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.

Ok thanks kanga,was just checking and you are all over it. I do understand that you would be so over it and I am sorry you are stuck in this bs.

It is very frustrating for us as well because you are our friend and we have no control in fixing things for you.

When you have had to explain thing as meany times as I have. I could have made a audio cd plus a memory stick handed them over once would have saved time The hole thing was to have taken one month that was the original promise then the changes started. That was back in June 2016. the story from them has changed so meany times the only consistent has been " You can go home any time but you wont be supported."What does that mean

I tryed to organize an ACASS assessment all I had to do was go home on one day have the assessment the next Go back into where I am now get home help to start at home and I move back in supported. The people helping me with mental health who placed me in here by stealth found out my plan cancelled the ACASS assessment. So I have nothing till we eventually got a physiologist on board who started rattling there cage This is where we are now Me still walking on eggshells explaining thing again to all and sundry still getting frustrated because the story has not changed I want to blow this problem up there is nothing any one will or can do for a simple little problem that needs a cleaner. Hell A friend of mine needed a hand because of a pain who rented his unit left it in a total mess I had to go help clean the entire unit for three days throwing out rubbish vacuuming washing floors walls now I cannot get anyone to help me for one reason or another. I have taken the time to build the bridge to get over it I keep getting shoved back or dragged back to explain it again and again

Kanga are you ok?

Trying to post all day

Kanga I'm so sorry,a

I don't know how to help you.

I could go through a list of options but I think you are aware of them all.

The only thing I and all your friends here can do is to support you,listen to what is going on. We are frustrated that we can't physically get you out of this crap.

Dont give up on us. We need you too.

Hey Kanga,

I'm sorry it has all been so hard for you. I've never heard anything like it. Why would they cancel your ACASS assessment, just does not make sense.

I'm sorry we upset you earlier.

Thats good news Kanga. I've been away the best part of a week, so I havent caught up with all your news as yet. But from from the posts I have read, it sounds like its been a difficult week for you? Hopefully everything is now on the improve again, and everything is back on track for progress in getting home with adequate support in place. Anyway good to see you back again after a half day absence.
