@rav3n Oh my, how one appointment can change my positive mindset.

I went to my financial counselling appointment yesterday, with the aim to apply for a Wyatt Grant to help with the cost of having most of my household belonging removed from storage and donated.

But after having to give the counsellor a brief run down of why I am where I am, she suggested that I look at emergency housing first, because I am currently living with my abuser, as I have nowhere else to go. I was also staying with my mum, but my niece has now taken over the room I was staying in. So I feel like I can't go back there for the moment. The counsellor advised not to get rid of my belongings until I have rang a place called Toward Home ACCESS and also the Domestic Violence people. My Dare to Dream workshop is being held at The Yellow Gate which have domestic violence housing and financial support, so I will make an appointment to see them and go from there. But now talking about it with someone, is bringing all the memories back.

She told me with the housing crisis as it is at the moment, on the public housing wait list, I could be waiting 10 years before being placed in a house. And BOOM, all the negative feeling are fighting their way back into my head and having a future to look forward to, no longer seems that possible, even if I can get mentally healthy, I have nowhere to live or for my daughter to come and stay. So what's the point?

I have an appointment with a place today, to sign up for a workshop called Shark Cage, is covers a few of the same things that my Dare to Dream workshops has, but because of my depression, I have missed a few sessions, so I thought it will help me with the sessions I missed. Especially on creating boundaries and not breaking them for anybody.

I then have an appointment with my GP, where I will obtain the report from the Psychiatrist I saw last week, so hopefully it covers what CentreLink need for my DSP appeal.

So for today, these are the only two achievements that I am hoping to complete. I might go to the cemetery to visit my partner's grave, it is coming up to the 22nd anniversary of his death at the end of the month, so he has been in my thoughts lately, plus I have some photo ideas for the scavenger hunt there.
