Oh wow @Snowie that's so frustrating! Really gets me when you get stuck waiting for an email response, not knowing if it's gotten lost or caught up in junk or something. And for a SW? You'd think they'd understand the importance of consistent communication. Sigh.
I'm glad next steps are happening for your mum, can imagine it's been super impactful for you and the family. Hope it leads to some respite for you hun 🤞💜

Finally heard something about 30 minutes ago. Coming out tomorrow afternoon. Lucky I was free. Still don't know how it is meant to help. Just feel like I will be counting down the meetings.
Just feel like sh*t. Using sp, contacted LL, nothing left.

Sorry shouldn't complain, should just be grateful for having it in the first place @Captain24
Same old broken record, over this thing called life.

You can be relieved to hear from them but still be super irritated and frustrated about the whole situation @Snowie. Plus, our emotions often take time to actually work their way through our system. If you feel like you need to complain and be irked and have a vent, then do so! Better that than to shame yourself for having emotions and tell yourself you ought to just be grateful.

@Jynx just at the point where I really don't know if I am worth it. Someone else could use it. Yes people will say you are worth it and you deserve it as much as others, but actually believing that is hard, especially when you don't see a way forward.

It’s ok to complain. @Snowie.
It feels like a broken record and that you are going around in circles. But we are here to listen.
I hear you with being over this life. I don’t want it to go on anymore.

@Captain24 you safe for now hun? Want me to check in via email?
@Snowie Aye, hearing and believing are two different things. So then I guess... like, what would you need to do to convince yourself that you are worth it, that you do deserve the support?

Eep @Captain24 I am so sorry I just need to clarify - are you saying 'nah' to the question about you being safe or to the offer of an email? I believe I know what the answer is but I do just gotta be super certain 🙃
