Re: not coping
They’re not helping much just going through their own things

Re: not coping
Well at least they are going through their own things and not expecting you to! @outlander
What have you been up to lately, if you don't mind me asking. I hope you've been okay-ish. Are you still in a lot of pain?

Re: not coping
I’m pretty tired though when I’m not working I’m basically just sleeping. Sometimes 10-13 hours
Pain is always a factor in my life with complex pain and other medical conditions

Re: not coping
I don't know how you do it. So much pain yet also able to work. @outlander Good on you. I guess no one else will pay the bills. Are you okay about everything?
But it's true. Best be doing something or the mind tends to wander.
Have you heard back from NDIS yet?

Re: not coping
unfortunatley no, i havent heard from NDIS yet. its been so long now but apparently its in the last stages and they hope to have an answer within the month. no guarentees though but thats only an answer, if they say yes it could be months before a plan meeting so i am able to access funding.
@tyme i dont have any choice except to work. my health costs me a fortune plus i will still need to be able to live as well. the enxt few months will be a trial run to how ill be able to consistenlty work this much with so many issues. im hoping to be able to at least be stable at 5-6 decent shifts per week (as in not 2-3 hour shifts unless several in one day)
otherwise i may need to consider disability and stick with only 25 hours a week as thats the maximum hours i can work on a centrelink payment unless its with a disability provider [edited by moderator] who only pay $5 an hour to their participants which i find shameful.
getting NDIS would mean that i could access supports to help me keep working as well

Re: not coping
I hope you hear back from them soon @outlander . I enquired from people from NDIS once and they said even on the NDIS, you can work full time. So I hope getting it will help. Fingers crossed.
Any plans for today?

Re: not coping
I'm guessing you feel pretty flat about it @outlander ?
Putting myself in your shoes, I'd be pretty peeved. Are you okay? Also, I've sent you an email.
