I officially quit today:

Image
 I will only apply for jobs now via DurhamEnable.  Three years of wasting my time is enough. I am no longer wasting my precious time on forms that will lead to nothing because society is the problem, not the disabled. I will focus on my own business and that's that! My heart goes out to all disabled people that have to deal with years of this rejection, that don't disclose their disabilities so they get to the next stage only to not be taken further once they do. For EE I corrected and helped an actual paid employee when I shadowed them, I am exhausted.  I am done. Today I officially quit wasting my time with jobs unless they're linked to disability friendly organisations. Sarah Wingfield.

You have to become your own boss:

All you ever read when you're disabled and seeking paid employment...get used to it, and oh if you're autistic and have RSD, enjoy it even more!!! Three years of this so far and more to come, I need to get driving so I can be MY OWN BOSS and get my business back up and running and do a refresher in photography cause there is NO WAY anyone will hire me. Your skills means nothing when you're mobility impaired.  Your studies and sacrifices worthless. I need to stop being professional and honest and stop disclosing I have a disability to people hiring, because when I don't disclose it I get to the next stage sometimes, and then I'm not taken further once they find out. Thank you universe. I am worthless because that's how employers see me. I am exhausted from trying when no one else will. Sarah Wingfield.

Are the govt going to pay employers?

Image
Are the government prepared to pay employers to employ disabled people then? Cause without incentive we won't get hired! Been looking for a paid job for three years and apply to over 120 a month and I've been with three organisations that help people into work and been to a reverse job fair and more! I have so many new qualifications cause I work for charities unpaid while I wait for paid work because I have to find £190 a month to cover my pain management medication costs cause nothing on the NHS helps and I've managed to reverse the kidney and liver damage over a decade of opioids caused me and never helped me. Just helped me suffer and be less of a burden on the NHS system.  Also whose gonna cover the hospital and social care costs that these cuts are going to inflate and incrue? We're supposed to be saving money not costing the country more with homelessness, mental health, chronic pain and the disabled suffering because they're no longer going to be able to aff...

The cuts will cost us BILLIONS elsewhere:

 Let's cost ourselves BILLIONS in hospital care and social care instead because of these cuts: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/mar/17/keir-starmer-to-unveil-drastic-disability-benefit-cuts-despite-opposition As the government haven't taken into account they are condoning harm on the most vulnerable of society and those who didn't choose to be disabled. These cuts will in fact cost us more when they come into affect as many disabled and vulnerable are forced into poverty. With this hospitals and social care will have to try and make up for the loss, costing the country billions when we were supposed to be trying to save. We can't save by taking from those with nothing, maybe start thinking about cuts from the top. This may be controversial to those easily influenced by the propaganda and claims it's not sustainable but in reality what's not sustainable is sacrificing the needs the disabled have to cover costs of the wants of those in power. I'm not s...

Still surprised people condone harm:

Image
Why are the ones who claim to support and study and work in mental health always the most abusive, judgemental and sadistic?  How we were ever friends I don't know but ew and unfriended. My work matters.  Educate yourself better. Period. We need to support and help the vulnerable not penalise them and make things worse! Best to avoid anyone who thinks the PIP reform will be a good thing. I'm lucky I'm not homeless yet ... But could be shortly... I have to fund private pain management and more. Disability isn't cheap it's expensive and I'm heartbroken that people in these industries can't see the harm they're causing and advocating for. I definitely don't want to be counselled by anyone who condones harm. I won't share the screenshots on my blog because I'm not big on hate campaigns and people like this lady who has psychiatry papers published will always show her true colours to people around her eventually. I simply can't support anyone ...

I also want to inspire other disabled actresses and producers to chase their dreams, being disabled changes everything and I just want to show others that reaching your dreams is still possible and want to inspire others to see the...

Email the MP:

Email the MP now! Dear Mr Strickland, As a constituent in Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor, I’m deeply concerned by reports of proposed changes to disability benefits, particularly those that would affect Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCWRA) group.  These changes could have a devastating impact on disabled people, pushing many into financial hardship. I urge you to speak out against these cuts. I am a disabled woman whose a mother to a disabled child as well as an independent disability advocate. Disabled people with complex needs often face significant barriers to work and they should get the support they need to overcome these barriers. But PIP is unrelated to work, so making it harder to access does nothing to improve people's path to work. And even if it did, employment is not a realistic prospect for every disabled person. No one should be forced to enter work or look for work at the expense of their health. Re...
