I feel...

@Former-Member, please do rave long over in that thread, any time you wish. Plenty of raving rooms to go around.

@Queenie

So sorry that I detracted the subject of discussion away from you..

had shock and did not realise my post to you might have impacted on this..

am sorry if this is the c

It's okay @Former-Member. I wasn't able to get online yesterday as I was super busy (back to the everday stressors again). At respite, the care workers spend a lot of the time with the less functioning guests. Because I am viewed as high functioning, I am pretty much left to my own devices. I felt like I was imposing if I asked for assistance or support. I don't like to impose, so I just struggled alone.

A good example is I was to the largest shopping centre in the region alone. I got hopelessly lost and kind of freaked out. I managed to ask someone in a bank for the way to where I needed to be (I was on the verge of tears at this point). The worker wasn't all that worried/concerned when I turned up back at respite and told them what happened.

No need for apologies @Former-Member. You've said nothing wrong.

I feel really nervous forumites! My course (and pathway into Uni) starts tomorrow! I fell asleep so early last night and sleep right through to lunchtime. I can't do that tomorrow.

It will be a big week starting tomorrow....

Monday, Tuesday is my course.

Wednesday is housework

Thursday my support worker is coming in the morning and I am going to the movies that night.

Friday is a surprise party (that I found out about).

Saturday is homework day.

Sunday my Father is coming over to stir the pot some more.

I'm home from respite @outlander. My break from the stress was only for 5 nights. I saw my GP yesterday for review but as I was the last patient of the day, she rushed me without saying anything. I found out that while my application for NDIS is going smoothly so far, it is because I'm unlikely to receive anything. This means there will be no respite in the future (you must be an NDIS participant). This is disappointing really, all because I'm viewed as 'high functioning'.
