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.

  • Hello Anne

    I am very relieved to hear about Bunty and Pip and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and for them.

    You were very close with 'airborn', it justs wants an 'e' on the end of it, and it's the kind of word loads of people will probably spell wrong.

    The idea might be completely useless, but I wonder if you have ever tried contacting your local Council for Voluntary Service?  They look for volunteers for a whole range of things - maybe they could look for a volunteer 'friend' who could help you get out and about without mum and dad always having to be involved?

    Your problems don't sound daft - and especially not in a forum like this one.

    I've had an okay day but am a bit stressed about a couple of colleagues who keep pressing one of our ASD students to continue working on his English revision, despite the fact that we just recently agreed that he should quit doing it because of the level of stress it is putting on him.

    It makes me cross.Yell

    But I can't stay cross.Wink

    I'm fine, really.  And very glad to hear from you.

    Love to you,
