@outlanderits not snappy at all. Hopefully the psych can help hun. Will still be here

Re: when is it time for hospital

This iss an emergency @outlander

If your therapist can't get you somewhere tonight then try the Salvation Army - they have shelters - and tomorrow Centrelink and tell them this is an emergency - and I am sure your therapist and your doctor will back you on this

You are being abused emotionally and psychologically and not taken seriously - and I won't say anything more about your mother except this is the time when you really need her to take you seriously - if you can have a talk with your Pop - say you are still wanting to be his carer but you need some time out - maybe he can help you financially - who knows?

I'm around your pop's age - I would understand if you were my grand-daughter - give him a chance

One night I had to have emergency accommodation and the Salvation Army helped me for the night - not much fun but better than how things were at home - and it will be safe -

Tomorrow is the day to sort this out - and walking away or driving away in your car isn't running away - it's finding a safe place for this evening while it is still daylight - and you are making a point - you have had enough -

It's fantastic - amazing - you have lasted this long - and I am thinking of you constantly - I want you to be safe but are you safe where you are? That is an important question

I hear you saying you can't do this anymore and you can't confront anyone anymore -

I hope that you are on the phone right now and that your therapist can help - but I will sit here with my computer until you can get back - you have a great bunch of people here caring about you -

Take you time - no need to reply until you are ready

Glad your psych is calling at 6 and hope that it is helpful. I'm not sure that emergency housing would be possible in this situation but there are definitely options and as @Faith-and-Hope suggested centrelink can help you out, ask to speak to a social worker about your situation too as they can provide more options/link you in with the right services for your situation. There would probably be house sharing opportunities in your area, sharing with other people, like students, etc could be good for you maybe, even possibly develop new friendships and build connections.
If your pop is eligible for a carer there are probably other services that can support him as well, it doesnt all come down to you though it can be hard to let go of things because you care a lot. He can get support through in home care if its no longer available to him and is a requirement... would probably be something that he could talk to gp about and how to organise. It will take time but if you can hold onto the fact that you can make changes it might give you that bit more hope for the future.

Re: when is it time for hospital

Hi again @Former-Member

That's a good idea about house-sharing with students or other young people

Emergency housing and emergency accommodation are not the same - there is emergency accommodation available for urgent cases - I had such a reason and the salvos were great giving me and my daughter help that night - but it wasn't the long term answer at all

But this is the time when @outlander needs to be safe tonight - and Outlander - I just hope your psyche can help - it is an emergency - remember that - we have been with your for months now and know how this has been getting serious over time and for the last couple of weeks really bad - so -

Okay - it's up to you - but there will always be something to stop you from leaving - that's the way life is - and tonight - maybe you just need to make a point - and if this is enough - that's good

But between us we can find something - only you have to do the hard yards unless your therapist can help

All the best - still here and answer when you can and of course there is always short-stay hospital - I know you don't want that but it will give you some space

Re: when is it time for hospital

Hi everyone
I spoke with my psych.

Plan:
Use my safety plan for tonight unless of course im not safe then go to hospital.
Tomorrow morning try to get through to mum again if it doesnt happen then my psychs fetting involved and is going to talk to mum for me and then possibly a group session as in myself mum and my psych.
My psych knows so i only have to send her a msg and ahe will call me when shes avaliable.

I dont know how well this is going to work. I can already tell the fallouts going to be bad. I can feel it and my psych knows i feel that way.


This isnt a case of emergency housing so not help that way. Going to see if i can still get a hotel for the next few nights. I dont know if that's wise ir not.

I dont know what else i can do. Im stuck in this shite situation.

So tomorrow morning will be trying again. If i ca manage it and is this state i dont think i will but maybe she needs to see this distress to open her eyes.
