Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this

@Former-Member - I'm not too bad tonight hun. I'm hoping for a decent night's sleep, otherwise it'll be sleeping meds. I've had a busy, long day besides ballet. I scrubbed shower this morning, and I've washed 3 loads of sheets! 1 from changing my bed, and 2 more because my lovely (not) cat peed on them!

oh dear @Sans911, that is not nice of the Cat. Maybe it's getting you back for taking it to the vet! We all know how they love the vet!! I am glad you have had a good day (besides the cleaning!)

Yes @Former-Member not doing that great tbh. Too many convos happening too fast so went to bed early.

It can gake a while for it to het processed. I think it took around 4weeks for mine to get done. But while your waiting you shouldn't have to do job search and will still get paid

Thanks @outlander,I submitted it on the 6th,completed it yesterday,guess it is a waiting game.I think they would deduct the Newstart payments from the backpay on that date and exempted from jobsearch.Shouldve done it weeks ago and got it over with.

Just hope @outlander,I get a job somewhere,old mother isn't great this morning,.

I'm hanging in there by a thread @outlander,as long as I wrap myself in bubble wrap.I have started on iron tablets,realised that stupid iron infusion at the doctor's gave me a week of iron and that was it,wasn't worth weekend of side effects.Have to housecleaning a house this morning which I am worried about as my arms are heavy.

I think whilst you are struggling @outlander,you have done well for someone your age,as mental illness is tough,as well as the social stigma and consequences it brings.I just wish like you I had a tougher interior and exterior 😌

@Phoenix_Rising - you didn't respond to my conversation today. I was waiting rather impatiently. Hope we can continue tommorow. I'm intrigued.

Good morning @Sans911. I'm super sorry. I've gone back through my notifications and I can't figure out what conversation you are referring to. I responded to your post about being the expert on your own life here and I can't for the life of me remember any other conversation. Clearly I am a melted snowflakey banana head right now. Would you mind pointing me in the direction of the conversation? Otherwise I will just have to wander all across Forum Land calling your name.

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this

@Former-Member they will backpay you from the date you submitted the forms. So as of yesterday they will backpay you.
Call ur jobsearch provider and tell them your waiting on the carers to be approved.
I wouldnt worry about trying to find another job. Use the free time youll have to rest and do the things you like to do. Maybe you could start your gardening again?

Thanks but im really not doing that great. I barely kept myself safe yesterday. I had plans coming to mind and not ones ive tried before. My methods of copiny have changed to being active and getting out to hiding away and either sleeping or watching movies. The house is a mess i havent cleaned it for almost a week. The only time ive been moving and thats an hr or so a the second job and to turn the xmas lights on.
I have no appetitie so i dont have to move for that either.
Im over it all. I am struggling to live and survive and right now im to tired too. Im attempting to clean the house abit today and have to do one horse but thats all.

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this

I know it's hard @outlander, yesterday when I walked out of Centrelink I felt the reality that I hit rock bottom,the counseling was a joke with some idiot telling me it was going to be "ok",it's not.

Where I traveled to yesterday is where I moved and failed,regret it as I hate the people this town and have to go bush to feel safe.

@outlander,hate to think you are a version of me,hiding away because of learned experiences and the behaviour of other people,and the failings of the "help"process.

Just try @outlander,to take a drive somewhere to the gardens or beach,promise me to escape the confinement you are feeling.😶
