It's not bloody fair!

I hear you @utopia . So.. what can you do? Can I ask what your diagnosis is? They are saying bi polar.. but it sounds to me it's a form of PTSD those two can be mistakenly assessed because of how symptoms can present. Can you perhaps change practiioners and be reassessed? I don't know your story, I'm sorry, because you arrived before me and playing catch up is hard. But the glimpse you just wrote to me .. that is what could be something to consider if you haven't already?

@utopia .. ok .. you need to find someone who is going to bring it back to PTSD, if possible. No sign of PTSD? really? then how come I saw a sign of it? Food for thought right there.

Getting stuffed around by systems like this is the last thing anyone needs @utopia - especially someone who has suffered enough already. Sorry things are so hard and incredibly unfair. I hope you manage some restful sleep.

@utopia Does your phone record? I find if I go to important meeting or have important discussions like that, because of shonky memory, recording it is really helpful. Then I can make notes from the recording. Just an idea to throw out there.

yes @Former-Member it is certainly frustrating. No doubt about that one! The symptoms are frustrating enough, but when they aren't being assessed correctly, and they are being invalidated it's all magnified beyond belief. Very annoying and that feeling of helplessness and hopelessness that comes with it just exacerbates everything.

@utopia - So sorry to read of what happened to you. It's a good idea to let yourself rest and recover from this shock. But when you do feel better my friend seek further legal advice through any means you can. Local community centres etc can offer free legal assistance and advice. I would imagine they have to honour their mistake. Don't give up. We are here for you.

It's unbelievable @utopia, what people do (or don't do) in the name of Buisness profits, or to avoid financial losses. They put on their blinkers and refuse to see you, and their denial often works for them. It sucks.Can you get help from Centerlink, it's not much, but it's something. They have financial advisors to help with 'backed-up' bills, not to pay them, but plans and the likes.

Feeling for you

Laws often do protect the wrong interests, which is why social justice is pretty skew whiff.

It is also a big decision to decide to carry on appeal processes.

Lots of looking after you. A bit of research into best approach.

We will be here with you, whatever you decide, and however you feel.

@utopia Just like this rose - your heart is pure gold

Thinking of you my beautiful, sweet, caring friend
