Thanks @Whitehawk 

I'm really stressing. I guess I'll wait and see if I get a call. 
I hate looking fir wirk. It's the hardest thing to do. 
Abd it's hard when you're older.

Hi @BlueBay 

Two rules off the top of my head 

1.      You never lie to a possible employer - if they find out in the future you will not              build trust 

2.      You don't have to tell them whatever your future obligations might be - as far as          they are concerned you might be working at a temporary job or caring for a sick          relative. Let them imagine 

Simply say that you have already have commitments for the next two weeks.

And it's no good stressing about it - you have to get an interview yet and you should be so lucky!

And from what I have been reading your first commitment is to your own health - you will have a better chance at a successful interview if you have given yourself time and space to recover from so much recent trauma

And - this question just came to me: if you don't take your health - mental and physical - seriously - how can you expect anyone else too?

I know - I can hear you - you are stuck and it's a bit like a broken record running around in your head - and actually - nothing ever happen until it happens -- you can worry about it all when it happens because it might now and why stress?

Just be honest and let your time in hosptial be a commitment you have already accounted for

And you will be okay

Thsnks @Owlunar 

you say" never lie"..... but it's no ones business if I'm in hospital is it??

im confused on what you wrote

my first step is to get stronger mentally and less tired.  my priority atm is hospital stsy and get the most out of it. 
I need to be better and confident to apply for jobs.

I am taking my mental and physical illness serious.

@Whitehawk @Maggie @Owlunar @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Gazza75 @MDT 
How am I supposed to look after myself mentally and physically when I have to 

look for work 

look for another house 

that's all I've done for the past three months. Several times a day. It's doing my head in. 

I want it all to stop.

I'm. Not sure hey @BlueBay

I'm sorry I'm not much help 😕

[Maggie]

@BlueBay  That’s what hospital is about I think. Time to leave things you can’t change, and rest. Time to let others take care of you. I hope that time will help it to stop. 💙💙💙

I need to slow down and get better first.
