@Dreamy   How are you lovely? How is puppy Caspar today? I’m sorry I’ve not been offline. I’m just really struggling and finding it hard to do anything. I’ve been to the local housing crisis and also went into the mental health place called Mental Health Locals. Not much help on offer. Housing place said they have no accomodation for emergency for people with my disabilities but they said if I find private rental they can help with rent in advance and a removalist. Mental health are overwhelmed and my intake appointment isnt till July. Then 3-6 month wait. 

I don’t even have a car to sleep in. 

Yes I am hugely relieved surgeon went as well as could be expected. Last thing I need is a medical crisis right now. Booked in for surgeon of podiatry for 18 June. Good thing is that whatever he does to amputation won’t hurt as much as the amputation I had. 

What have you been doing today?

Hello @Cuddlebear, I'm feeling a bit out of sorts today or rather alot. Casper seems to be doing a bit better but the issue still hasn't resolved itself which is concerning. Completely understand that you would be struggling at the moment with everything going on. I faced a similar situation earlier this year with facing homelessness and I'd exhausted all avenues possible trying to get help and noone could do anything, there wasn't any emergency accommodation available either. It seems the mental health system is in crisis everywhere at the moment which really isn't helpful when you need support. I'm really sorry for the situation you are in at the moment, i really hope something changes and you are able to find a place to live and get the support for your mental health. 

It's great that something is going the right way at the moment, we definitely don't need anything else to contend with. Hope all goes well with the appointment on the 18th. 

I've been finding myself very overwhelmed today so I just finished doing a bit of cleaning to keep myself busy. Now I'm sitting down with a cold Milo and I might do some of my puzzle. 

What have you been up to today?

@Dreamy  Honestly I’m so glad that Caspar is doing a bit better today. Truly is wonderful news. I am hoping the cream helps and as he is treated each day thwt you see improvement. Is he helping you with the puzzle? lol! 

How is the cold you’ve had going? It sucks being sick on top of mental health struggles. I really hope you are on the getting better part from the cold. 

Im sorry to hear you too were in same situation. This housing crisis is so real. I’ve had a similar experience to you where I reach out to where support is supposed to be but there’s really nothing on offer. Its obvious low income earners facing homelessness are just a number in a cold brutal system. 

Today I have emailed my local member requesting a meeting to get their help in avoiding homelessness. I also contacted a disability centre I’m a part of to ask if they had any idea as to where I might get actual help with the housing situation. That took me ages to do but i did it. I’m trying to figure out how the heck a blind person is going to pack things up. That’s a problem. I’m also looking online for private rental inspections.

@Cuddlebear he only has 2 more days on the cream so I'm not sure what's going to happen after that. He lays on the empty chair next to me while I'm doing my puzzle. 

The cold has definitely taken its toll and I'm still struggling with it. But I've at least got a little bit more energy today than I have had. 

Yeah it's horrible, the system is so badly messed up. 

I really hope those that you contacted today can help or at least point you in the right direction to getting help. It's hard enough packing up a house full of things as it is so I can only imagine how much harder it will be for you. Surely there's a service that should be able to help in this situation? Why is it that those that are the most vulnerable are often left alone and without support when it's really needed.
