Support applying for ndis
My health professional and other people this week have suggested I apply for ndis, since symptoms of my mental health and overwhelming symptoms from multiple health problems my capacity to understand forms and such is limited now apparently there's a 3 month wait to access support person to help me complete this off .... feels like it's a battle to get support and I don't know how I'm going to collect evidence the names of things they cover I can't even say half the names
Life's hard 😪

Re: Support applying for ndis
I hope you will be able to get some support. Does the health professional you are seeing have any suggestions on who you can ask to help you with your paperwork? @MedicinalGypsy

Re: Support applying for ndis
Oh no @MedicinalGypsy ! I'm so so sorry to hear that. It must have been frightening to hear.
At the same time, I'm sort of surprise you were given that information?
How are you feeling about what happened yesterday?
Hugs

Re: Support applying for ndis
I'm so sorry to here this @MedicinalGypsy . It sounds like you have a really big heart and you feel what everyone is going through.
I read you use an anxiety app. Are there other things you find helpful? Or example, any hobbies?

No wonder you are tired @MedicinalGypsy
We hope you get your needs met so that you find yourself able to rest. This takes time.
I used to stay up for days on end with my insmonia.

Re: Support applying for ndis
That's a terrible accident @MedicinalGypsy . To live the ongoing effects of a work accident must be so hard.
I hear it is very hard for you at the moment to go through all the process. But hopefully, if you get NDIS, you can get a support or social worker to walk with you through some of these processes.
