Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
Got a giggle out of changing into your good 'pjs' too @CheerBear. I hope your day is good. Sorry it's been such a rough ride @Mazarita for you lately 😔
@Former-Member Good morning
i also have a phams support worker. Mine is currently seeing me once a fortnight. This is my third one. My last one was just fabulous and helped me get my backside out of my house and exploring the huge park across the road amongst other things. I'm still having teething problems with my current one but hope that we can sort it out. I hope your appointment and day aren't too stressful.

That was through the community mental health team @Former-Member but I'm sure your phams worker could help you find classes like these. Since I gave up tafe I've been going back to mindfulness classes. I find them so helpful. Now I just need to practice it more during the week. It took 3 months to be allocated a Phams support worker @Former-Member and I know it varies where you are -supply and demand.
Best wishes 💜🤗💐

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
Good afternoon @Spookytookims. 👋
I had a phams support worker 3ish years ago for about 15 months who was great and what I needed at the time but was doing ok so I gave her up as I no longer needed that support. Last year I found myself needing that support again and it then it took 3 months to be allocated a new one. She was great and motivated me but also helped calm me a bit before the weekends which were my hardest time. The week of Christmas the organisation funding was changed and she was the one to be relocated to another area so I lost her. It took 3 weeks to get a replacement which was also over Christmas so tricky. She has had leave and been sick and I've been in hospital etc so we haven't seen each other but she is also stuck trying to work out what to do with me because of my diagnosis which is messing with me a bit as I'm not being treated as a person so much as she worries that she'll feed dependence which is making it really hard. I just needed help getting out of the house and doing things again. She also can't see me at the end of the week when I need it the most but I'll persist a bit longer. I like her but it's not really working well yet. I hope we can work it out. She does seem to have some flexibility in her thinking so I want to follow it through. I hope this long winded response answers your question. I get side tracked easily.
I hope your day is ok. Best wishes 💜🤗
Off to GP now. Catch ya later.

@Former-Member Thank you. Why does the timing of those things always come at the worst moments. Transferred right around Christmas, really bad period to lose that support. I do hope this new one works out for you, 3 months is a heck of a wait.

Hi @Former-Member, so glad to see you back! 
I and some others left messages on your thread after you left, not sure if you got them. Regardless, it is great that you decided to return. Looking forward to more of our chats here and there over time now! Hope your afternoon and evening bring some good moments.
