Re: Someone like me
Hi @ClockFace
Unfortunately I can't help but just wanted to reply to validate how tough it all sounds for you. A really good friend has a really similar diagnosis to you and she really struggles. She has a bunch of health issues too like lung issues, back pain, fibromyalgia among others. I feel like she's been dealt such a rough hand. She's a talented graphic designer but can't work anymore due to her issues. She's on NDIS. Her one daughter is amazing and is a nurse so really helpful too. Her husband left her when the daughter was a baby because things got too much for him, ugh. Anyway, I hope someone who can relate reaches out to you who can provide ideas.

Re: Someone like me
Once the back procedure settles and the dust settles on my sister and Mum a bit more Im going to reapply for NDIS based on my Mental Health.
They declined me last time because there was more I could do. If I have a Psychiatrist and Psychologist on board I might have a better chance.

OMGosh @ClockFace . If anyone should be entitled to NDIS I have to think you are! The NDIS can be super frustrating. I really hope you can get on it in the near future.
