[UK] Help for self employed?

Hi guys,
My mental health has been deteriorating for a few years now. Last year I took 2 or 3 stints off work at a month a time, pretty much wiping out all savings I had. Since then it’s just been getting worse, I am not motivated, suicidal is on my mind from the seconds my alarm goes off. It’s a battle to get myself out of bed and into work.
The past few weeks I’ve been earning less and less money and I’m now on my arse. I owe money left right and centre, credit card maxed and can’t increase my overdraft anymore.
I could do with some time off to try and sort myself out but have no idea if there is help for self employed people?
I’ve been on anti depressants for a couple months now but they don’t seem to have made a difference.
Would really appreciate any help. Fed up of being a failure and the dark thoughts are peaking.
Thanks in advance I need help!

Gauntlet suggestions

Hi guys,
I’ve started taking gauntlet seriously. I’m only new and in Div 3 with limited cars. Last time I sandbagged and can’t decide whether to do that again or just set my best times?
I’d be really grateful if you experienced gauntlet legends could advise me with which cars would be best suitable for each of my tracks if possible please?
This is a short clip of the best ranked cars in my garage.

Tracks are as follows:

It’s a Twister
Hairpin Finish
Bridge to Bridge
Waterside Whirl
Meiji Rush

I am actively practising on private room trying to find the best cars myself but it’s a hell of a grind trying to see which cars perform best, and I’m keen to either start sandbagging or set my best times now 😀
Any advice much appreciated , thanks in advance 👌🤙

Replacing timber garage doors.

Hi guys,
Im a builder and an ederly gentlemen approached me on my dog walk to have a look at replacing his double doors to his garage. Sorry I don’t have any photos as I never had my phone with me.
I took a look because someone had quoted him thousands to do it and I want to help him out.
I’ve been calling around and I can’t seem to find any external frames that size (2x762mm doors)
I have 2 questions if anyone could help please?

If I were to make a frame from timber myself, what would be my best options? Hardwood is expensive but I know it’ll last, or will a softwood one be good enough with proper treatment?

There’s a small section of stud wall and cladding to fill the void, when I replace this will I need to place a damp membrane under the sole plate or will this eventually just trap moisture?
Trying to make sure I do a good job that’ll see this guy out the rest of his days ideally and no worries that I’ve done a cowboy job 🤣

Appreciate any advice thanks 👍

Which Evo parts to use?

This car is one of the only cars for an event that I can use. Wondering if it’s worth applying any of these parts if I have any that are a part of a good build?
Thanks in advance

Can’t connect to my PS5

Hello,
I have not been unable to connect to my ps5 when I am away from home. I used to be able to connect to it via mobile data, whilst at work in order to carry out big updates etc.
From trying everything possible I need help.
I googled and searched Reddit for similar problems but can’t really find any solution.
I can’t seem to change the settings/change ports of my internet to the recommended (via my providers control panel) and after web chats with agents they assure it’s my mobile provider.
I will try a friends WiFi tomorrow, but I have tried connecting via my works WiFi and a local supermarket whilst getting lunch one day. Neither would connect either, which leaves me sure it’s something to do with my home’s broadband provider?

Recently I’ve started playing a game that is easy enough to play on my phone and by logging in just a couple times a day to it for a few mins could rapidly increase my progress.

Is there anything I can do to get around this at all? Without taking my ps5 in and using my phone as a hotspot 😅

Thanks in advance

Car suggestions for gauntlet and multiplayer

Hey guys, this is a video of my garage, looking for suggestions on which cars would be best for gauntlet? I’ve not upgraded the majority of them so if any are worth while I’ll do so.
The auto select cars it recommends never do me well to be honest:
1* 918 Spyder Asphalt
1* Mustang RTR
4* Glickenhaus 0035
1* Noble M600 Speedster
5* 911 GT3 Rennsport

https://youtu.be/tcJF1eFYPGg?si=uZ\_Pk8tGhbIZrMMe

Thanks in advance, I know its extremely limited but anything I can do to increase my chances in gauntlet and mp would be much appreciated 👍

Could I do better with another squad?

Up until recently I’ve been pretty content with the slow progress and rewards from the current squad. I am quite a bit lower level than a lot of them but am still grinding more than others it would appear. They don’t seem to do the events which reward VIP and I am currently lvl 4 and half way to level 5 which I am keen to finally achieve for the auto race perks!
I am still green to this game though and not sure if this screen print can determine whether I’m in a decent bunch or not? 🤔 I took the SS last night before bed.

Completed showroom

Do I have to wait for the event to end to actually claim the key? Or do I need to fully upgrade it with all EIPs?

Cannot access any adult websites UK

Hey guys,
Never thought I’d bring myself to post about this, neither do I have any porn addiction lol but find myself “bored” recently and not sure why but even after trying various free and free trial VPNs; I get the same “Website not allowed” page.
Is this something anyone is familiar with? I am having no luck finding anymore information on how to get this over this ?

Showroom problems are they normal?

Hi I’m a relatively new player and after completing the BMW showroom event 2x I was able to max it out.
I then started the RENAULT RS. I grinded through the first stages to fall short on BPs and so I bought a couple 10 packs in order to get the car to 2 star. Now I’ve finished stage 6 and am still 2 star with 18/32 BPs. I completed the previous stage with not a single BP rewarded from the rewards!!
Now I’m pretty much locked out since I don’t have/want to spend on anymore packs. I’ll have to wait 5 days for it to finish to start it again!!! Greedloft never cease to amaze me, I won’t even go there about the credits 😡
Rant over I just wanted to know if this is normal or I was just seriously unlucky.

Hey I’ve been playing the game for around 2 weeks now and I’m stuck on a couple of season missions with less than 18 hours left!

I can’t progress any further in career mode since I need a few cars. I tried replaying an earlier career stage I’d already completed with an S class car but it didn’t change anything as you can see above. Any ideas how I can accomplish this?

Also I had a couple of things to do on car hunts but it’s vanished now, does anybody know if another is starting sooon?

Thanks in advance
