    Re: Starbug's housing thread

    hello evryone,

    Its been a while since i last posted on here. The last time you all help me make a succesful claim for my bank charges. Thanks again.

    well, since then things havent changed with regards to my mental health, debt and housing situation. I never started this thread which you started for me as i have been going through a very rough time recently.

    I will write again about my illness first.....

    for the past 6 years I have suffered from severe social anxiety, agoraphobia and depression.I find it very difficult to meet or speak to new people and i hardly ever leave my flat(only to see doctors and specialists). It started out of the blue ( before this i was a dancer, model,actor and i was debt free) and over the next year it got worse.I lost all my so called friends and the rest i was to ashamed to tell, including most of my family.i was left with 4 people who knew about my illness who were a great help. i was made homeless and it got to a point where i decided to end it all. I rember i was on a roof of a high rise block getting ready to jump when a gust of wind nearly blew me over. I dont know if it was realization that i could have died without my control or the shock, but right then i decided to get help and at least try to beat this.After many letters i started getting help. i was put in temp housing in mu own area and was seeing the mental health team. Over the next year things started looking up, i was managing to go out (only at night with the cover of darkness) and i had the support of the few friends and family i had left. i could see an end to this but then it all went wrong. I was put in a flat miles away from what little support I had and i was left to rot for 2 years without even the basic aminities. The flat is 15ft away from the train lines so i cant even have my windows open because of the noise. at night there are the big trains and also the workmen that are constantly drilling. i dont think i have had a proper nights sleep in 5 years.. dont get me wrong, i was grateful for the flat, its just it is so far away and has left me alone and isolated. i never once left the flat in this time. all my shopping was done online. my computer was all i had in the flat. This awful time ended when a family member came to see me from over sea's and couldnt beleive the state i was in, he complained to whoever and i started to get help again. but this wasnt the same as before, the doctors changed every month which meant new pills and I had to meet these people and explain all over again which got to much to bare. The pills made me ill and i was getting worse so I stopped seeing anyone. Now i am again left alone without any support and my illness has deteriorated.
    now im here again. Im back in contact with the mental health team because i was refered to them by a proffessor i saw who used to be one of the consultants for the mental health team. they must have taken him seriously as they are making a home visit next month. lets hope they actually help me this time because i dont think i will ever give them another chance if they fail me again.




    my question is about my housing situation.

    The flat im in is in a block of 4 which are all studio apartments except mine. It is supposed to be a 1 bed but you can see that they have just built a partition through a studio and it is so small. I can just about fit a small sofa and coffee table in the living room and the bedroom is too small for me to even get dressed in. because of my illness i never leave the flat and it litrally feels like the walls are closing in on me. I have no access to a garden so i cant even step out the back for fresh air and as i mentioned above, it is too noisy to open the windows.
    I have tried every possible way to get a transfer but to no avail. Im on a thing called locator but im c status on a scale of a to d, d being lowest. this means i'll never get an offer. this is the same for the other tranfer lists im on. I cannot even try to swap because no one wants to live in this place for obvious reasons.
    I saw a lawyer before but because i missed a few calls they closed my case.

    Have you any advice i can use to get me out of this prison and back to the area where my support network are.?

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    thank you.
