Council Housing and wellbeing.

Lost0ne87

I have to be honest I'm completely anxiety ridden and I am at loss in what to do. I am very worried and depressed and my meds not working.

I lived in a flat but I felt very isolated and lonely and moved back in with my mum and dad just over a year but my dad is a alcoholic. He can get very verbally abusive at times.

I would like to move in a suitable council flat as I am very vulnerable. I was told by my social worker that I was not peroity as I'm a single male under 50. I feel like no one is taking me seriously and I'm so lost.

I live in South Wales on band 2 told they can't put me into 1 as I'm not that bad yet. It's a waiting list and not a bidding one.

I feel very upset and on a verge of being S***** can I do anything to speed up the process? They could not tell my social worker how long I have to wait. Can I not look myself?

I'm so lost here and I'm not sure what to do. Just want to have a nice place of my own be happy and comfortable.

  • Hello. It's so important to have someone to talk to about what you're going through. have you considered reaching out to MIND? They may be able to help you cope with your anxiety and depression while you are waiting for a council flat. Prioritise your mental health above all things because, no matter where you live, your mind always goes with you. If your mental health isn't in a good place, no flat or house will ever feel like the right fit. Here's a link to Caerphilly MIND. http://www.caerphillymind.co.uk
