Re: A long rave

Hi and good morning @Flying_Hams @Maggie @Zoe7 @Adge @TAB  and anyone I've missed who's interested.

Feel like I'm boring and probably need something more in my life.  Since my holiday I've basically spent all my spare time (which is quite a lot) either here (where I feel useful and appreciated it's true) or just colouring mandalas or watching tv shows.  No motivation or impetus to do anything else.  Bro has asked if I've put myself on the public housing list yet so that' something to get on to - spent a couple of hours online finding out what's involved - so much evidence to gather.  For the last 3 years it feels like it's been one evidence gathering mission after another (NDIS, companion card etc) and it tires me - constantly jumping through hoops to prove entitlement is largely about proving what's wrong.  Detracts from my capacity to focus on the good stuff.

Not exactly depressed but certainly not 'switched on' either.   Bleh ....

 

That's my rave for today.  

 

@outlander @Former-Member @greenpea @Appleblossom @CheerBear @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Exoplanet @Bimby2 @Sans911   thanks to all of you for keeping me connected and/or supporting me lately.

Re: A long rave

Morning @eth. Hearing very much about the information gathering process.ive done much of the same in the last 3 years as well. It's crushing and demeaning at times having to prove yourself or describe your 'inabilities' just to get what is needed. Certainly can make you feel 'bleh'.

Re: A long rave

yeah its like oh do you want that? with govt these days , then okay we think you are lying to us so we want proof and if we contact someone who says otherwise we will believe them cos it suits us lol 

Took me near 12 weeks and 10 visits to get back on newstart, after trying to get back on 2 days after cut off for working in 6th straight fortnight, was a whole 27 hrs over 2weeks so why would I need to be on benefits lol

looked at public housing, earn too much, although way things going, well..  anyway its a minefield, hearing you @eth  plus have job interview coming up, maybe can pull self together , reinvent self on last time lol.
