I want everything I can get out of him now. I'm going on sick today, I'm tired of working in pain, I will claim for loss of earnings. If I lose my job because of it I will claim for that too. We're super busy at work due to the new 15 plate registration just coming out and it takes a month for a criminal records check so they can't just get somebody else to cover me. They are going to be in the shit and customers wont get their new cars. I tried to do the best thing all round but I'm not getting screwed, it's me that's in pain here.
see a doctor, get a sick note certifying that you're having to take time off sick because of injuries sustained in the incident, the more detailed the better. That can go to court as evidence.
My dad was in a similar situation a couple years back. He still has back issues, he's been very limited in his work and I don't think he got what he deserved out of the douchebag who rear-ended him. Fight to get every dollar (pound, euro, whatever) you deserve. Trust me
I'm going to. At first I felt sorry for the guy and his wife, she's in hospital pretty hurt, I would have accepted first offer. But after trying to deny liability when I was almost killed has really pissed me off.
I can't believe how bad mental healthcare is in this country. Can't get any help at all, you get bounced from place to place, everybody treats you like either a nuisance or scum, it takes months just to get an appointment for anything, they lose practically everything in "the post" (including things that shouldn't be in the post to begin with), you constantly have to pester them because they'll happily forget about you if you don't, and when you do finally get an appointment with someone they just try to push you onto someone else (they've tried to send me to group therapy for alcoholics five times now, once even after I quit drinking) or give the most dismissive advice imaginable (keep a diary, go on walks, talk to people, make some friends lmfaooo). I'm honestly just considering giving up at this point, since they seem pretty happy with me living off of benefits and disability bux for the rest of my life, and since I'd be financially (and mentally) worse off if I did get a job.
mental health in the UK is a bit hit or miss too, when I went to the doctor with depression I got sent to a psychologist who got completely the wrong end of the stick and diagnosed me with social phobia. After about 3 weeks of not getting them to understand I started faking my forms to get discharged. The guy couldn't understand that my lack of socialisation was a symptom, not the problem.
Just be glad that they didn't diagnose you with depression. Their solution to depression is exactly the same as every other mental illness. "Go out more", "talk to people", "change your routine", and "take our shitty drugs that'll fry your brain and make you too lethargic to complain to us".
I wouldn't have taken meds even if I'd been prescribed them, I'm well aware of what 'happy pills' do to people.
Just saw this in my local newspaper. It appears to be the same everywhere. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Mum-Louise-Rosenquest-waiting-155-days-mental/story-26177274-detail/story.html
At least it explains why you top the list as 'most time online': 288d 6h 19m, which the next in line isn't anywhere close to that. Depression is not something easily noticeable, even trained eyes could be misled. Even we might not realize we or someone close to us are suffering from it. Most people tend to associate depression as someone who looked stressed, gloomy, short-tempered, suicidal, anti-social, etc.. Fact is, you'd be surprised to know how many who committed suicide look on the outside as fine, happy person and surrounded by friends and family, yet no one realized they were suffering on the inside. The problem lies with them unable to cope with certain problem, with no one to talk to, willing to understand, or help cope with it, while they are unable to open up or explain their problem or identify what their problem is.
Not really, Seph didn't make it into the top 10 because he's seldom around. You're around nearly all day because I am too. I'm at 5th going to 4th. If I had joined around the time you did, I probably would have reached as much.
I'm sick of idiots who hate CoD for having too many games, then sucking Final Fantasy's dick for the same reason.
at least the final fantasy games are different each time (excluding a couple of sequels). CoD hasn't been good since it left the WW2 theme.
"Cod" ? Salted codfish or those crappy 'games' most often played by Mt. Dew-guzzling morons with a bad case of 'angry young man syndrome'? Ughhh..thinly-veiled training aides for the US military, so far as I'm concerned.
CoD is an abbreviation for Call of Duty often used on gaming forums. And yes, they're poor/mediocre games now (didn't used to be, first 3 were good, the WW2 themed ones).
