Anyone started with the NDIS?

Oh 😢 @eth I’m so sorry to hear that. I can’t believe how it’s come to this. It seems so ridiculous that the organisation that is set up to help NDIA/S is causing you so much harm and making everything worse. I can’t believe they can do this, it seems so wrong. You haven’t committed a crime, not even fraud.

Just a thought though that maybe your psychologist is afraid of being corralled too and unintentionally saying something that might make it worse for you. I’m sure they don’t want to that to happen for you or them.

Thinking of you and feeling so much for you just now.

💜🤗

Thanks @Teej @CheerBear I just feel like curling up in a ball today.

@eth Darling eth will be watching over you during this process. It is all bullying tactics of which I am not surprised. Have faith, be strong you will be okay. You are a survivor.

Hi @eth, sending big hugs.

They are pulling out all the stops, so brutal towards people who are vulnerable.

I often feel afraid of the kind of thing that you describe, which is the main reason I don't tell my GP, psychiatrist or psychologist everything about my life. Most things but not all. I wish I could tell them everything. It would be more therapeutic. But, because our privacy with them runs a risk of being dragged into the open, as is happening with you, I hold back on some things. I also saw this happening in the family court, where I worked as a court officer temporarily for some months many years ago. Vulnerable people being badly mistreated, even humiliated. It makes me deeply angry on your behalf.

But that may not be of much help to you. I'm having another feral, collapsed kind of day here on the computer. It's relaxing though to let go of everything for a while sometimes. Soft fabrics, self nurturing, curling up in a ball. All valid responses I feel.

Hugs again, and love, and hoping you still win out over the b*stards anyway. ox

Go Gently though this journey. @eth

Hi @Mazarita @Appleblossom @CheerBear @Bunniekins @Teej thankyou all so much for your words of support and the beautiful butterfly Appleblossom. I feel more like the caterpillar in the crysalis! I did curl up most of yesterday but I'm not feeling much better this morning. Dreams of exes not helping. Quite a broken night. Had a good talk with sil over dinner and at least she said it's understandable to get down about all this, rather than pushing me to get out of the doldrums like often happens. Psychologist said just try to do one thing each day for the time being - I did two yesterday. Planted sweet peas where I can see them from the cabin and cooked a green veg curry for us all. It's still 3 weeks til the hearing, I hope I can find my fighting spirit before then.

PS It's really nice to see you again @Bunniekins xx

@eth

It took me a while to find the thread......Just further confirmation of head ...mind...focus...blech

this is not about me though..apologies in advance if my words do not convey my true meaning..

I am enraged..appalled...hurting..indignant and so much more..

you have done everything by the book..followed every procedure..process..

so please please do not allow this disgraceful treatment to become any part of who you are....

do not turn these feelings inward please..

do not allow this system to change in any shape or form..your perception of self..

you are still the strong..independent..reliable..compassionate Eth..

you are everything and so much more than "they" are..

Your beautiful soul must not be tainted by this failing of promised support..

nurture your inner feelings..tend to your pain and care for the inner strength...

you have been such a kindred spirit on the rave thread along with @Mazarita when I needed to step back...hide in the shadows ..find a safe place ..at the same time not feel abandoned..

thank you @eth for holding me up..

let us and so many who support you hold you now..

I hope that I have not said too much...I feel so much for your pain from the bottom of my heart...

I want to ensure that you feel safe at this time ...in the present...
