Struggling

Chris

Hi 

Recently, during a phone call, a mental health worker suddenly started using a lot more metaphorical language than they normally do. I have spoken to this person before and has never used this much language, I have told him I have autism and I have spoke to him 5 times in the past trying to reach out, I have told him previous about people taken advantage of me before by overwhelming me with indirect language and lies and I become vulnerable, which is why I have been reaching out for support, this is why he has done this on purpose as I was reaching out because people had control over me and he understood that and done the same back this is bullying, and to get away with it all he is now saying it is just there language he uses, I have since rang back the service and now he lied to them saying it’s because I have autism and they can’t work with me because of the language barrier, I understand some indirect language as it’s not hard to match it but the way this person done it was to get a reaction out of me this is leaving me unable to cope as I have no friends or family and this was meant to be my support to help me develop correctly but it’s getting harder and harder the more I ask for help, all my hope has gone and don’t feel safe with anyone anymore 

has anyone else been manipulated by services who are meant to listen and help because they CANNOT get away with this disgusting behaviour

  • I remember a community mental health worker came to my house once and advised me not to say I could hear voices. I realised now the loneliness and isolation, and years of neglect and abuse in relationships and the workplace had caused me to become depressed. Now I know some of these things were my autism, it was only posible to see this over a much longer period. But I would say the big things I sorted out myself and didn;t wait for the right meds or gp to turn up.
