You are an angel @Shaz51 so lovely of you to be helping your mum so much my sister.

How are you going though with everything you do for everyone else?

[CheerBear]

Haha I thought it was LBK for little bitty kitty @Zoe7. Could be LIttle Black Kitten too 😁 IBK makes more sense though! Ouch with your hands!

You'd be loving this time of the year with sport yeah?

Plans tomorrow are to do that housework I didnt do today and to maybe take the crew somewhere for the night as I am supposed to have an early psych appt on Thursday and need them minded. I don't know whether I'll get there though as it should be NDIS funded but I haven't heard from psych, have no idea what's going on with my plan, tried to get hold of someone to find out but they don't know, my support coordinator is on holidays (yay for being allocated someone a few days before chrismtas just before they went away for a month 😏) and I don't know what to do now. It's way too much for me to deal with and I don't know how or where to start so I'm tempted to just do the mental health care plan thing and throw my hands in the air giving up on it all. It feels like a big mess. And that's a big vent! Guess tomorrow I'll try and look at that maybe 😑

Hope Mr Shaz's xray is OK @shaz51and you're getting some Shaz time in there with all you do for everyone ❤

@Maggie hi and lots of 💗

That all sounds really messy and unresolved @CheerBear. Take tomorrow as it comes as far as you can and try not to stress about it too much. Go to your appointment and see what happens from there - hopefully your psych can fill you in a bit more on where everything is at. It is not ideal and hoping it can be all sorted for you soon. Does that mean your support coordinator is still away for another couple of weeks? If so I can see why you are in a middle right now

hugs @CheerBear, @Zoe7 xxx

Mr shaz wants to see about his MI making a appt for next week

The specialist want to see my mum as she has been in and out of hospital 10 times last year

[Zoe7]

That is a positive with Mr.Shaz @Shaz51 

It sounds like a good idea that your mum is going to see the specialist - especially seeing how many times she has been in hospital over the last year.

Hope both go really well for you and them 

Hi @Former-Member How are you doing tonight?

[Shaz51]

That is a positive with Mr.Shaz-- sure is my sister @Zoe7

[Zoe7]

That is a long time @Shaz51 so excellent that he wants to go

Juggling too many tabs open @Zoe7, with topic Tuesday happening at the moment too. I'm only slightly (very) paranoid I'll reply to here over there 😆

Re my ndis muddle my psych needs to be paid somehow which is the worry. He'll still see me but given he's seen me pro bono the last few sessions, I'd really like to have something sorted. Also as I have literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of funding, it would be great to be able to use it!

I don't remember when the support coordinator is back or whether I'm supposed to contact her or the other way around (grr banned phrases!) from here. I met with her for an hour before Christmas (and was in a world of struggle that day so everything went in one ear and out the other) and that's when my mental health worker closed with me as I'm an ndis funded client now. It's almost laughable but it is not as I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed even just thinking about it and don't know what to do about that. Muddled is one way of putting it! Default avoidance kicking in badly too as it stresses me out lots! I'm trying to remember that I fought hard to get here with the ndis and it would be a shame to give up now, but I'm close being done fighting this one too.

Especially after all your exercise yesterday Fru @Former-Member ?
