Scarlett can’t work, can’t get disability allowance and now the cost of living is damaging her mental health

For the past six months, Scarlett has noticed that her body begins to shake excessively.

It’s a response she associates with withdrawal from antidepressants, but that didn’t happen this time.

Instead, the tremors have coincided with rising costs of living, as she and her housemate have had to adjust their already tight budget.

“I have no way of supporting myself financially and I don’t know what to do,” Scarlett said.

“So that’s where I get to and then the spiral starts all over again.”
