I used to have a nursing agency that visited me for a couple of months, cleaning - preparing meals and that. And the odd outing around the area. But i got resentful for paying it outta my PIP - and in all honesty, im more than bloody capable of doing all that myself.
I didnt want to become too reliant on them and “give up” just to veg on a sofa all day, whilst it was all done for me.
And the fact i was scoring weed for the woman as well - which was counter-intuitive to my own well-being.
So i binned them off. And i never paid the fees in the end either.
It pissed off the social worker - after he done the paperwork for the part funding, but he turned out to be a fcking snowflake and left the service - there was no reliable care from him anyway, cos he was off sick every 5minutes.
Unless im having a wobble - i purely see the CMHT for me jab once a month now.
@Wave . Yes- I am lucky. My birth family though not overly hostile( my sister has voiced some mild resentment/negativity about my being mentally ill) have never been that proactive in supporting me .
I had a caregiver that lived with me while she was here she helped me alot I miss her and wish she didnt leave me. I was doing good before her I think and I’m doing good now i think but having help helped alot plus having someone there with you. I’m not going to lie I miss having a caregiver.
