Being on benefit sucks.

I hardly have money to leave the house, never mind actually conduct some kind of social life.

And it is a vicious cycle - the less time I spend with people, the more depressed I feel, and the harder it becomes to do productive things like look for work.

How the hell does anyone deal with this without going insane?

Desperately needed: social contact and support.

Thanks for listening, you all.

Edit - I'm slowly making improvements on the money side. Bit by bit! And I'm going to throw myself into the Looking For Work this evening, yes I am.
