Somethingā€™s not right

Re: not coping

@outlander that is a lot on your plate. It sounds like itā€™s been very hard for you. I know itā€™s exhausting to fight for yourself, I hope you do continue to do so, you deserve every bit of help. Sitting with you šŸ’–šŸ«‚

Re: not coping

Ach @outlander I am about to log off but just wanted to quickly pop in and send you this very big hug: šŸ«‚ 

Re: not coping

Oh no @outlander I wish I could drop over right now with a cuppa.

 

Do you want to chat? Iā€™m here to listen.

Re: not coping

Thank you @Jynx ā¤ļø

Re: not coping

Thank you @Eve7
Just stressed and I didnā€™t expect so many negative turns to making what was suppose to be the right decision. At this stage Iā€™ll be facing homelessness within a few months unless I can find somewhere to live.
I donā€™t have the pension anymore so everything is more expensive and I donā€™t have that income to fall back on now so some weeks Iā€™m working up to 70-80 hours to make ends meet with my car needing some repairs and rego and trying to pay market rent on the house Iā€™m in now which is triple what I was paying when pop was here.
I have to try and empty the house as quick as possible because I have medical stuff coming up in a few weeks and then a major surgery closer to Christmas which if I donā€™t have a house by then I wonā€™t be able to do so itā€™s very stressful atm.
Ndis also declined my application so I have no support at all because I canā€™t afford it now.
A lot of my unhealthy coping mechanisms are coming back as well but I guess it was bound to happen with excessive stress.
Iā€™m hoping to be asleep soon.
I finally caught up with the dishes a general tidy and my washing thatā€™s been piling up for like 3 weeks if not more now.
Have 3 appts tomorrow so will be out all day again so probably should go to bed soon

Re: not coping

I am sad to read this @outlander and it does seem really unfair after all you did for Pop and your family.

 

You must feel really alone and I wish I could be more help to you. Can you maybe talk regularly to someone at Sane?

 

Can you appeal the NDIS decision? Iā€™m pretty sure you can and if you find out what you needed to ā€œfixā€ in your application it might not be too hard to get the plan approved. You basically need lots of evidence showing your disability is ā€œlifelongā€.

 

Iā€™m falling asleep so Iā€™ll say good night and hope you get refreshing sleep.

 

Lots of love šŸ©µšŸ©µšŸ©µšŸ©µšŸ©µ

Re: not coping

Thank you @Eve7 yes Iā€™ve appealed the decision with a few more new letters as well so hopefully maybe this time.
I hope youā€™re able to get some sleep. I think Iā€™ll clean abit more and then go to bed.
