I am waiting to be transferred from my public housing to Melbourne but as of, yet I haven't been moved.

MJW1974, I'm sorry that things have been rough for you☹️ and the bureaucracy within the different departments of government can make things worse. plus without family-supporting, it must be very hard for you at the moment...

I think I can resonate with the feeling of shutting down...especially with a mental health issue. It's a vicious cycle...☹️ so feel free to share more here if you feel comfortable, this is a welcoming, non-judgemental community. we're here to listen.

May I ask because I wonder where you live at the moment, is there any others in your family or your community that you can trust and turn to at some point? and did you join the NDIS?
