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.

    (for so you signed yourself last time) and, yes, it is Richard.  I keep forgetting my name has been mentioned at least once since I took on my username.  Apologies for not getting back to you sooner but, as I'm sure you know, the site has been down for a day or two.

    Glad to hear Bunty and Pip are in mummy-snuggling mode.  My favourite mode, too, sort of, and there's no picture quite equals, for me, the sight of my two moggies snuggled up together.

    Anyway, 'tis Friday and school is over for another week.  Another week or two at most and we'll be 'on holiday' again - though the truth is that I work more unpaid overtime than you could shake a stick at, in term time and out.

    And my good lady, my son, the kids I work with are all fine.  Mum's been a little poorly this last week - she has vascular dementia - so I'm waiting to hear how she's getting on.  Saying goodbye to a sixth former after his final exam on Monday and that will be very sad - he's one of the best guys I've ever met, a fine, honourable young man.  And I know we are losing some staff soon - just people moving on - and there are one or two I will miss very much.  It is always the best who leave, it seems.

    Briefly going back to your last mail - I don't think the involvement of volunteers would necessarily mean that you couldn't get other kinds of help.  My thought was that it might be a way to meet other people too, and to find out about support groups.

    Enough of that for now.Time for me to - yup - get back to work Laughing

    warmest best wishes, and an 'x' too,

    Richard
