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.

I chatted with my case manager today got told the same old story I wasn't going home no chance of seeing my kids (boo - Hiss the grinch) Called an Advocacy group don't know if we can help, (right getting Better still not good) Called NDIA told most of the equipment has been approved some one looking into it because I am in supported accommodation its up the place to provide said equipment. not ndia. So there is microscopic chance It will be on it's way Not holding my breath

Peter,

I am so sorry that you keep on being let down my people who should be helping you.

I like your use of song lyrics.

I did predict that what has now happened would happen if I was found in an old age home.

That I would be in there till I die. Right it might be in 20 years but no one is getting me out. My health is getting worse slowly I have no community ties left Good Bye All
