    It is my first time signing on. I really didn;t know much about all this benefits stuff. I don't want to be a scrounger. But I am like a super weak woman.



    I know usually they want you to sign on ASAP. But it has been nearly 5 months since I am back home at parents. Sent out loads of cvs, even for minimum wage positions. I want to move to Dublin, find a flatshare, look for entry level positions in my field (BA Grad) and hopefully get the jobseekers allowance while I do so. Is it possible?

    Also, I have terrible anxiety and problems with depression (as well as light aspergers/add). I would like to claim for disability but I know it is really hard to get for mental disorders (although it affects me terribly, very isolating, anxiety nightmares at night, the works). What can I do?

    I have been in a domestic abuse circumstance. Will there be supports for me if I move to a new city? I am not in the best state alltogether really but people are pretty ruthless. I do not want to end up homeless.
