Fed up & low

[Toastandchocolate]

I’m fed up of falling through the cracks of various services. They each refer me to the other.

I’m away from the abuse. But I’ve received no help.

I’m exhausted. I have multiple health conditions. Each day is a struggle. A fight to survive. How long can I live like this?

I’m so sorry to hear how things are for you . You must be feeling really fed up if you are not getting the support you require.  I’m also sorry to hear that you have multiple health issues to contend with too . My heart goes out to you . I wish you wasn’t experiencing what you are . Being pushed around from pillar to post can really drag a person down. Have your local womens aid been of any help? . Are you able to speak to the National womens aid helpline at all ? I really hope you can find that much deserved help you need.  A GP maybe .  I’m glad you got out though I really am . I was going to talk to my GP about stuff but I backed out very quickly.  I told them I wasn’t ready to pursue anything.  What they did say is they could contact Social services?????? . Just a thought.  Please take care of yourself.  Best

Thank you for your reply.

I’m sorry you didn’t feel able to speak to your GP. Though I’m not surprised. It’s not easy.

I have a GP appointment coming up. Maybe it will help, I’m not sure. Social services won’t help whilst I’m homeless.

Women’s aid gave me numbers for refuges, but I can’t find any that will take me because of my disabilities. I can’t be too specific about it. I’m just being let down by many organisations.

I guess time will tell if things will improve.

Your very welcome.  I just needed a bit more time to think things through.  I didn’t want to be like a bull in a China shop so I left it and didn’t pursue anything.  I’m glad you have an amazing with GP . I really hope that goes well for you I really really do .  I hope the GP can put you in touch with services that can support you through this difficult time . My heart goes out to you . Having disabilities must be very hard for you too . I really feel for you .   I’ve heard lots of people’s life situations where they are let down so much by organisations it’s just not good enough.  I really do hope the GP is understanding and caring and gives you that well needed support.  Best wishes always ❤️

Thank you. I think GP was helpful. Will have to wait and see what happens next.

I really do hope the GP  helps  I really do . I wish you so much luck . Sending kind blessings.  Keep in touch. Take care 🙂

I’m feeling fed up and low at the moment too .

I’m sorry you’re also feeling fed up and low.

Sending you a virtual hug if that feels OK, and warm wishes.

I’ve been doing some drawing today. It’s helping a little.

[Stargazing1]

Thank you so much for your kindness it’s been a great deal 😊.  I appreciate the virtual hug thanks.  Nice to hear you have been drawing it is a good distraction.  Have you drawn anything in particular? .  Good for you for getting on with something that’s brilliant.  Nice one 👍.  Best wishes 👍.  Take care 🙂

Mainly mindfulness drawings, like repetitive circles, flowers, squiggles, lines, colouring in. Lots of colours! So therapeutic. Then writing words that comes to mind like ” why didn’t I know”. “They don’t believe me”. I’m just finding ways to get things out I guess.

[Stargazing1]

So glad you have found solace in your art . Lots of colour sounds lovely.  What you are doing with your art work sounds an idea a lot of us here could do . It really sounds like a good type of therapy . I wish you all the best with this continuing ❤️.  I wish you for brighter days ahead ✨️. My heart goes out to you now and always ❤️.  Hope you are still going ahead with an appointment with a GP .  Let me know how everything goes please. Take care of yourself and please be kind to yourself too ✨️.

GP said they going to contact social services, but I’ve not heard anything more. So I don’t know if anything has happened.

I have a DA support worker now, so I will ask her to help me chase this.

Hope you are doing OK.

Hi @Toastandchocolate ,  glad the GP is going to contact Social services for you .  I hope you don’t have too long too wait .  Being in your position hopefully it will be quick . Fingers crossed.  Also I’m glad to hear you have a DA support worker too . I really do wish for better and brighter days ahead for you.  Glad you saw the GP I really am.  Sending gentle hugs your way .
