Lonely. I go out to get some allergy medicine and get some coffee, and I just see nearly everyone with either a friend or partner. Then there's me, all by myself.
It makes me sick.

I am not a happy lady right now. My mothers husband is giving me **** for not wanting to go somewhere with him and my mom. For one, I am too old to still be living here. Two, I am not interested in hanging out with a married couple.
He's giving me crap about it because I never go out. Yeah of course I don't. I can't drive (yet), I have no friends, and they never want to take me anywhere, unless it's to somewhere they want to go. I want to go somewhere?.. like to see my grandma? Well tuff ****. But if they want me to go to some party that their friends/family are having, then I'm a weirdo who never leaves the house and a bad person for not wanting to go.
Yeah, that makes sooo much sense. Being agoraphobic is horrible, I dream of the day I will finally be able to get out of here. It. Will. Happen. I hope =(
Like I am not being aloud to get on the Lifeboat. :sad:

What the hell is ATOS?
Atos Healthcare in the UK
Atos Healthcare's has a contract believed to be worth £400 million with the UK's Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), under which it "conductdisability assessments for people claiming a range of disability benefits including Employment Support Allowance, Personal Independence Payment,Incapacity Benefit, and Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit."
Atos has been criticized in the media, in Parliament, by the medical profession, and by protest groups regarding its disability programs.
A government study published in 2012 found that half of the people identified as "fit for work" by Atos Healthcare's Work Capability Assessment on behalf of the Department of Work and Pensions in the UK, remained unemployed and without income.
In 2012, 43 complaints against Atos doctors and nurses were being investigated by the General Medical Council or Nursing and Midwifery Council. Criticism has been directed at Atos over the ability of its staff to deal with complex mental health problems and conditions whose symptoms vary with time.In August 2012, Atos Healthcare claimed they had appointed 60 Mental Function Champions to provide additional training.
Atos assessors have found patients with brain damage,terminal cancer or severe multiple sclerosis to be fit for work.According to government statistics, 1300 people died shortly after being declared fit for work by Atos.
In August 2011, twelve doctors working for Atos as disability assessors had been placed under investigation by the General Medical Council because of allegations of misconduct in relation to their duty of care to patients.
