(Hi Jose!!)....
Hi Denise,
Thanks for asking, well, there are disability benefits here, but so minimal as to be a joke, and I've lived away from the UK for too long, so no help there - though I don't think the UK would let you starve. HK would in a heartbeat. Know what you mean about the credit card problems, been there done that...
But things have been better recently, just hope it lasts. Yes, working from home = good, but freelancing = not regular, so...it's a rollercoaster.
Meds are a problem - can't live with'em, can't live without'em, there are days when concentration is a serious problem, a real time-waster...and days when I simply can't remember what I was going to do next...I've got so much slower than before, mainly because there are days when I just sit around with a big question mark over my head and a guilt complex

. But it's preferable to the pain, ya know?
Hope you're doing better..
all the best!
