NDIS stress is it worth it

NDIS stress is it worth it

I have a really great support worker now from PIR helping me to apply for the NDIS-

i still don't understand what it even is no matter how much she tries to explain it to me.

She had obtained my medical records from the hospital psychiatrist & I wanted to take a copy home myself to keep & read - she printed me off a copy & I started flipping through pages- there was a lot there it went years back-

then she suddenly snatched it off me & said I should not Take it home to read- I must have had a worried look on my face-

i understand why she did this, she was trying to look out for me & not re traumatise me. But-

i feel sooooooooooo uncomfortable with her including papers from my medical records- when I don't even know what they say!!!!

I feel sooooooooooooo uncomfortable with applying for this thing when I don't even understand what it is!

i am sooooooooooo paranoid & I don't trust anyone from past abuse & trauma- like not a single Person-when your entire family has abused you & ganged up on you your entire life , in every way , shape & form-even trying to have me falsely arrested- when I was physically assaulted by my mothers narcissitic husband- he called the police & said I assaulted him- I didn't- & my teenage son told the police officer it was my fault, when he didn't even see the assault on myself happen-which would have led to my two year old daughter going into care as she had no-one to care for her if that happened- it didn't happen I didn't get arrested-because I did nothing wrong-

I really don't think I can go through with this- but I don't feel I have another option-

my quality of life is so shiz I'd rather just not even bother with it anymore-&

I am trying the best I can for my child but the agoraphobia is taking over my life along with the C- PTSD - I am scared my daughters going to be taken away from me if I admit to how bad I have gotten- I am not abusive or neglectful- I just can't leave the freaking house, do anything & am constantly in tears-

since my Narcissitic mother died 3years ago-who was pretending to "help " me with my agoraphobia & anxiety- but was really -( I didn't realise)-abusing me, enabling me& controlling every single solitary aspect of my life - it has really hit me last year & been going downhill till now -I have no life skills & cannot cope.

-I am meant to be looking for a new rental property because can't afford this one but I cannot because of the agoraphobia-so I am literally physically stuck in this house that is negatively impacting my mental wellness- but I can't get out of this house literally-

- am meant to go to dentist desperatly needed but can't because of the agoraphobia- am meant to go to physiotherapist for severe neck pain that has had me immobile for 3 weeks crying in pain because painkillers are not working but I can't because of agoraphobia-

- meant to vote- but can't due to agoraphobia-

the list goes on & on- thank God I can get daughter to school & play dates but that's about it!!- she is my security blanket-

literally couldn't leave the house from Friday when I picked my daughter up from school- all weekend last weekend till Monday when I dropped her at school again cause was triggered from Mother's Day-

- I can't live like this anymore- but don't think I have the strength to go through with this NDIS thing- I think it's going to give me a breakdown- IV been reading some of the posts on here & it seems like a huge hard fight that most likely will come out with nothing- I don't think I have it in me

@eth wow!!! You are so lucky to have such an amazing brother & sister in law- that is so cool & nice of them! I can't get over that! 😍
Yes- after reading your last post to me I immediately emailed the support worker & told her "DO NOT SEND IN THE FORMS UNTIL I HAVE SEEN THEM & I want copies of everything that is being sent in & all my medical files she has of mine"-- you are absolutely right & if you hadn't have said that to me I would not have had the courage to say that to her- because of all my abuse & trauma- I feel I don't have any rights & would never have ever thought to ask that- even though it was giving me the most massive anxiety ever- not knowing what was being included & said & sent off- so Thankyou soo much for your advice & support- it is invaluable!!💖

Re: NDIS stress is it worth it

Very glad to be of help @Serenity1 Your reports/statements will likely show what things are like on your worst days (That's the best way to get what you really need from NDIS) so be prepared to find some of it a bit confronting. It was for me but it's another one of those times where full and frank disclosure of how bad things can be, even if your MH is episodic (like my bipolar 1 is) can mean you get the right help. The focus needs to be on the functional effects of your 'psychosocial disability' and also on your goals and help you need to take steps toward reaching them.
