I really don't understand this at all.

I'm looking into doing a part time online MA in either AI or English and Languages and I was wondering if anyone had any experience/knowledge of how - if at all - this would affect the UC and PIP I'm currently getting. I've just had my UC appointment and she thought it was a great idea but couldn't offer any finance advice. I contacted the finance team and they said they couldn't offer any advice until I started the actual course 🤦‍♀️ if anyone could help I'd be really grateful as I don't want to start an expensive course they think I would benefit from then have no financial help at all

Is there a hairdresser in the area that does silent or individual appointments? I've got such bad anxiety I get stressed out as fuck at the hairdresser, I just rearranged my third appointment in a row. Busy salons make me nervous and pressured into saying I like something when I hate it. Any recommendations?

Just out of curiosity does anyone know why it shut?

Is it difficult to - for lack of a less harsh term - cut a family member out of your life? My brother abused me as a kid and it didn't really dawn on me that what he did and said wasn't normal until a few months ago. Even now he doesn't take me seriously and constantly makes jokes, cruel ones at my expense. I also realised that if I met him and he wasn't a family member I wouldn't like him at all. Is it hard to keep someone away when I've repeatedly tried drawing boundaries he doesn't respect? I'm in therapy at the moment and I'm realising our adult relationship is extremely mentally damaging

My therapist suggested a family session - childhood issues, abuse etc - but I mentioned it to my brother and he said he didn't know what was wrong with me but it had nothing to do with him, also that I was lying. What now? To me that says there probably should be a family session but I know he wouldn't go

I'm going to be moving up to Newcastle from Yorkshire in a few months and I have epilepsy so need a decent GP, is it a struggle to get registered for one/is it even possible at the minute?
