Re: catching up
Hey Jacques.
In finding it so difficult going from the structure of hospital to the reality of the outside world .
I'm struggling.
Im sorry you aren't feeling so great you need to look after yourself and not worry about me.
I checked at centrelink I have too many assets to get any sort of pension. Im just going to have to live off my savings.
Definitely not what I expected.
Feeling very sorry for myself.
please take care

Re: catching up
Hey there Karen - Centrelink are hard work - it took me ages to prove I wasn't working anymore and couldn't work for them to start payments then they gave me so little to live on because I was supposed to be receiving child support! I know they also wouldn't let me have access to a thing until if used up all my savings too - which was hard 😞 as since then I've felt really vulnerable of anything happening - have nothing to fall back on! Sigh!

Re: catching up
My angel that is so unfair, they do like making the vulnerable more so, it is like they hate the poor, i have never liked dealing with them, i am so sorry i can't help Karen, i feel like i have let you down.
I know how hard all this must be on you, and i do know you are struggling, i can see it in your writing and how quiet you are.
Karen you are my best friend, i will always worry about you, i worry about you every day and night, i am so scared you are going to leave me.
Karen, please, if you want to talk, i am here. I often say now that centerlink is only for the wealthy who can hide their money, i know a a few multi millionairs who have accountants managing their money and they are elligable for the pension, it is such the wrong way around.

Re: catching up
The process sucks.
Tomorrow is a new day . And I have so much to deal with I think I might just sit buy the river

Re: catching up
Yes my angel, you are right, it does suck, i am waiting for my pay to be discontinued, i live in fear every day over it, i know it is only a matter of time, only 1 year to go until i have to be reassessed.
Tomorrow is a new day, and i am proud you are seeing it as such. Good girl, i am so glad you will have some time out, i am so sorry i can't be their to help you, you deserve so much better from society Karen, you have been failed by society for so long, i just wish i could help you carry the world that is on your shoulders.

Re: catching up
I was wondering how long it was until you get reassessed.
There must be a way to get you to that appointment

Re: catching up
i have been prepairing from the day i was lucky enough to get centrelink benifits to get mum's house up to a livable standard for when it gets discontinued, i know the way things are going it is only a matter of time, i just want mum to be comfortable, not to have ot shower out of buckets, and to be comfortable. i know they will dicontinue it because under the new rules you need to see a phychiatrist, and i have never seen one, and i don't have a doctor anymore.
It is ok though mum and i have been planning for when it gets discontinued. back to the simple life again.
i am so tired of having to justify that i have a MI, family, mum's friends, centrelink, it is so exhausting,
I hope you are going to manage Karen, i really worry about you, i know things are moving too fast and you have so many responsibilities, i don't have any and i am stressed, i can only imagine how you are coping.
