Lots of issues. I need more support.

Bethy

I feel that I should be living in a supported unit with staff. I don't get enough care at home. My social worker doesn't listen and hardly contacts me. I am terrified of a dental appointment that I need to go to on Thursday. Crying all the time and feeling distressed because of it. I have no food in at home at the moment. I missed my shopping day last Wednesday. I hardly have any money. What can I do?.

  • I remember the last time I had a checkup I had a panic attack. I don't know how many years ago that was, but I'm regretting not going since.

    It might be worth talking with your dentist about sedation. It might mean that your next appointment is delayed if there's any further preparation required, but it might work better than a regular appointment.

    Thanks Tony. Should I go to the first appointment on Thursday and then decide about sedation after that?. I have been having panic attacks again today.  We're you supposed to have a lot of treatment or was it the check up that gave you the panic attack?. My bottom front teeth hurt at the moment and look stained and I have receding gums. It's worrying. 

    And thanks, Heather-Mod. I will have a look at the webpage and ring the helpline. I was thinking of asking about living in the supported housing in Northenden in Manchester that is mentioned on here. It sounds like they offer the kind of support that I need.
