How canny her surname's "Kelly",
Anyway it's odd how since she's been in CBB everyone "including the press" has seemed to stop slaughtering her for being on benefits for "depression."
I must say i have suffered with severe depression myself over the last five years I had cancer in 2009 and was in hospital having chemotherapy locally for the first year and half, then in summer of 2010 i was transferred to London University Hospital in Euston for a stem cell/ bone marrow transplant and was basically there for about 3 months which was awful.
Thankfully now in remission.. But still suffering great health problems.
At the time i had no choice but to go onto ESA
(Employment support allowance)
basically the updated version of disabled benefit.
I'm a single mum to a beautiful 19 yr old daughter who is/has been my rock
Now i am clear and months ago the "Atos Healthcare Assesment" decided i am fit for work again because i can stand up touch my nose with my finger? and walk to the end of a room and back.
They just do not understand what you have been through mentally let alone physically etc.
But i can't help but notice even on the programme "Benefits street" Dee does not to me strike me as someone with "Clinical depression" i know for one fact that there is no way i could go in the bb house feeling like i do.
(I have wanted to go in for years)
I know not everyone can be tarred with the same brush with mental health issues, but depression is something you just cannot hide, i haven't seen it in her at all even from seeing her before CBB.
And the "Motherly role" she is trying to play is really grating on me atm.
How dare she shout in Gary Busey's face ???
Of all people she should realise Gary has mind issues but she's trying to
"fit in" with the others slagging him off.
She comes across and probably is a nice person but don't be fooled she knows she's onto a good earner here.
Sorry for the personal info but just had to be said.
Peace x
