Support/social services taking the [****].

Dexter

is this just happening to me or is anyone else feeling the same. They laugh in my face. I've tried a lot this week and many other weeks (support workers mostly as I've lost the faith in social services a long time ago), and they've just laughed at me down the phone or not picked the phone up. I've put messages on the answer machine (not very nice ones as well). To be honest, I've had enough and I just want it to stop. I am going to self harm if it doesn't get any better cos I've had enough (34 years is long enough, and enough is enough).

If you need to BAN me from this as well i wont understand but i will understand as I've had this a lot.

I'm weird and i know I'm weird.

  • Hi Dexter

    Nobody is going to ban you from this forum, we all understand your pain.

    You deserve respect - you are not weird. You said that you were 20 minutes early for your appointment, which shows you are well organized and courteous, qualities which many NTs do not possess.

    Thankfully I have had little contact with social workers but I don't hold them in very high esteem.

    I really don't know how to help you out of his awful loop, the only thing I can suggest is to call the NAS helpline.

    Take care

    Dexter, I suspect it's too much of an ask but why not put in a formal complaint about the support worker.If not for you, them for other people who he will bully.

    I know being a channel for a complaint is hard going.

    I'm not going to hurt myself , its just current social worker is a "tough guy" , who plays with my emotions yet when I lose it, he rings the police. I've had more than enough social workers and they've all "messed" me up in someway. I've got too much of there "thoughts/words" overpowering my mind and I can't think and then it leads to screams etc. I was meant to have an appointment today (Friday). I got the there at 11:40am (20 minutes before). The receptionist says the wellbeing lady was in with another person and she wouldn't be long . Well, its after 12pm and the receptionist calls the wellbeing lady....guess what , she's off poorly today. Well, this fuc kayed my day up......I'm going round and round in circles and not getting anywhere, probablys like most people on this forum.

  • Please don't hurt yourself Dexter, have you tried calling the Samaritans or some other helpline. It might make you feel a little better if you can talk to someone who will listen to you.  I'm afraid that is all I have as I'm no authority on any of this, but sorry you are having such a rotten time.
