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.

The NDIS think my original claim was for depression anxiety. With a side order of arthritis with diabetes thrown in for good measure. Well they were half way there it was the exactly the wrong way around. As a result every thing is up side down my bottom is hanging out. I cannot move because every thing is tied up. I don't Know what it happening or when. And trapped in a place going madder by the hour. BUT still likeing my real friends.

My hard working Occupational therapist had to stop working for me. Rats we worked well together. Leaving me with me Case manager who works real slow and listens to much to every one else but the people who know what they are talking about.
Because the case manager decided to allow a group not to prioritize me with my mental health as fragile as it is I am changing Organizations all together. Safer A fresh start

The writing is on the wall I get jumped on by the case manager for being wish washy yet she can say one thing decide to go one way for me. then go to the office and totally change her mind that ok. then when back with me she will go a hole new direction back in the office there is another direction. Me I have a one track mind one job get it done move to the next one. her she is all over the shop trying to get three or four things done at once. it does not always work. Sometimes you can pull it off she is not that good. Depending on the work sometimes I can.
So after today she is GONE i should now start moving forward

So now it begins I got rid of the old team of stick in the mud people who insisted on fully taking charge of the direction my life took. Two weeks of not having a Case manager. In the old age home I am in there is still some are ge barge over wheather or not I can go out I keep making my point and going out. Because I am now Making Beanies and scarfs I am starting to win them over they now want me to start calling their very exciting game of BINGO. what I call the boring way straight numbers no flare no legs 11 or 10 downning street two fat ladies 88. but their callers you cannot hear and the old dears will chat away during the game and the callers dont know how to call bingo to a noisy room yet again I will have to show people just how great I am if they cut me some slack. but knowing my luck some pea brain will change it to suit them not me

Hey Kanga
Unless I have missed the point...which is often by the way...seriously.....I know people that play Bingo and they are happy....I do get it that you sound frustrated though
I hope you can elaborate for me when you wish to Captain Kanga
Always a treat to see you....I have been in a dentists chair for a while now.....I would prefer Bingo any day!
Just a friendly reminder Kanga.....We have only 15 weeks to go until Christmas 😉
Kanga >>>>>> Legend
My kindest..always

Paul they get all excited over a game of bingo it's the high light of their week.......
Not my idea of Excitement. The way I call and have seen all over there are funny catch calls for numbers. In here they don't want the catch call just 56, 11, 88, no humor at all.
Still Not feeling Christmasy because of a few Grinch's and Scrooges sucked the Christmas right out of me. One thing is the caring part of me is still intact. I will be giving this year as never before. Affecting peoples lives directly as never before. They will never know who I am just as the lone ranger coming in rescuing the town from the bad guy and riding off into the sunset without receiving a thank you. Who was that masked man Keymosabi?

Hey Kanga
I was surprised that Christmas is so close. I just thought Id stir you up about how close it is 🙂 You are not the only one that feels that way about Christmas...It can be hard work Peter
Do you agree that Bingo is better than sitting in the dentists chair? Ouch.....and then some!
My kind thoughts for you Kanga

I prefer the ride in the Dentist chair more exciting than Bingo.

At last I have a Team who know some of the stuff I do and who listen to priorities the right ones. as well as some short cuts.
The Management team here found some New underpants that I needed then the workers lost them. great team work huh. They find, I use once, they loose. So I now have to buy more The person who found them could not re find them but gave me some clues as in where to find them so I did. But at least now I feel I am starting to get a path way home and back into a real life. I have defiantly found a hobby which fills in my day and helps others. Now for faze 2 and 3 the last faze is dangerous. But helps me as well which leaves the Beach boys where they belong. on stage singing with me surfing the couch
