I’ll try and keep this as simple as possible. I’ve been on NDIS for 8 years for severe CPTSD, Anxiety and Depression. I the contracted a debilitating neurological condition which twisted and seized my neck muscles into a position where I need more support. I then had a cardiac arrest and 2 x heart valve replacements in 2020. Over this time I’ve had to deal with support workers that are inadequate over and over again. Just 7 wks ago I finally got a diagnosis of Inattentive and Impulsive/Hyperactive ADHD. I just tried with another new support worker and on the first shift she undermined every decision I was making. This particular shift was pretty serious and I didn’t have the energy or in a place internally or externally to tell her to stop it. When I complained about it the person at the company put it down to a personality difference and wasn’t going to address it any further. I thought about it and emailed stating that was not the case, it was unacceptable on her part. She finally realised and replied saying that. I’ve now completely frozen up and although I want to try another support worker I’m really really exhausted at having this type of thing happen again and again over the years. As I said I’ve just been diagnosed with ADHD and am going to be seeing a psychiatrist in about 4 wks to be prescribed meds. I’ve raw dogged it for far too long. I usually have THC and CBD oil but haven’t for a month due to being out of stock and changing companies. I have it for chronic pain and it helps with getting so overwhelmed easily. So after all of that I’m just needing some objective perspective as you know what it’s like when you’re in the thick of it it’s hard to see clearly. My gut is saying wait until I get my script for MC, wait until I’m onboard with ADHD and go back and try again? At the moment I never want to face another support worker around, but that’s going to be difficult. Like with task paralysis, I have decision or sensible thought paralysis.
