Red's house

Red's house

Hi, I haven't been here consistently for a little while. Shutting myself off felt safer. I was formed after being suicidal last month. I needed to remove myself from online worlds for my safety and that of others. I'm doing better now, I'm just stressed out.

I enrolled myself to full time study at tafe in a few weeks. Getting that all done pushed me to my limits. But im looking forward. I have dreams. I have hopes. I have desires.

I want to pursue my business and my art talents. I will be doing a cert iv in business to give myself the skills to thrive in this. I want to have a future, which is great but scary. It gives the opportunity for failure. But also success. I got this.

Breathe, Red, breathe, create you're safe place. This thread I'll be hanging out more and try not to be too down or hard for myself. If anyone wants to hang out at my place they are always welcome.

There's always tea and coffee, with biscuits if desired. In this winter the fire is on and we can Chillax

You are right @The-red-centaur . And I think the more we go on, the more we realise that our lives are not perfect, yet resilience helps us push on.

Keep going my friend.

Re: Red's house

Ive been trying to focus on a few ofline things lately.

Today has been hard. I usually go out with friends in Saturdays. But I woke sick and in bad pain.

Im tired of my body failing me. I'm sick of being in pain. My joints are severely swollen, it hurts to move or walk or even this texting hurts coz my hands aren't working properly.

Im tired. It's been a long day. I just want to rest. I can't tho. My mind feels sluggish, my eyes are heavy, but my body won't surrender to sleep. Pain is exhausting and I'm already tired.

I developed an ear infection and bad tonsillitis over the weekend. I'm so tired.

@The-red-centaur oh that's horrible to deal with both of those things especially at the same time. How are you feeling?

@Former-Member i heard today the ndia want to do a plan review and cut a lot of my funding. I've been waiting on a plan review for over a year to get extra things included in my plan. I might lose my accommodation. I'm scared.

Re: Red's house

I am too sick to really push back at the ndia if things have to change. They already moved me last year, it's not out of their abilities to do it again.

They want reports in by Monday to prove i need the supports, and they are saying the documentation i submitted over 12 months ago for the review I never got are outdated.

I am sick, I am tired. I just want to sleep for a very very long time.

Re: Red's house

Oh @The-red-centaur . That sounds so stressful and definitely not what you need right now. Have you got someone to help you with getting the information that they need? I'm not too sure how the system works as I'm still yet to even lodge my paperwork, so I'm not very helpful there.

But I can be here to listen and chat to you. I can imagine you'd be feeling so drained already without this being something else to worry about.

Sending you lots of love and strength ❤️

Re: Red's house

@Former-Member i got a new specialist support coordinator this week. I only spoke to her briefly today. This was all news to both me and her. If we had a few weeks my team could do new reports, but it's impossible to do anything in a few days, let alone on a weekend.

I won't even been included in the plan review, which is equally frustrating because I have things that I need addressed, I haven't had a formal planning meeting since joining ndis some 3 years ago. My life is massively different now since then.

And yeh, im drained. But I'm anxious and overthinking. I can't sleep.
