hi @Soulman , your daughter sounds adorable. I'm sorry you don't get to see as much of her as you'd wish but glad you do get to see her regularly. My neices & nephews are quite a bit older, I can't imagine what I'd do with a three year old these days. 

How is your weekend going?

I meant to write I've been unemployed for 7 years. So I sympathise with a tight budget, it does make things difficult & a bit depressing at times. I like going to gigs but the tckets are pretty expensive

@eudemonism I thought you loved fishing & the outdoors? sorry if I got things mixed up.

Hi @BryanaCamp how are you today?

[eudemonism]

@BryanaCamp i think i love the idea of fishing and camping more then anything. Alot of my time is spent packed up at home suffering from side effects.

@BryanaCamp I'm getting notifications of yourself mentioning me but nothing is showing up when i check???

[BryanaCamp]

hi @eudemonism , not sure why you're getting notifications, tech is not my strong suit. How have you been going this week, what kind of side effects do you get?

I'm ok, feeling a little down about my unemployment but I wrote a job application today so that's something.

Hi @Soulman how are you? how's the paper work going? I sympathise, writing job applicaitons is unbelievably long-winded and tedious. I'm just waiting to see if I get any response. Have you seen your little daughter recently?

[eudemonism]

Just the typical stuff @BryanaCamp this notification came up as Battered-Sav

[Soulman]

Sorry its been a while i have been busy obviously with paperwork and applications with centrelink and NDIS plus appointments to match them.

Slowly getting through!

Hi there,

Your story really resonated with me.  I thought someone was writing my story to be honest.  I also have diagnosed with Complex PTSD.  Suffering from child hoood and adulthood trauma.

without going over everything, I am al  at o in CSI. I applied for TPD in June last year.  Even though I have been diagnosed and supported by GP and psychiatrist it doesn't mean nothing.  The insurer is delaying and trying to find a way to deny my claim.  It has actually exasperated my condition.  It  has been the worst experience of my life into of the condition I suffer from everyday.  The sad thing is no one can do anything.  I been passed around like pass the parcel.  Been in hospital, seen 5 psychiatrists 3 psychologists.  Still the insurer wants to delay.

Also the truth is none of these organisations do anything.  Sane, beyondblue, Phoenix, MHCC OR ASIC.  They all say sorry about what your going through but..... go to these people... I'm alone in this fight.

good luckwith it.
