idiots.

scotch and a hug. my sis has broken down. expletive. bro don't care. refused respite again. I think the mental health system can't support him in the community. I gave my younger bro the number for the catt number. (crisis assessment treatment team) he needs to be sectioned now, unless CCU becomes avail, and if he is accepted! assessment Monday, ha!!! long wait list too. bugger. they are pushing.

Sorry you are going through so much. This may be the best thing to happen though. Sectioned.

Know we are all here for you.

Love and hugs, Karen...

wish us luck for tomorrow!!!! need it, a scotch and a hug. in that order, well a few scotches, lol.

the walking stick doubles as a cattle prod!!

HT, may I lovingly remind you that during a very hard test, the teacher
is always silent. You are not alone Mate.

Peace and strength.

as I said on chronic pain forum, a song by Ronnie james dio when he was with black Sabbath (heaven and hell) there's no back door to heaven, just a front door to hell. had a debrief yesterday, trying to manage the call anxiety and panic. I had over 80 messages, answered a 100 calls and sent 30. he does this with mum, both sisters as well. trying to arrange set times for all. he rings till 5am. bugger. ccu apt Wednesday for an assessment, and a important diabetes appt., his sugars are way out of control. if he refuses ccu then we are going down the guardianship route. have been having low bp for a couple of weeks now and a few hypos due to stress. I am going to stay with my sis for a night, leaving sunday. I will go down to wake him up, get him showered as has to be showered and dressed. early start for me as he is being p/up at 9.15am. the bugger is costing me $ especially on message retrieval. I am getting some $. he has to learn. the hospital ripped out the ph line, ring till 5am. we are all wrecked. me especially. be good.

went down yesterday, 6.50am I was on the train, takes 2 trains. about 20 past 8 I arrive, finally get my bro showered and somewhat dressed with semi clean clothes; he says to his younger bro get ready your coming he says no. well, hell erupted. older bro has serious attatchment issues. I walk away. his worker arrives as I am close to the bus stop, she rings, I said no more today. new appts next week. delay tatics. I rang him today and said I am very close to letting the government take care of you. it is sad that I have had to rip my home phone out, line and power. frustrated to the max.

cheers, I am hoping.

So sorry it all has to come down to this. You have given your all HT. Sometimes despite our best efforts we are unable to make it all better. It's not a reflection on you-it just wasn't meant to be.
all my best

Jamie, here is your post from Anxiety...


after bro walking out of the psychiatrist an assessment order was initiated. he played up with four cops as his younger bro was not coming into the hospital. younger bro had to get in the ambo for big bro to get in. the security staff and hospital staff were awaiting. he a big teddy bear, 6ft plus and 150kg. would not hurt a fly. he presented in the most foul of states at the clinic. definitely will be in HDU, I know the psych unit very well. this admission I dare say will be a involuntary admission. I did write to his team telling them in no uncertain terms that I am done, I still am, until improvement is shown and compliance becomes apparent. my poor younger bro witnessed an ordeal. at least my bro can receive some treatment in a secure setting and become clean. he is incontinent. right medication, right treatment, etc. time for rest and peace.

att mods, can you please post on depression forum. I know it is frowned upon-I just can't redo it again.

I appreciate everyone for your love and support during this very difficult time. your the best.
