Good Morning!

Sounds very isolated @Emelia8 do you have neighbours or friendlies closer by? Do you get out to the shops or anything? Just sounds very rough going through what you're going through but being isolated there too. Sending another virtual hug your way 🤗

yes, was being silly @saltandpepper 

[TAB]

yeah that's sorta what I meant, no rush with decisions @Emelia8

Good morning @frog @TAB @saltandpepper @Emelia8 @Former-Member @MDT @Adge @Ant7 @Meowmy @Clawde @Schitzo @Shaz51 @ShiningStar @bipolarbunny @HenryX @roses @LostAngel @Snowie @BPDSurvivor @jem80 @outlander @BlueBay @Anastasia and all forumites here! Have a great day!

I've been up since 9am after having a restless night. I've got my Ndis review this afternoon and I'm nervous/anxious/stressed about it. I'm expecting them to try and cut some of my funding as the federal government is on a roll with cutting back funds for participants at the moment and because I'm only in it due to my MH, I'm expecting the worst. It hasn't helped that I haven't been able to use lots of my funding due to Melbourne being in so many lockdowns over so much of last year but try explaining that to the relevant people. If it gets too much, I'll just tell the person on the phone I'm stressed out and they can deal with me later. If not, they can stick their stupid funding altogether as I find it's useless for people with MH except for the transport allowance which I only got out of them after my doctor write a letter about me driving when I wasn't in a fit mental health state to legally drive. Oh well. Another drama to unfold I guess! 

Take care forumites!

Oh @Judi9877 you are sitting with a lot!

Hey may I ask do you have a coordinator to help you? NDIS is a minefield for us to contend with. We need help, I have just found the most amazing coordinator after a year and I believe this will be a game changer.

Good luck today sweets, I am sure you will be fine. Let me know how you go xoxo

All the best for your review today @Judi9877! 😊Something I've learnt is that, as hard and confronting as it can be, it's actually good with processes like that for them to see you 'at your worst' so to speak, because it's a bit more demonstration why the funding is needed. It's also important to do whatever will be best and right for you through it all though. Take care 🌺

@Judi9877 it must have been a difficult night last night and I understand your anxieties over NDIS. Its not fair participants should be subjected to so much stress over something that should really ADD to their wellbeing and not take it away. Good luck today, just try and hold your composure and face it as best you can.  I hate these situations it really sux that people who genuinely struggle are forced to jump through so many hoops just to get entitlement to basic support.

All the best with it my friend @Judi9877

[TAB]

yes , the hand that giveth also taketh away, they are giving all the ndis money to private for-profit agencies now @Judi9877

Hi there @TAB @MDT @Former-Member @TideisTurning @Anastasia and all wonderful forumite friends. Still anxious as the appointment is at 3pm via the phone but I've decided to try and calm my nerves by knitting a beanie and having calming cups of tea. I've  done my food shopping so I have at least been so way productive in that regard.

Thanks for your support!
