and all forumites here this Friday afternoon including those I’ve forgotten.
Thanks for the tag @Appleblossom and everyone who has replied to my post- very much appreciated! It’s so nice to know that people still care about me despite me not being around much lately due to my mental health issues.
@Shaz51 I hope you are having okay with the weather in Queensland. Sending positive thoughts to you and other forum members in Queensland.
Yesterday I called the local mental health triage team who was useless in that they said they had 20 more people to call and didn’t want to speak to my housemate because of this. They also told me I was taking my meds properly and to get my GP to prescribe sleeping tablets as that was my issue according to them which wasn’t true. Also, I had to be case managed to get into PARCS and as I wasn’t in a crisis, that wasn’t going to happen- new to me as this had never been the case at my old mental health service and PARCS had always worked for me in the past. My housemate called them today and got a totally different response as they listened to her and said they’d call later to discuss things further. This was all before emergency services came to my house as my housemate had a mental health issue and she’s now at the local hospital getting sorted out including getting her arm issue - a chronic condition that has been on for the past 3 months which has resulted in 2 bouts of sepsis in the past month requiring hospitalisation along with issues involving her diabetes. I just feel so forgotten about and unimportant as besides my housemate, no one is asking how I’m going and what I’m thinking or feeling. My sister hasn’t called me in over a month after I made a comment about notifying her manager about her poor treatment towards customers in her workplace during the heatwave that Victoria has been having - apparently she can turn the aircon off if she wants to get rid of annoying customers which I think is cruel. Don’t even get me started on what she thinks of homeless people - again, very cruel - but I’m not allowed to make any comments as she sees me as being below her since I don’t work. Anyway, I’m trying to deal with things as best I can despite having constant issues with poor sleep and other issues. I’ve got no other friends to call and I feel so alone, with the forum community being so valuable to me and very helpful and supportive to me. I’ve been knitting and working on a cross stitch project to pass the days and watching some tv shows on some streaming services so I’m trying to be productive. I’m not studying right now as I can’t really focus on academic work so I’m hoping to get back into that in July.
Thanks for reading this post.
Take care!
