Anyone want to help?

Roswell

I feel my life is coming to its end stages and the NHS do nothing for me. I've been to A&E 12 times over the past 2 years, been picked up by the police loads of times. 

The system is broken. So guess I'm just wondering do any of you people want to help me?

Been bullied all my life, severe anxiety, ADHD, depression, Autism.

  • Oh sweetheart that's so difficult for me to hear because it is a terrible situation for you. I suffer from anxiety, depression and after a long struggle found medication helps. I would definitely seek medical advice, even if you're currently on medication to see if your type or dosage is correct. 

    I think things are getting better but not quickly enough. I would send an e-mail to the police and ask them for advice, explain you have autism, adhd and mental health problems and ask for their policy on dealing with sufferers.

    Using this forum is a fantastic start! I would definitely do as much research as you can online and be careful obviously using any online communities. try and find charities or organisations that can help with practical support. Speak to your gp and ask if social care could provide any advice or practical assistance. 

    For my mental health I find exercise, even at home or a walk with headphones on helps. I make a list of at least 3 things I want to achieve that day and complete them. Even if it's just tidying a bedroom!

    I hope you start to feel better soon

    I'm trying to get support workers through direct payments. The social worker I have said I'm eligible after an assessment. But the delays are really difficult. It could have started mid-December, I've been waiting since then after an organisation pulled out and said it didn't have enough staff. Now in the third week of this month I'll be meeting the social worker to talk about setting up direct payments.

    Just wonder how long it will all take. How much paperwork there will be, and how many more meetings will be needed. Ads will have to be placed to try to find support workers, people have to be interviewed. All takes time. And I wonder if by then they will pull the rug out on me and say I can't have it anymore, whether they're just stringing me along and taking me for a fool. 

    Thank you for your suggestions

    Also remember you never give money, anyone who is a true friend would not ask for money, or for you to do anything dangerous. Use your instincts, if a request or situation doesn't feel right it probably isn't.
