@AuntGlow  Hello lovely how are you? What’s been happening? 

Yes I do try to sit with my feelings. It doesn’t seem to provide any relief. I’m really worried about my future and worried I’ll never get better. 😞 I’ve tried a lot of things with no success.

@PeppyPatti  Hello lovely how are you? I’m hoping you are well. 

I can understand feeling anxious with the support worker situation. It is important the worker can focus on you during your time together. It’s also ok to cancel the day before. You shouldn’t be put under pressure to cancel on the day. Also if you give adequate notice it means you’re not spending funds on not getting the service. Our funds are limited so not having to pay when you can’t do the shift is OK.

Hi @Cuddlebear 🥰

So much going on over here, trying to balance everything I am doing, feeling, processing - trust is the theme in my house at the moment. 

What about you?

And I understand. Sometimes sitting with the feeling can be too much... I do believe things will get better, but I know that it's easier for me to say this from the outside. 

What is the one thing you would like to see change the most right now? 💛

Dear  

I have no boundries and very quickly i got myself into a situation i couldnt get out of with the support worker. 

My support worker was working with someone who says 

I care. When i was your age, financially   its very tough and you can tell me anything and we can work it out together. So, my support worker is saying i have no problems and when i got really ill perhaps a month ago i realised i dealt with her wrong

[AuntGlow]

It sounds like your therapist is being really helpful and meeting you where you're at @PeppyPatti. 

How are things sitting with you tonight? 💛

Dear @AuntGlow 

I'm very vulnerable, and it's been tough accepting this. I went to see my oldest friend for the past two hours. She said that I need to let the support coordinator know everything that's been happening. I'm grateful that I've been able to cancel it almost as soon as it began, and I'm always blaming  myself. 

[AuntGlow]

Seeing your oldest friend whilst you are feeling this way must have felt so soothing @PeppyPatti. 

I know it's easy to blame oursleves, but you showed kindness and consideration to your support worker, and she took advantage of this... so you are well within your rights to set boundaries, escalate, and get the support you need and deserve. 💛

Dear @AuntGlow 

I need to come up with dates she bought her son, dates she Didnt turn up for work. This is going to be bit of work.......

Great how NDIS deals with this. 

But im just goong. To say she only bought her son a couple of times it helped me. But the situation became extremely overwhelming very quickly.  and it became too much very quickly 

[AuntGlow]

Gah, backdating and remembering a series of events is a lot of work, isn't it? Can your support coordinator help you with this at all? @PeppyPatti 

I hope that once this complaint is officially lodged, you will get a really wonderful and caring support worker who can be there for you fully - because you deserve that! 💛

[PeppyPatti]

Im thinking heaps about stuff.
