Don't know where to turn anymore

I'm struggling to get through each day.

My mother has submitted a long and detailed complaint to the NHS and social services but heaven knows how long that will take to be resolved. It's already a process that's been ongoing for over 5 months, since she first submitted the complaint.

I go out for walks, it's one of the few things I feel able to do and feel terrified when I walk past some people, I don't feel much of a connection at all with society at large. I feel oppressed and scared.

I no longer have much trust in any government or council organisations, nor charities, though I admit I do rely on the Samaritans for regular support.

There have been nasty incidents from my neighbours at the flat where I live and likewise nasty incidents from my father at the house where my parents live and I sometimes stay to escape my neighbours.

I don't think the word depression does justice to what I'm experiencing. I feel it's more like social cleansing. That society is trying to eradicate me from the gene pool.

  • I found out today, at long last, I'm having a couple of meetings in a few days with someone who volunteers to help people find community opportunities and someone involved in the NHS/social care so perhaps another assessment coming or potentially help.

    I'm neither optimistic nor pessimistic about these, based on past experiences. I feel I have little control over what will happen so don't see the point in getting either excited or cynical, either way. 

    I hope things really have got better for you Robert and you're not just putting on a brave face.

    I hope you find more joy and peace soon Fraiselongue.
