Bad experience with NDIS
So, I just recieved an email from NDIS and it said that I should get an emergency alarm system installed into my unit, instead of getting a service dog. The lady assumed that I suffered from anxiety about burglars entering the house, instead of the problems that I actually deal with everyday. I feel really devalued. I feel as though people assume that I don't feel emotions when I actually do. I also feel as though people who are upset about stigma, feel ashamed of themselves because of the image that is percieved as a stereotype that struggles with the problems that I deal with. I don't think that I should feel ashamed of the whole stigma issue, but because everybody else feels weird about it, I now feel weird about it. I never worried about what other people thought about people who deal with stigma in the past, but now I feel so alone in dealing with the issue. I feel as though my symptoms that form the idea of bpd stigma (because I check all of the boxes to having bpd) are somewhat my fault and that therefore, the stigma is my fault. anyway, I felt as though the NDIS lady depended on stigma while responding to my formal request about something.
