its like she is some kind of born again Guy Fawkes / Robin Hood kind of character before treatment shrinks her down to be an unpaid carer  . Shes a tank girl , Lara Croft kind of character. She hits poverty when she meets Mike around 1982 , and is on and off benefits . They eat rice and baked beans with onions carrots and ginger , and make toast on his electric fire . Some days all she'd have is be a bag of Bombay Mix or a flapjack . Finding 20 p on the streets would mean a joyful cup of tea , beans on toast a rare treat
 
she loses teeth from malnutrition , cant afford buses and trains , she developesM.E. and her mental health deteriorates . But also a joyful time that makes her appreciate the little things in life .  She has nowhere to go when they fight and would sometimes sleep outside , which in these days in London is OK it feels quite safe , especially in the centre where there are bars open all night and people milling around Leicester Square , playing guitars . its not like that any more , although shes not been there she knows it isnt . Even though she is a very attractive young woman she feels quite invincible 
 
there is a wonderful busker called Bruno , she can never find him on the internet , but his haunting ballads are always with her . one of his lines was ' see me bleeding on the floor ' about a lost romance . Bruno is playing his guitar when the police put Mike in their van for disturbing the peace with Lizzy screaming to let him go . Brunos songs are full of soul and yearning 
 
Lizzy is quite volatile with her family so that they cant do much to help and have to ' let her experience the consequences of her life choices ' occasionally giving a meal or a tenner for some food . She'll present them with drawings of London street scapes which they are delighted with . They kept her piano so that she can have a tinkle on it when she visites . One time she stays the night at Dads and she pisses in the waste paper basket is how unwell she is. She advises her dad to go to therapy about the family issues which makes him really mad and he asks her to leave 
 
the hardships of her life give her courage joy and clarity , even though she cant afford a cheese sandwich . She and Mike cant afford therapy , so they go to whereever there might be some free help , religious organisations , mosques , healers, gurus , some of which may be cults . But somehow theyd not get trapped in them , leaving before they  get baptised . Gospel churches are helpful and promise to drive the devil out of them . One of the healers says that Lizzy is ' carrying the guilt of her whole family ' an idea she has never really understood
 
these days you can walk into the Samaritans and have tea with them . on one occasion she sits there for five hours ! 
 
another time they go  in there together and see a guy called Alan who becaomes exasperated by their relationship , they call him Alan the Atom after he explodes with rage. He is  a nice man it isnt his fault ! But the help she is getting doesnt really add up to anything meaningful or consistent , the ptsd is untreated and her family despair for her  
 
the interviews with the dwp dont really help to address all this either . Being asked if you can touch your toes or take a pen out of your pocket is kind of demeaning rather than helpful . She feels re-traumatised when she is assessed remembering all that , how degrading and humiliating it is , and her brain feels like it goes to factory default . She starts dreaming of assisted dying . which would be a victory for certain people
 
and her sex life is some consolation when she feels someone has invited her to have a wank about them, it all feels very glamorous and creative , and helps to alleviate some of her anger and fear and something she can do from her bed  , about 2 times a week , and writes poetry and songs about it , so they can guess who it is about !
