Been a while since I posted anything up here, and seeing as am having one of them nights, well .. here goes.
Things are going in many different directions for myself at the moment.
Atween the JobCentre trying to get me into work, lack of help or information from the medical folks which means that my DLA application is in constant flux, Makes me wonder why the hell we bother at times.
Now add in a meeting, between a working group of 2 mental health services and some council persons to " Provide a better and more feasible service for all " which has left me thinking that one of the 2 entities are all about " We will prevail and to hell with the other lot "
The only good thing out of if is a Councillor's statement at the end of it which gave me a glimmer of hope about it all.
So what to do, do I try and facilitate a way to get the JobCentre off my case and do the voluntary stuff again to keep my mind active... after all, after 2 years of knock backs and very little opportunities for interviews... you sorta get the hint that they don't friggin want ye.
Or do I force myself to push further to hopefully get a job and hope that it doesn't depress me as much after 6 months.. Cant win .. can you?
Have already proved that I wasn't able to do the work thing thru depression .. and THAT was with a company that I had been an active part off for over 5 years .. sighhh...
It bugs me that the pressure is always on you to get better, but the resources to enable that are being slashed in place by unreasonable requests from outside bodies that don't really KNOW or in my opinion CARE about what the users of that service go through on a daily basis.
I am really shocked at some of the things that our council have done over the last few years, especially when funding for a required service isn't being held up but is being Slashed at every step... No sooner had we made the cuts to be in-line with their request, than the same persons say to us .. Slash it again ???
I mean .. WHAT!! Do these so called Over-Seer's KNOW how to do this at all, it is pathetic in the extreme that they make us do more cuts right after we made cuts to their targets. Would like to see them make the damned cuts on themselves for a damned change.
As you can see, am kinda agitated about this whole thing, which isn't good for me in the slightest, the services I require to get me thru things is being washed out to see without a lifeline, other services from the same major organisation have had to close down because they could not run with these unreasonable cuts.. and yes .. you did read correctly .. SERVICES .. Plural .. More Than One!
Anyways.. am away to have a cuppa ... and try and find a way to get some sleep tonight.
Will catch up again wie ye all.
