Life and trauma

@Former-Member

You got yourself through last night so that IS something to be proud of! Yes, it would have been incredibly difficult, but in a perfect world, it would never be that difficult, you would have far more help and support. So if there's failure, it isn't yours.

The day will be done after a few hours so get done what you can and as well as you can and worry about the rest later.

Thanks @MJG017. First phone call at 9am will be ringing to try and get the Ndis application submitted seeing as though I can't add anything more to it.

@Former-Member

Good luck with the call at 9am. Hopefully it all goes relatively simply and it will allow you to get some real support. I'll keep some fingers and toes crossed for you.

Thanks @MJG017 ❤️.

@MJG017 I've made 4 phone calls and every single one of them I've had to leave a message for someone to call me back. I hate not being in control and having to wait for people to call back cos for me it usually never happens and then I feel bad for having to ring them again and I feel like I'm being pesky and annoying.

So now I'm on edge and i can't even ring anyone to chat cos I need to keep my phone line open in case someone rings me.

@Former-Member

Ahhhh.. I hate that! You go through all the anxiety of making a call and nothing is resolved but now all you can do is wait and hope they call back... Which they usually don't and the whole process starts again! Why do we feel like we're being pesky and annoying when we're just trying to ask someone to do their job?!

It can put you whole day on hold while waiting. So annoying

@MJG017 it took so much strength to actually make those calls and leaving messages sends me into a panic cos I never know what to say. I feel like I'm being pesky and annoying the first time I ring let alone any other times I have to after that.

There's other things I need to do but I can't, I can't even think of everything right now.

@Former-Member

Like I said, just focus on one thing at a time, don't overwhelm yourself more than necessary. Try to relax and maybe some colouring while waiting for the call back. You've done everything you can, now it's up to them to get back to you. So just try to take it easy and not stress too much. I like to mutter to myself, cursing them for making me wait. It just makes me feel better.

@MJG017 I'm trying to colour.

I've already done my fair share of muttering alot of curse words when they didn't answer.

@MJG017 i found the courage to ring rent right sa again and as expected there's nothing that can be done. It's all starting to hit hard 😞.
