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

@The-red-centaur it doesn't seem fair that they are giving you such short notice and not even time to gather information. I wonder if there is any way of getting the time extended to allow you to get things organised?

Totally get why you would be anxious and overthinking everything. I'm here with you ❤️

Re: Red's house

I feel so tired. I was in hospital all week with med changes. I get home today to be told I need to move house or the ndia will stop all my funding. I'm too tired to even care. My life just isn't worth fighting for.

Re: Red's house

I'm so sorry to hear @The-red-centaur, you've been needing to do so much moving recently. Needing you to move again sounds ridiculous! I'm sorry you're being put through this stress right now, is there any way you can argue against this?

Re: Red's house

hey @The-red-centaur i'm so sorry to hear this. i can't imagine the physical and emotional exhaustion you feel, the timing of all this is absolutely awful.

i wish there was more i could do to help. i'm here to listen and sit with you. you are worth fighting for, but it's okay to take a break from 'fight mode' to just vent/cry/scream/stare at the wall, etc. i know you have the strength to overcome this, you're so strong and resilient. still wish you didn't have to deal with this. sitting with you 💙

Hi @The-red-centaur I’m sorry I don’t know anything about the NDIS, but from an outsider it seems ridiculous that you have to move house to continue your funding. How is that

so?

However, I think your life is worth fighting for, regardless of obstacles that seem to be put in your way.

I feel tired reading your story, so can only imagine how you must feel.

Have they given you a time line for the move? Surely your team can apply for an extension given you’ve just been in hospital.

Re: Red's house

I feel stressed. Today was a public holiday. I'm supposed to have multiple meetings/appointments tomorrow to figure out a way forward with my ndis team.

What is stressing me the most is a gp appointment in the morning.

Im sick, again, and I'm so exhausted. I can't function. I have developed a pretty bad tremor and involuntary movements. I can't think straight i feel so exhausted and foggy. I don't know how to make my gp that something is wrong. I'm scared. The shakes are making writing harder and people are pointing out I'm not doing things anymore. I'm too tired to care about keeping commitments.

The thing is, I dont even have the strength to care how my life is turning upside down. I'm probably going to have move to the other side of perth, change mental health care, physicians. I'm going to have to move into a house with other participants that I don't know. I'll be getting less support all round.

My life just isn't worth it. I get it. Right now I'm just waiting for the clock to move enough so I can take my meds and sleep. I'm sick of being in pain. I'm sick of being sick. I just need to sleep.

Re: Red's house

@The-red-centaur i hear you. and i'm so sorry you have to experience all this.

i really hope the GP appointment and NDIS meeting goes okay tomorrow, fingers crossed they can offer you some more support and alternatives to moving so far. in case things don't go in your favour, know that its not a reflection of your worth. and if there's anyone who's resilient and capable of surviving big changes, it's you. i wish you weren't forced into such situations, but i know you're capable of overcoming those obstacles.

your life is worth it. you ARE WORTH FIGHTING FOR. i'm so sorry that you feel defeated and exhausted, and you have every right to feel that way. but there is still hope. i still have hope for you. sending you gentle hugs, love and energy 💙

Re: Red's house

@rav3n thank you.

I made new a thread to express a few things.

Tbh I'm scared. I don't how to do this rn.

I used to have a body that contined despite my mind. Now my body has been failing too.

I am thinking I don't want answers, ignorance is bliss right?

In response to: Re: Red's house

Re: Red's house

No answers just more investigations. I guess it's better than nothing.

Part of me wants support and comfort. Part of me want to talk to my family. That is the worst thing because I know they will make things worse. I wish I had family that cared, or anyone for that matter. I wish I had someone on my side next to me, telling me it's going to be OK. I want a break and let someone else deal with the big decisions, I wish I at least could get an advocate for some of this stuff. But I'm too tired to try to find an organisation or provider willing to help.

I'm scared for myself and my future. When I started having hope and dream for my life and actually wanted a future things outside of my control is jeopardising all the things I fought for. I can't keep doing it. I wish I just didn't about myself again, because like what's the point, coz when I started caring about my life it was taken away.

Re: Red's house

hey @The-red-centaur just read on the other thread that your ndis meeting got pushed to tomorrow, fingers crossed it goes well. i imagine today's gp apt must've been exhausting to attend, glad you got some rest afterwards.

it's okay to want support and want to talk to your family. nobody wants to be alone, and sometimes we'd rather bad company than no company at all, even if we know its going to end in pain. i know that your forums family is a bit limited in being able to sit next to you in real life, but we still sit with you virtually and care for you deeply. i care.

i know you're scared and tired, but there's still a solid chance for things to change for the better. it's okay if you want to breakdown in tears, scream, rant, etc. even i want to scream for you because you did not deserve to deal with all this.

is there anything that's been helping you feel a lil better? have you been able to paint/draw a bit recently?
