Losing my independence

It would be nice to meet up and have a shandy & some footy franks sometime, @The-red-centaur . Does SANE organise such things?

Hey @justanotherguy ,

@The-red-centaur , I'm sorry you have dislocated your shoulder. I hear how difficult it is for you right now. I hope there's someone you can reach out to to support you emotionally as I recognise it is not easy to lose your independence overnight.

Ohhh @The-red-centaur I did not realise you could not get same sex carers for personal stuff.

Sending positive vibes ... but digging deep myself atm. Watching The Change on SBS.

@tyme I spoke to my case coordinator about it. It helped a little.

@Appleblossom hope you're OK.

I'm transmasc/non-binary, they put me in a male house. I tried to speak to my company about the personal care but I never heard back. I'll follow it up this morning.

I'm anxious about the upcoming shower t hi is morning. I'm overthinking it. I don't even know which carer is on.

I also haven't slept again. I've barely slept since Wednesday. I finally got some pain relief yesterday, but it doesn't help too much.

I'm not looking for to the next two months of this.

Ohhhh no, @The-red-centaur ! My independence is so precious to me, so I really feel for you!

Am so sorry about your shoulder dislocating so many times now 😢

Sending wishes for you to be able to cope ❤️

My favourite carer got fired after not doing an incident report about a fall.

He was the only one I felt comfortable in helping with person care.

On a side note. I keep having falls. The company is getting anxious. I dislocated my shoulder again. And it's really hard to manage everything. My Dr says I'm having an acute pain reaction, hence the dizziness and the falls. Which makes it all hurt more lol.

Ah fml
