I currently care for my friend, who suffers with many mental health issues and physical health issues.
It has been getting increasingly difficult to balance work and caring for her. I only work 16h a week to have enough time to care for her, but I fear I may have to quit work to properly care for her .
I struggle with my own mental health at times but mostly struggle with motivation to go to work, and while at work am constantly worried about my friend as she has been taken off her medication for depression several times, through miss communication between doctors and the pharmacy and because we missed a review appointment for her medication.
We have been looking at getting into council housing and we both receive some UC support, she is currently trying to again apply for pip as last time they rejected her application but I fear we will not have enough money to live comfortably if I have to quit working.
