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 plan hasn't changed but it's scary I just wont have a physical person in the building to hold my hand when a panic attack happens. no one to do a welfare check before now it was me who did the welfare check on friends family , visited hospitals. now there is no one no one here beside me. I am truly alone In the middle of the city. lonesomeness is every thing it's cracked up to be. my family don't know even though they have been tnformed about it.

With the nebulizer Kanga, I was looking after an elderly chap awhile ago now and I had to
I'm really sorry I can't be there to organise all of this for you, and I'll ask Paul to be there as well, maybe a card game, especially if we can get another player so we can play 500, haven't played that for years or some other game only using matches though. Geoff.

I wish i could give a few people a good kick up the butt for you. Are you able to get someone in to clean up the place. I don't understsnd why they are not setting up council services which are not that expensive. Surely your 18 your daughter can help. Will she come back to live with you? I am dumbfounded by this situation.

Daughter now values her freedom doesn't want to be tied down looking after an old man till he turns up his toes. I have tried counsel they have said things which have been proven to be lies. I call them out on this they refuse to work with me now. There are other agencies. cheep. But the people currently wont contact them . I tried To arrange a meeting the people working with me found out cancelled it Then the people working with me said I can go home any time I like, but I wont be supported. ( What does that mean) does this mean I wont have them helping me any more? This is why my Phyce is getting involved. To bat for me to get ACAS involved cheep cleaning services, meals on wheels etc I have done the research its the agency I am a client of for mental health. No names no pack drill. They dont know physical disabilities I have been in that area for about forty years. I have forgotten more than what they have learnt, collectively. Dam I am modest.I am still working on it. Just remembered I would have at least one visitor per week delivering medications. WEEEEE

I'm gonna come down and kick a few butts for you. I really hope your psych can get something going . It is ridiculous. The council no longer want to deal with you? Don;t they have a duty of care?
As if I wasn't angry enough today.

**puts on boxing gloves**
Thought this stuff was part of the reason we pay taxes - to support folks like Kanga?
(apologies if I offend anyone. No offence meant.).
