get help.
Some people are even aware they have these problems but other people notice they are there.
Most of us don’t like crowds and queues, which give us a sheer of panic then we have to find a clear space to calm ourselves down.
Most of us will avoid packed places.
 
Some of us have fear of forgetting even if we getting everything together, then we are checking our bags halfway down the road for example.
It’s hard to know how we get through day after day.
 
Many of us get upset very easily over negative situations whether it’s for example a death of a people we know relationship break ups, failed an exam or turned down by a job.

It’s As hard as it is let's not let the government beat us but then that doesn't make the people who we have lost who took their own lives as losers and cowards  because were brave to have gone through what they did.
It's just some of us can take more than others.g the right full-time work for each person and right support.
Everyone's needs are different. 
 Most people like me find that careers, hobbies and interests helps them to manage their Anxiety and Depression.
It's a long battle to find and get to full-time work so you can get off benefits and get support for full-time work.
It’s finding the right full time work for each person and right support.
Everyone’s needs are different.

 Other people are suffering too with the Tory government but the  benefit cuts and changes that people with disabilities and health problems  are facing is a  huge curtain
The risks of suicidal thoughts are very high.
When people have had their benefits cut there's no money for counseling for those who really need it.
With the cuts the government has made, it's surprising there are some Counselling services open but for how long for, even for those who haven't lost their benefits.
 The cuts and changes to the benefits.

The stresses of the changes are too much for people with disabilities and health problems.
This can make people worry.
This can make people ill.
This can even cause death, if it gets far too much for people.
It is so wrong of the government to take money off people who need it most.
No one wishes anyone to be homeless but people with disabilities find it hard to look after ourselves more than other people.
Back in 2011, I had got a letter off the Benefit office about my Incapacity benefit changing to Employment and Support Allowance.

The Unexpected.

There was far too much information for me to read and understand.
DWP shouldn’t send out unexpected letters or give people unexpected call, the Jobcentre staff make people aware of the changes face to face in the Jobcentre.
Days, months, years and time need to be made out clearer to when the Jobcentre wants us in to tell us about the benefit changes and so they can make other places they may have to be aware. 

We could get a call or and letter any time to tell us our benefits have changed.
  It is hard to plan our support when we don't know when they are going to call.
 People are expected to work; they can't be expected to be sitting at home waiting for the Job Centre to call. 

When something totally unexpected it can bring on a person's Anxiety and Depression so it's best for a person to know in plenty of notice even though that's not always possible.

 There's huge certain now with these cuts everywhere else that  more and more vulnerable people are in risk of having their benefits cut as the government is cutting the council's money. The worry is

 How the cuts are affecting vulnerable people.

Communication seems to be a big problem between vulnerable people and other people as a whole.
Despite of the communication barrier vulnerable people still have the rights to communicate with others the best way they can.
It’s important for vulnerable people to mix with other people otherwise they will lose self-confidence.
Other people just need to make more effect to understand them.
