Sending you hopeful vibes.


Thanks, and I'll send some back. My tax bill isn't an overpayment thing, it's where I expected to earn a similar amount this year as I have been for the last couple and it just hasn't happened. Hence I need to sell my car :(


I don't even get where HMRC has overpaid us. They hardly paid us anything and stopped paying us about 5 years ago. How on earth do we owe them anything? It's a scam. We tried to phone but the lines were engaged permanently of course.

I'm sorry about your car, what will you do for transport? Is public transport an option?


Is it working tax credits you've been overpaid? They did that to me too a while back but they never asked me to repay it, they just stopped giving me any more until the overpayment was paid off.

I'd look into it though if I were you. I've had some phishing scams in the last few months purporting to be from HMRC. Are you sure it's for real?

My partner has a car but she hasn't been able to drive for months now because she's dizzy all the time. So I'll use that, I'm driving her everywhere anyway. It's a pretty crappy car but beggars can't be choosers. No public transport out here!

I still can't get over the price of cheese me. In the last 12 months my cheese bill has doubled and Rishi Sunak has the f*****g audacity to celebrate inflation falling to 4.6%. it's still f*****g rising c**t and it's way more expensive than it ought to be.

Gone are the days when a bit of Cheddar on a crust of bread was a thing you had when you was struggling to afford a proper meal. It's more of a f*****g luxury these day.

Wallace and Grommit first came out in 1989. I do believe you are younger than me, so you would have been a teenager back then. It’s meant for all ages. Plus, it’s British, I’m surprised to know that you don’t really know about it.

Not really a rant. Just despair. I am just a burden to my family, I earn hardly anything, I have weird health problems, I don't get on with people or make useful connections. We are nearly out of money. How are we going to afford to move house next year?

My family would be better off without me. I will try and hang on til January when we put our house on the market, see if that brings any hope of a better life. I don't know what I'll do if we can't move away from here. Probably just walk off into the countryside and disappear.

I understand.

The A.I. .

Practical solutions.

1) In that timeframe perhaps you will be able to make some money in sales.

2) What can you do?

Because I am asked what job I will go for in the next few years.

I will answer for the next few months perhaps.

Change everything quickly.
3) Concentrate and make a list of immediately feasible jobs that cannot change quickly.

4) The list is fundamental for us autistics.

In the meantime, find a job, even a simple one that gives you access to money, even if you don't like it at all.

5) In the meantime he finds a specialization in a healthcare subject for people.

The answer is that you will have to study and get a quick qualification.

In the meantime work: I imagine an extreme debt situation and in any case you were able to work before but you will no longer be able to work in that role.

5)
Try to list job preparation courses that will give you a qualification in 6 months.

And you can find outlets for welfare.

It depends on which city you live in.

Not everything is the same and simple.

*Perhaps look for a suitable place for a period if you are selling your house.
Repaint it because the buyer wants to see cleanliness, a lived-in house, but in perfect order.

Then eliminate everything out of context and order.

I understand your point about being a burden on the family.

React, you're not, you're just messed up.

In the meantime, look for additional jobs, even dog sitters, or apparently unprofitable things.

The answer is also: take a course in therapeutic massage, make-up and beauty for women, nails...

You won't like it, I can tell.

But they do: I know from some friends.

The rest includes 3-year specializations in physiotherapy...psychology...

but you act on the now and on the initial solution.

The others will be outlined with more time.

*Important, I perceive you as depressed from how you write, when an autistic person is depressed they underestimate themselves.

And he doesn't do what he could.

It's called stasis.

You have to think step by step that you will definitely make it.

Only: first aim for immediate things, then increasingly more qualified.

You will only be a burden if you don't react.

And you are intelligent, sociable, and feisty.

Focus on your determination: nothing can stop you.

You have to believe it: move somewhere if that reality is unsuitable for what you decide to do.

(sorry advice, you are combative and you can do it, but it takes time and reacting and you are not to blame)
