Trapped in supported accommodation

[kanga_brumby]

I have various people on my team supposedly helping through my depression, and other issues I have. They requested I go into a care facility for a one month stay. Which I agreed to fully expecting to return home about one month after. As soon as I mover in to the place there attitudes changed. All of a sudden I had to stay in the supported accommodation. Because I was not going to be supported in my home. Even though the support I need is available from various agencies. Around Melbourne by various counsels or privet agencies. Providing attendant care and home help. I believe I should be eligible for funding for disability. I have raised this with the people who are my advisers. But get caned every time I am not consulted. About the decision I am told just sit back do as we say. When your ready we will help more then. The plan i am not consulted on it's not working it's just stagnating. My family are no help. I am that fed up where I am. I am rely contemplating ending it all my life has no meaning in here. Just a worthless piece of meat that gets treated like a 3 year old. I know a warehouse full of stuff. That no one can now use. I cannot help anyone in here not even myself I'm not aloud.

Hello Kanga

It's been a while since I wrote to you but looking at your recent replies I see you have been going through a hard time. I am sorry to hear that.

No one wants a party pooper to rain on the pity party I know. Did I just mix my metaphors? I'm trying to say something that is not sickly or irritating and it's not working. I'm sure you get the message anyway.

Hi Kanga,

Please don't let the bastards get you down.

Keep fighting and complaining and standing up for yourself. You deserve to be treated better than you are being treated. You're the King of the Brethren of Kangas for goodness sake 😊 they should be showing respect (and sacrificing plants) for you.

Just think one day when you get your freedom back you will have all the crap they've put you through documented here on the forums to support your letters of complaint. And maybe, hopefully you will change the system for the next poor soul in your situation.

Just keep your head up today and keep trying please. You are so loved on these forums! What would we do without your humour?!

Please take care of yourself.

Mary I am sorry but I am rely pissed off with people who are being payed salaries to work for me. Who have gradually eroded my life down to what it is today. When they weren't in my life I could tell you what I was doing for the next 6 months. Today I have trouble knowing what I am doing this afternoon. The knollage of how to plan is still there. But I don't have access to transport. I cannot walk far They told me they could help access all of this and more. I had to do it there way. Now I have no wrights in a place I shouldn't be in. Angry and some good people trying to help. The people in here are just trying to help I know that but right now I don't need the people in here doing any thing. Let me get angry at the support workers Blow off steam it's my safety valve. It stops me from doing Something I know I would regret in a quiet moment of reflection. So no one in Beyond Blue has done wrong I am not angry with them I just wish for it to be left alone for a bit. Because the Physiologist has it worked out. She has better training than me in getting the point over. The one I have trying to get across all along.

Will do mary. I am not like them if I say we are going this way that's the way we go. The people I am dealing with change direction half way through without warning and expect me to keep up when they wont or don't tell me squat. I have jumped on them before about this. At the moment they are the only game in town helping. My phych seems to be on the page. With out any prompting from any one. The only thing is getting them all in the same building and talking then on page. I have remained on page for four years they change workers more times in a year than I have had hot breakfasts in 20 year. every 3 months its a new worker. some times its two weeks. Then they have to catch up listen to the other worker . never me It point less telling any one in Beyond blue they can do nothing. I won't name the company other people may have had good stuff with them. I want to keep it that way. Most of the workers are doing a great job. With other clients different challenges.

Hey Kanga,

I read you post in the circle. OMG, do they have their heads up their ....? If you can't go home cos the house is a mess why can't they organise someone through the council to clean it up and other services too? Gees, I would do it or you if i could?

[kanga_brumby]

CMF to answer the question "do they have their heads up their ....?" Short answer yes. The problem is it's an on going problem as I cannot clean house enough, with bad knees. I cannot afford council cleaners The council have seen me before various things were said claims were made. A he said she said sort of thing. I asked for council to take me off for medical appointments. Claim maid by worker He cannot get into a sedan. (Well what are most metropolitan taxis?) ( Big clue Sedans) He can catch taxis He has a discount taxi card ( At the time I did not and I told them so )

I am the problem there is no funding to help clean the house on a weekly basis. To also help put groceries away make meals. All of the aids equipment I require is out on the market to buy Some only needs a Handyman to fit it. No one is interested in helping me get it. Dam I have even tried crowd funding. You have junkies an charges for trying to import there drugs crowd funding getting money. Me cannot raise the price of admission to a public toilet. So I am in here wondering where is my Sancho Panza. Dam it where is he when I need him.

To those of you out there who have known me for a while might know I had a life before I was in a nursing home. I had friends with mental health issues long before getting involved with beyond blue. Not all of my responses have any bearing on what the situation I an currently going through. Some times I will say I had a friend who had a mental health plan that worked and it did. Her plan did not involve her family because her family were part of the problem. ( Incest, pedophilia) So I am very cautious about raising the issue and naming names. I have my view on those subjects which are mine and mine alone. the friend an I were very close mutual respect. So if you cannot respect me ... Before you say things about me WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES.
