I live in supported accommodation and sometimes I am bed bound and not eating and they just ignore me. I haven't had a key worker since maybe May when mine left. No conversation with me before or after they sectioned me. I got a care coordinator when they sectioned me. I asked her to ask who my key worker is and they allocated me one. I asked him for a key working session and he was so resistant. I asked to see my care plan and he said he hasn't had permission to share it - though I have read and signed it. I said I need help with finances, eating, socialising. He said to me that sometimes a key worker session is walking down the road.
I am scared and I thought he was one of the good ones. Now I know/feel that there is not one staff member I can trust. When I ask for help or express distress I am treated like a trouble maker.
I said to him yesterday that I am profoundly disabled and asking for help. Now I am scared of him and meeting him today at 11 am.
I am basically left at the mercy of my (controlling) boyfriend and in a house where my housemates/friends smoke crack. That is the reality and this 'supported accommodation' is just making money. It's really scary.
No one cares about us. They just sit in the office all day and make their money.
I suffer a lot with mental illness but waking up frightened (today) is a new one. I feel powerless and I have no voice here. Surrounded by 'professionals' who lie, ignore, and brush off my needs and concerns.
