Losing the will to live

Roswell

I'm bipolar,  Autistic,  ADHD and am physically weak.

A social worker gave me 14 hours a week care. I cannot find a suitable care worker.

I have virtually no one to talk to and am severely lonely and scared every day.

    There are two options. Direct Payments where you have to find one yourself or going with a care agency. I've been told by people a care agency is not the best for an Autistic person usually because they rotate staff or introduce new ones without warning, so there wouldn't necessarily be control over which staff they send - some might not be ones I could feel comfortable with.
