OK - a personal post after some abuse suffered last night and a massive FFFFFFF UUUUUUU to a few who need to learn a lesson or three. Asked what I do for a living explained am an unpaid carer for my partner..... at which point a certain tweeter decided that I was a liar I met my partner Jo in 2011 - she was working full time as a carer visiting people's homes - I was by then a manager in a charity shop New Year 2012 Jo went in to a catatonic state....... we had been out for New Year's Eve ...... there had been some signs 'zoning out' previously but nothing prolonged. She had zero speech for 3 days and a weakness in her left side - originally they thought a stroke. As time went on non epileptic seizures started and she could be unconscious 45mins or more, the left sided weakness increased. She could no longer work or drive - literally from overnight NYE 2012 but we managed it with me working. Her MH took a toll too. Eventually they diagnosed functional neurological disorder with non epileptic seizures - she also has a separate bowel condition. End of 2017 I was unwell at work and collapsed - they found a leaky heart valve..... likely had it from birth Long story short work ended my contract due to ill health 2 weeks before the hospital gave me the all clear. Jo's condition had deteriorated and it was obvious at that time that it was impossible to leave her for me to work anyway. Then the pandemic came...... Jo's condition worsened and other symptoms appeared which were eventually diagnosed as dystonia or more likely several forms of dystonia - which we also had to deal with on op of everything else and do until this day The massive FFFFFFF UUUUU to some from last night is two fold. - there are 4 million unpaid carers out there and you disrespect every single one by some of the comments such as 'I wouldn't mind that gig' - one thing is for certain with that attitude you wouldn't last 5 mins. - anyone is literally seconds from being in this position, it takes one illness, on accident - so mock no-one - it could warily be you next. Also to those who say - there is respite care / help from the NHS.......... to which I reply - go do some research - see how little support is out there Same response to those who scream - you're not unpaid you get benefits....... You lose 2 incomes, go on UC and see how you do - also with a mortgage so no help with housing costs....... Carer's allowance would be roughly £81 a week.... around £197 a month on UC but if you claim UC carers allowance is deducted from it Not looking for sympathy with this just wanted to post a massive FU to those who decided to attack and say a massive thankyou to the mates here who stepped in to support me too I wasn't in fighting mood last night - today been up since 3.30am as Jo poorly and can take all comers 🤣 #ToriesAreOut #StarmerIsPM61 #farrightfails #TopTierKeir
