I live in a run-down seaside town on the south coast of England. It’s far from being a city and doesn’t exactly have amazing services. Many parts aren’t even covered by public transport. There are hospital transport services but they cost money, and the community transport has medical criteria that I don’t meet (such as you must have dementia, ore require oxygen during the journey, things like that).

I made a post a while ago about how i tried to sign up to facebook but they now require a video selfie of your head from multiple angles and i don’t feel comfortable doing that. If i can’t get the help I need then I will just cancel more medical appointments. It’s a vicious circle where not getting the medical help I need makes my situation worse, and makes me less able to care for myself which then makes it harder to get further help, but there is nothing i can do. i don’t have family to help, I’m very ill and tired from my cancer treatment and I can barely walk. I’ve tried every source of help from the local council to the food bank and eventually this was the only place where people actually helped. All other sources of help have dried up The council no longer provide me a carer, the cancer charity macmillan no longer give grants and my local council doesn’t give hardship payments to people as young as me any more. People often act like there’s so much help out there and I am just not trying hard enough to find it, but there really isn’t much help out there at all. I’m up to my limit, I can’t keep struggling on, I will just give up and have to stop engaging with medical treatment.
