I see it as a weakness I'm 35 been on it for nearly 10 years. It's different if I was in my 50's. I'm a young women who will so far never have a job, never have a pension, I will never contribute to my national insurance meaning I haven't worked since 2011. It's a personal attack on me as a person. But I can't even volunteer effectively let alone work. Very few people in my life know I haven't got a job. I'm so ashamed if the stigma yes that I hold but that others hold too. I want to work, I should be working, I am capable of a job end of.... I've held a few jobs down prior to being ill so I know I can do it to a degree
