Hi @samt31

How did you go with the inspection? Hope it went ok after all the hard work 😞

Is there anything that will help reduce soem of your stress at the moment? Hopefully having the inspection out of the way will help a little bit?

Hi @Former-Member it was horrible wasn't up to her standards again. She added more stress thank goodness the landlord wasn't present that would have made it worse. Iam really scared if we move out that she will gives us a bad report and we can't get anything else. Stressing heaps now. My case manager does not come back till February and he is my main person I talk to about my stresses.

Do you think he could ring the picky property manager ? I never met such a picky person

aghhhh! sorry to hear the real estate agent wasnt happy 😞 garrrr...

yes, might be a good idea to have an advocate help you with it. Perhaps they could write a letter with you and both sign it? Things on paper sometimes help to formalise things. I have had my support worker help me with many things like this... so im sure there is someway to work on it together.

How are you going today?

Hi @Former-Member!

iam really good today and been playing my game up to now. It's working Iam less stressed and my voices are much better. Did not sleep very good the night before.

i was just hoping he could call them and explain i dont know. she wants a mat under the computer chair for some reason. need to stay positive.

it turns out iam in lucky the lady that does our inspections isn't our property manager iam so happy! now going to see if my case manager when he returns from leave can help me with the agent.

update this week has been really hard on me..my brother has been screaming in my head to my sister in law. last Sunday night i didn't sleep my partner had to drive me to get my injection the next day. then at around 9 PM i went to emergency as my symptoms were worse. they gave me sleeping tabs to sleep. took the next day off work and then the next day i worked i was really anxious.again the voice in my head was strong. i almost went to hospital again on Thursday night but my brother said i could stay with him so i did that. now I am feeling much better and tomorrow i will call my case manager i might need my meds reviewed again.

i know when i get the strong voice its a sign that something isn't right..now that my nephew isn't moving in with us, i do feel little relieved. but he welcome to stay with us when he visits his girlfriend. my brother reacon that was what triggered the relaspe.

Hi @samt31

Its terribly invasive when our own mental space is overtaken. Glad your partner could help a bit.

it sounds as if you have a reasonable relationship with your brother and some of the voice issue is almost like you are loyal to him and taking his side in life, but its taking up more space in your head than it should ....

I have been lucky and not had to worry about picky real estate ladies but my young neighbours often tell me about it.

Just saying hello ... dont think we have met before

hi @Appleblossom i have seen some of your posts but its to finally talk to you on here.

i will miss my brother as starts a new life interstate 6-7 hours away but they are coming up for school holidays so think i will see him and his family then. my partner has been really good too so not much say there.

we were really lucky last year with our old house and now we are putting up with a person that is picky. iam hoping that we can get our own property manager to do the inspections but doubt it.

hello and it nice to meet you

Hi @samt31

Its good things havent been too bad ...

My brother lives interstate and overseas ... but I still have a fair bit of contact ... When we would see each other it would be for an overnight, weekend or longer .. on a holiday etc ... so it can actually work out as a reasonable way to get together.

I havent had voices per se

but a lot of trouble with an over busy head .. my way of coping is mainly to thrust more at it ... like learning and music ... and spend a lot of time in calming activities too ... but still need to process stuff .. and it can be tricky driving on freeways if my concentration lapses too much.

Hope you get a lot out of the forums ...there are some great people here.
