I had these years ago when I was trying to learn Swedish, it was more helpful than other courses: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Foundation-Hindi-Michel-Thomas-Method/dp/B0GK9R34C8

Studies have shown that eating raw fruit and veg improves mental health and reduces stress levels: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00487/full

Does it have to be job or apprenticeship? What about a college course? Good way to get out and meet people too. Or if that’s not an option, volunteer somewhere for a while, it will improve your mental health, gain work experience and maybe lead to a paid job later.

I imagine Hitler in hell like he was in Little Nicky, wearing a French maid’s outfit, having pineapples shoved up his bum for eternity.

If it’s a fairly quick and painless death, I welcome it. Life is just too shit.

This reminds me of a thread on reddit where they were saying that people on disability benefits should be given just enough for basic shelter, and the most basic food to keep them alive. No entertainment, no extras. I was thinking, I’m so disabled I’m virtually housebound. Am I meant to sit here alone, staring at the empty wall, bored out of my mind, all day every day until I die? Why even keep us alive then?

A rented apartment that’s so small the living room and bedroom are the same small room, with a tiny bathroom and kitchen.

I live in the UK and I can’t imagine anyone here being able to afford therapy for long. The NHS only gives you a few months, if that.

I live in a country with healthcare and if you want therapy it’s 5 years on the waiting list to get 12 sessions of shit, useless therapy. You’d have to pay for real proper therapy (if there is such a thing) and hardly anyone can afford that.

I feel the same way. And the only help on offer from the authorities is: “Be on the waiting list for 5 years for a 3 month course of shitty therapy that involves drawing pictures and meditating. What do you mean it didn’t work? How are you not cured???”

I really think life has been made miserable by design.

Thank you. The entire NHS is like this. I have to see the endocrinologist, neurologist, stroke clinic, GP and others, and it’s always endless difficulty and bureaucracy, struggling to get an appointment, being on waiting lists for years, I’m finally on the urology waiting list after begging to see a urologist for about a decade. This whole time I’ve had endless bladder problems and all the doctor wants to do is prescribe more and more drugs (all with terrible side effects) without even trying to find out what the problem actually is. And if I’d been given a proper programme of rehabilitation after my stroke I might not be disabled now. It also took them nearly 4 years to diagnose my cancer because they refused to do any tests, saying I was “too young for it to be anything serious.” Not to mention having to beg for money to pay for bandages and things after my foot surgery. The NHS has ruined my life.

Thank you.

It’s just pure snobbery to insist everyone must have a top notch job and a degree. So many kids who aren’t cut out for it get pushed and bullied into going to university by their parents and teachers, only to end up tens of thousands in debt with a useless bit of paper at the end of it. It’s child grooming.

It’s hard when most people are using all the effort they have just to survive from one day to the next. Which is probably why they make life so hard in the first place.

Not exactly by a Marxist, since Marxism didn’t exist yet, but I like this poem:

They hang the man and flog the woman

Who steal the goose from off the common

But let the greater villain loose

Who steals the common from the goose.

Yes, that’s fine, thank you. 🫂

The majority of people here have been nice, but there have been several who’ve teased me over mutual aid, spending weeks constantly promising to send help but then never coming through until I had to accept they were just teasing me. Those instances have been really stressful and disheartening. One actually got temporarily banned for doing it but then they let him back and he started doing it again. I had another person here recommend that I should commit suicide and give me tips on how to do it and say it doesn’t matter if I end up homeless. His comments eventually got removed. I’m just resigned to the fact that society absolutely hates and despises the disabled, even in a community like this.
