When you go from being a very presentable gentleman to being ugly and disfigured all because of a prescription from a GP (DUAC gel containing benzolyl peroxide) causes your skin to chronically peel making it look like you have been facially burnt which means noone will even look at you. From extended family members to social workers to NAS support workers. One year you are happy and you smile and people and they smile back. Next you know people including social workers are talking to you while staring at your carpet all because your face looks like it has been burnt.
This is really upsetting me. This has caused me to be prescribed an anti-psychotic I did not need (risperidone) which caused me horrific side-effects which led me into a horrible pscyh. ward. Now almost noone will look at me including professionals. And I notice some people are not able to look at me without hesitation and rapid-blinking their eyes first.
This prescription has ruined my life. My face looks burnt and disfigured. People won't look at me. And that includes my NAS support workers. There is noone for me to smile at anymore. I have already been on horrible powerful medication I don't need and been in a horrible psych ward because of all this.
And social work is a problem. What are my rights here? If my social worker will not look at me and stare at my carpet during my appointment do I have a right to complain? Or should I just put up with it because my face looks burnt? What are my rights? This has ruined my life and is really really upsetting me and I don't know who to turn to for support.
So, if I have a visit from a social worker who stares at the carpet the entire visit and doesn't look at me once. What are my rights? Do I have a right to complain? Because I can assure you it is utterly horrible to talk to someone who stares at the ground the entire time they speak to you. It seems so rude, disprespectful and unfriendly. I f*****g deserve better.
I have a degree in computer science and I got top mark for A-level 6th form maths. I am not an idiot. Yet I am treated like an idiot by *** all because I have my face looks burnt. What are my rights? Do I have to put up with being treated like an idiot by *** employees all because of what I look like? I CAN SPEAK FOR MYSELF. I HAVE MY OWN MIND. SOCIAL WORKERS DO NOT KNOW ME BETTER THAN I DO.
Please tell me what my rights are here. I am in excellent mental health and very intelligent but I am not being treated with the respect I deserve by *** l and by NAS. Who do I have to complain to so I will be listened to and respected??
