Im new too. Been on DSP since 1997. Before that Auststudy doing tafe courses. Job search allowence, sickness benifit had a sort of breakdown where i stopped looking after myself and got phsicly sick landed up in non mental hospital 3 times over 1 month. Finaly after being misdiganosed as being anxioty symptons got diagnosed with benign essential tremor. Fuc you, stupid useless doctors. Did work exp building computers while under the so called support of one of them useless Disability emplyyment network members and managed to destroy a $300 motherboard due to my tremor. Have had 2 jobs with part pension being paid. Getting upto 10 years since last job. I volunteer my time (2 hours a week) in the mental health area to ring people up to remind them and ask if they want to goto groups. Some ppl will probably say if ya can do that then why ya on dsp get a job ya bludger. Ive tried to get jobs, volunteered and went to them so called job network people only to be told i havent got a hope in hell of getting a job. I could swear im jinxed. I don't drink i dont smoke and i don't take illicet drugs. Oh and im prtty shitty at spelling. Other diagnoses is Major depresive disorder with anxioty thrown in for good measure. One ex gp called it nervous depression. I call it loservitus. Dont get me started on sideefects of the meds and how i get tolerent to them quickly. Im fooked with this govt. Stess makes my tremor worse. Oh well. Who cares anyway.

Welcome to the board pactrpto.
Sounds like you've been kicked around the system for a while. You've seen the board now, most of our members are up against it as well and we try to talk our problems through.
Venting your anger is ok but remember that we deal with politicians and welfare groups on a regular basis and if we come across as a lot of abusive foul mouthed idiots our credibility slips.
Looking forward to your contributions.
