Question:
How do I get out of the benefit hole?
I have been on the sick for 5 and a half years due to a nervous breakdown at 18. I am now deemed fit for work and have started claiming jsa but its been that long since i had a job i feel overwhelmed that i'v got better, also i dont know anyone that would employ an ex-crazy person. I have to be honest and i dont seem to get anywhere
Answers:
in the UK they are not allowed to discriminate against you for having a mental health problem. If its totally over whelming to you then you should see your doctor and get him to put a sick note in for you so that you can do something like volunteer work at first, just till you get back into the swing of things. I am going on a training course soon to help me back to work. you can also go to collage and do something you like to do. maybe help others with mental health problems if that's your kind of thing. good luck don't give up many people will employ you don't worry.
