Trapped in supported accommodation

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.

Well all sorts of things happening staff being asked for assistance with a nebulizer some how turned out to be getting me an adult nappy. not the first time this has happened. they have trouble with my spoken word. It is Australian English. they are from overseas. Most people don't ask me to repeat unless I speak softly. Talked with management nothing they can do. There wont be any support if and when I go home. I wont to go home but now scared because breathing is getting harder this place is not set up for some one like me. Damed if I go damed if I stay I need options. Not being told but true options places that are better suited for mental health . Plus able to look after someone who has arthritis and needs a Bidet set up on the existing toilet at no cost the the management. that takes care of me.loopy

Hey Kanga,

Now I'm worried again. What do you mean breathing is getting harder? Didn't they check you out and find all was ok? Are they doing more tests. What's the story now with going home? I thought they had support organised?

Dear Kanga~

I'm sorry it is so hard, as an intelligent person you will have thought of most ways around the problems already. That make me worry about insulting you by offering a thought or two.

You have your computer, and can show a pic of a neb or whatever you want, do you think you can get around a bit of the language barrier that way?

Reading your plans from a few days ago it looked like you had a lot of the logistics for going home already sorted, even though there were still stumbling blocks. As for breathing, my first wife was a severe asthmatic and used a battery powered portable neb, which had 2 advantages, portability, go anywhere, and not needing wires to tangle or limit it's movement. Worked off 240 if the battery was flat. Can the Asthma Foundation help?

I don't if you have anyone who can get things for you, where I am the local Smith Family and Vinney's shops have a lot of health gear cheap, including over-toilet seats, walking frames and so on.

You will get there in the end, I've no doubt about it
