Anyone started with the NDIS?

@eth

Even getting started sounds hellishly confusing! I'm hoping you've got time to rest now, time to stop the head spinning in that particular circle for a little while

Love to you Eth

Thankyou @Former-Member you're a sweetheart.

If the past treatment reports are sought I'm concerned that all my moving around and hospitalizations in 3 different states, and lack of follow up treatment after them, and lack of continued contact with drs and therapists that weren't particularly helpful anyway, and 20+ years of adverse reactions to antidepressants, and not being diagnosed bipolar 1 until age 46 ...etc etc ..... will be a problem one way or another.

You are right, time to stop the head spinning and step away from it all for a while.

Thankyou very much to all who are supporting me here.

@eth, @Former-Member, just back from womens group.

I was glad to read that it was the lawyers who went back and forth, @eth, so that you didn't need to be questioned directly so much, as has previously happened. Also glad to hear you will be trying to give your head a rest from it for a little while. Sending love.

@eth

all the best..

good news that legal aid solicitor is so thorough and tenacious...

Thankyou very much @Mazarita and @Former-Member

I've rested and briefly napped and been out for a walk with my bro since my last post. But my brain is still pretty wired about it all. I got told by sil this morning that I am 'accretive' so I looked it up :

I have an NDIS meeting this coming Wednesday regarding my son. I am trying not to let it stress me out but have little faith in it so far. My son has been part of the NDIS now for nearly a year and nothing has changed for him ... although the centre who has him for day care say they will be able to allocate some money in his direction which will be great ... we shall see ...

I will try and remind myself to post it on your thred @eth if I forget just gie me a reminder 🙂

@eth

Having to deal with government departments and long-windedly processes can become overwhelming for a person without mental illness..

Your response is very helpful so certainly no need to apologise...

You have written it as an experience which again is invaluable for someone starting and or going through the process...

I can understand the overwhelming need to note everything...

I too am a note maker..

I have notebooks full of my research on schizophrenia as well as print outs..

perhaps this could be discussed with your advocate..some assistance with any paperwork..moving forward..

Rest and take care

Will be thinking of you on wednesday @Bunniekins

Hugs @eth

@Shaz51 Thanks Shaz51 I will probably need lots of good thoughts coming my way.

Adding some good thoughts and fingers crossed for your Wednesday appointment, @Bunniekins. May you have the best possible outcome for your son. oxo
