I need a bit of a confidence boost *trigger*

I checked, i am not eligible for income support. i didnt apply fot DLA on mental health grounds because it wasnt an issue at the time, but i didnt qualify on grounds of visual impairment. I can function with the depression (in fact several people have said im a prime example of high functioning depression, if that is indeed a thing), so i can't see me qualifying for it now on those grounds either.

Im putting in an application for council housing at the moment, in which i will mention the mental health. Im aware it probably wont come to anything, but at last i can try.

I'll say this just once again, because I truly hope that you will be able to take this on board. The rules, eligibility and criteria are often very different to what you expect. Please go to your local Citizens Advice and ask for help determining what they (the experts) think you may or may not be entitled to. You may just be surprised.
