Trauma, and generational trauma in a lot of these cases, is at the root of so many problems. This country needs a huge investment in free, easy access, mental health care. Without support and compassion millions of people like this are just doomed to fail. This is really heart breaking.

Totally agree, I lost my job by going into a coma, had to move back in with my mum. I got very depressed loosing my independence. She then got cancer and passed away. I was lost having no where to go, but I was lucky and found a service called Richmond Fellowship that took me on and put me in supportive housing, with support workers, looking out for me day to day, getting me ready for living on my own again, getting my confidence back up. But so many people fall through the cracks, never get the right help to change, struggle and never change their mindset to make any positive change. Some people at some point in their live need support and guidance as their mindset is in the wrong place, leaving them struggling is just going to keep them down.

its almost as if the government has intentionally done it

Me and my other half struggled. I was one of these people, i always worked, always paid my way, but my mum and dad were very wealthy and would always bail me out... even when i said not to. The down side too that was they wanted too know EVERY aspect of my life, from my money, account balance, where i went, what i did. My dad was lovely but very controlling... even as an adult. I lived in Portsmouth, met the guy i am with now... and we wanted too move to Brighton. My dad didn't like it, didn't like that i was with someone he didn't like.... tried to constantly split us up as did my mum. Telling lies, spreading rumours about him. We moved to Brighton and my dad said if you go, i wash my hands of you. We went and my god it was tough. We were sleeping on floors of bedsits that were not being used, finally got a job, we both paid all we had on the ridiculous rent in Brighton at the time (2008), we lived on pasta, gravy and tinned peas for months and were totally skint. But.... slowly and surly we saved money, got better jobs, worked our way up and survived. Now, we are both 42, my other half 43 in September, we live up in Dingwall, in Scotland. I have my own nail business, my other half has his own painting business, we have a lovely home, 2 nutty cats, massive TV's, game consoles..... nice furniture, enjoy good food and take outs, living a good normal life. When we look at what we have now, compared to then! It is night and day and we actually chat about the tough times and laugh about it, the mess we were in. What is funny, everyone saying we wouldn't make it as a couple, here we are, still together while everyone else around us crumbled and split. Times can be tough! But i hate these people that have self pity on here! Complain about being skint, yet find money for fags, booze and drugs! That is a wimp cop out! You CAN CHANGE YOUR SITUATION. We were jobless, homeless and very close too giving up... but we did it! and we are nothing special but we just refused too let the system and life get us down. We could have given up! Said screw this and what money we did have, turn to drugs and drink, but what would be the point? You just wallow in self pity, get in more debt and continue to spiral into massive mental health issues and debt, then blaming everyone else and the system for your crappy situation. Always push forward too better yourself and your situation, quit the fags, drink and drugs and better your life, because nobody else will, and once you have made it, have a stable income, lovely home and possessions, it makes you feel so proud.

Death is guaranteed and is the only thing you no for definite will happen to you and everyone you love. I’ve lost more friends and family by the time I was 25 was crazy. But wait till you e suffered serious life changing trauma, I’ve been a drug addict most my life, two years clean now. I feel like giving up everyday because I can’t cope with my mental health disorders. I could go back on drugs but at what cost! Probably feeling just as I do now.

Priorities guys, they get their dole money and it's straight to the fish shop? Why not get some food and top up on your electricity. I'm assuming they have to top-up rather than pay monthly? Then they wonder why theres never any money. I know drugs are not easy to get off, but I don't see them even trying. What are their long term plans, it's literally a day-to-day existence.

That guy looks terrible.,I can understand where hopelessness sets in. Going out to steal. This is sad!
