Summary
Helloo! I'm currently looking for a place of employment so i can afford basic necessities and to be able to pay rent to live happily, (Especially In this economy, XD). Currently i am working at pizza express and I'm planning on leaving as they are restricting my right to work, (As I've asked for more hours and got ignored several times (Proof can be show if asked.))
I am on Prescribed Medication For PTSD, Anxiety and claustrophobia. From this i am also very good at distinguishing work life from home life which i prefer to keep separate unless under Certain Situations as i am a young carer for most of my family (3 members, Mother, Father and Youngest brother.) to where i can use this skill I've learnt to be able to tell when someone's not mentally well, aka has drank too much or shouldn't be able to drink alcoholic beverage.
I suffer with a chronic pain, scoliosis (curvature in the spine, that can affect movement at times) i have been suffering with this for a while and my medical team at the doctors have not helped me much.
