So things got slightly worse since my last post. I got into a violent fight with a family member and now I have a police order on me, ive been staying at my boyfriends and his family don't want me here. I am estranged from my mother, and the fight was with my grandmother, who would of made it her mission to tell the family. So it's been a few days and it's pretty clear my mother want to get involved,conveniently. I don't want to tell my dad because he hasn't been apart of my life for very long and I don't want to really get anyone involved. I just literally have no one older then me to help me or give me any support.

Hi Wonderland (interesting, unusual and yet great name that you've picked)

Thanx for getting back to us and I had a quick read of your previous posts - at that time, you had broken up with your boyfriend - did you manage to patch things up or is this someone else? I don't know why I asked that, cause it's really none of my business - but I guess it just might help a bit, cause if it's your previous boyfriend, at least he may have a bit of knowledge of your background. Having said that, that doesn't help you out with seeking support from someone in the more older age bracket.

I'm sorry to hear that you had a fight with your grandmother - I guess mental health issues, combined with alcohol and potentially difficult relatives can be a bad mix. I'm guessing if the police were involved, it sounds like a situation that isn't going to be easily fixed?

Is your boyfriend aware of the way that his family are acting towards you??

You mentioned in your previous post about a friend who you felt was very supportive to you. Is that still the case? I know you mentioned that you were scared about possibly losing her if you tried to rely on this person too much, but wow, I really think that this is a time to possibly call on this friend for some support. Do you think there'd be any chance that you could move in with this friend - even for a little while? Or do you have any brothers, sisters, or even aunts or uncles that you may be able to call upon?

I'm sorry I've riddled you with questions - and I've just got one more: have you been to see a GP about your situation recently? It might also be a very good time to arrange an appointment.

Thanx for coming back to us and I do hope there'll be others to chime in with some support and advice - and I hope that you can get back to us as well.

Kind regards

Neil

It's the same boyfriend we got back together, he's been really supportive and helped me out alot.when my order was taken off today I went home and all my things were packed up and I was told I had to make other living arrangements, me and my boyfriend were really confused as to why she hadn't notified one of us so I could actually MAKE thoose arrangements, considering I don't have a Job I get paid only fortnightly and if my boyfriend hadn't been there too help I would of been completely stuck. I'm at that friends house I mentioned, but I really don't want to impose because she has a child and siblings living with her, so I dug myself a hole and said I'd be here a day, I really don't want to stay with my dad as he is living in a small house with my aunty and I'd have a couch. 😕 I also start voluntary work at anglicare Monday and it's compulsory, I'm freaked out about all this stuff do I have any options? Like hostels or something?

Also I have not seen a gp, why would I need too?

geoff · ‎09-05-2014

dear Wonderland, this whole scenario doesn't seem to be very pleasant for you, but sometimes GP's do have contacts with places that can take people in for emergency accommodation, and if not then google it, which depends on what State you live in.

With all that is going on your are probably being affected by anxiety, which is understandable, so your GP maybe able to give some medication for this, but in the mean time please google 'emergency accommodation'.

Where I live there is an agency that finds fully furnished places for immediate accommodation. so please get back to us and which State you live in. L Geoff. x

Hi Wonderland

You mentioned about why would you need to see a GP – I just think in your current situation, where you’ve got no adult support at all – that a GP may be able to assist you with some advice about possible housing opportunities, if you’re able to give them a rundown of your situation.

Otherwise, if you’d rather, you could run a search on the website of Department of Community Services for possible options that they have for people who are in desperate need of housing.

I’m sorry that I’m not able to provide you with something more positive for you. I wonder if Beyond Blue (if you’re listening/reading?) whether you may have some suggestions for Wonderland due to her current accommodation circumstances??

Kind regards

Neil

I went online, I found 'crisis housing' I've been ringing all day, and ascent had a phone call back. I live in WA Perth.

wonderland_j74 · ‎10-05-2014

I've rang crisis care, all kinds of places! its extremely difficult to get in. They litterally never phone back and i've rang so many times. I'm getting extremely stressed, I leave my friends today and now I need somewhere else to go asap. My boyfriend wants to get me,I would, but I still need to be in my general suburb by monday because my centrelink compliance activity is working at this particular op shop and if I don't go I don't get any money which is my only support of income at the moment. I've got a centrelink crisis form to fill out which is like ten pages long and I don't even think I'm going to be able to fill all that out by myself. I hope I have all my required paperwork on me anyways. If you have any phone numbers for places I haven't already rung 100x times, please send me them for Perth WA. thanks.
