I wrote about this a few weeks ago - when I first developed Long Covid I was in a really high stress abusive relationship and leaving that drastically improved my symptoms and ability to cope with them. It made me realise that I was in a similar really high stress abusive relationship in 2015 when I developed ME/CFS - with WINZ, who were threatening me with sanctions once a month over obligations I was never meant to have. Stress makes people sicker, and keeps us sick longer, and none of it's okay. A functioning state welfare system, in relationship with all state services operating appropriately, shouldn't require sanctions.
I’m trying to share this on Facebook but every time it is removed because apparently I’m posting “to get likes” which is against their guidelines. WTF Facebook?
ARGH so frustrating!! I've found putting in a comment and discussion or quote at the top of the post, and copying and pasting the link more effective - a bit of a faff though!!

Oh, I know why - it's the image of a kid in hospital - I've changed this now to the tree image so it should be shareable now!
