Living with multiple illnesses

Hi I'm 61 I have multiple lung problems gold COPD, emphysema, bronchitis, & hiatal hernia in my upper chest, which makes breathing harder, I also am suffering from high bloods DMT2, now high blood pressure, anxiety, depression and many more. Cellulitis won't heal because my bloods are high.

Struggling to find support

I have nobody to help care for me, friends and family don't want to know. In fact I don't have anyone coming to see me and everyone expects me to do everything for them, still, only call if it's for something off me, or do things for them, stress at, to basically use me, or I'm a last resort, they ignore what I think or feel, they make sure nobody supports me, council won't let me have a bungalow, I'm living in a 1 bed flat with my things in boxes, cause I am not safe living here but despite all my problems I cope with it.

I can't change COPD

The good & bad days I carry on living cause I want to live for me. I can't change my illnesses but I can live each day doing the things I want to do. I love coastal towns, going away, seeing places, in UK I feel safer when I'm not here but I'm gonna live as long as I can on the benefits that they let me have.

Living with my current benefits

I'm only getting IR ESA in a support group, standard pip & standard mobility which lets me pay for a taxi once a week to go to the food store. I do not go out if it's not in a taxi as I don't feel safe due to gangs. No one in the council or citizens advice help me I'm discriminated against but I can't prove I am, so I won't lower myself anymore. I have some pride, I was turned away from community centers because they don't have people like me? No idea but, hey I don't care, I will carry on being me ignoring all of them.

Relying on myself

I am self-caring I only rely on NHS & my GP they are all that matters now I love life & I'm positive and I will live day by day. I now live for me , I won't cry or worry bout all the stress, but life's hard and I am a survivor to end. Wow, I got that off my chest & I feel better. Thank you for reading this but everything is what my life is like.
