No support. At all.

AnneMargaret

I'm fed up with me and my family getting no help or support. I am waiting to see a social worker but we have been asking for support for ages now and keep getting put off. My mum is nearly 62 and it is not fair on her having to cope with me aswell as her other kids and grandkids. I am really struggling tonight but have told no one. Except now yourselves.

Things have been like this for over 7 years. Even though i've been in and out of mental hospital. They just fob you off like everyone else out there.

What are we meant to do? I am struggling to live like this. Everyday is more of a struggle. I panic about what i should eat, when and how often should i was/wash my hair, clean my bunnies, go out, what i should buy, how i should talk. I keep forgetting how to deal with things.

I am probably making no sense at all and as i am currently tearful i am going to shut up. Sorry.

  • Hi.

    I have Dr's Thursday. But keep being told there's only so much they can do as they aren't trained in mental health as such.

    Social worker got in touch and i see them next Tuesday.

    Yes i still have my 13 bunnies. Although some are poorly and have to go vets soon as they keep coughing and sneezing :( Hope it's nothing serious.

    My sister has gone back to Australia which has sort of topped everything off for me. :(

    I am sort of still "chipper" just feeling like nobody is helping. It seems to all be about children but there are adults out there struggling to live independently. Me being one of them. (I can't go anywhere alone for starters.)

    And finally i feel my parents deserve support. I can be very up and down which is also part of my PD but my parents have never even seen a professional or anyone who could help or support them. And i feel sorry for them. They are both in their 60s.

    So i am just a moaner i guess. Sorry.
