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.

Kanga, will you be at the meeting? I hope you psych ca really stand up for you. Are you able to talk to your psych about your concerns before the meeting?

The psych is pretty well switched on we have chatted and she has been made aware of my misgivings. But it still puts my nerves on edge. I just want to get home. So if I need a doctor I get one, If I need medication I get it on time

Will hope for a positive result for you this time Kanga - you are entitled to it - basic human dignity no less

When I did PCA work I did it with dignity. and gave my clients dignity. I did it without fan fair unless required . If I had to raise the roof it was then when finished I would ask if that was high enough if not it would get raised higher. Some times the organize would have to ask me to slow it down because I was getting dangerous. But that was then this is now. No more fast cars, or even faster women.

There was an emergency so I was delayed. one and a half two hours later get picked up Get told the department has been notified we are late come in any way we get there your not on the list the doctor will see you any way examination done Just an area of lumpy fat nothing untoward BUGGAR all that running about for nothing even though I don't do stuff all I ave better things to do with my time than go to hospital to watch doctors playing with there toys I want to play as well with my toys.

Well I was not stressing about it at all the in emergency dep doctor was more stressed than I was. I am beyond most of it now. I have made good with the people I have to. I have said what I have had to say to them I have made good. My path is clear Still have to get more people to smile so there is purpose left for me. Even after one of my mentors has now gone to the great stage and movie screen the director called him up for a command performance. with his old mate Dean bye Jerry make them laugh you old fart.
