Чаще всего с моей стороны. Сегодня большая часть наши проблем связана с тем, способна ли я, в психическом плане и в плане интеллектуального развития, поддерживать серьезный разговор на протяжении дня. Мне бы хотелось сказать, что теперь я лучше себя контролирую. Но я понимаю, что даже если так оно и есть, это не то главное изменение, которое произошло в моей жизни. […]

The first one sounds woefully under-qualified (or perhaps just under-trained?) for the job. Thank you for making me think about this. There need to be some important check-lists implemented to make sure that people are getting the services they actually need– especially the most basic, critical things that can so easily slip between the cracks!

Glad that you yelled at them when they needed it.

I can’t get any help at all — have contacted about 9 different agencies, only to have them refer me to each other and to be told I’m too “high functioning”. The kicker is that I didn’t have a formal interview/intake with the DD people (just emailed to ask them a few basic questions), but they sent me a formal rejection letter anyway. Since I’m labeled with psych labels anyway, the MH people tell me to go to the DD people, and the DD people tell me to go to the MH people. *headdesk*

Erg. Sorry for venting. Thanks again for sharing your insights.

But also happy that you have someone you can finally rely on.

I don’t even need help with the basic ADLs but I still experience the problem of just getting *tired* of constantly having to oppose and correct people, to tell them that I really do need help with one thing or the other despite how “smart” and “articulate” I seem; to realize in the back of my head that I’m dropping one essential thing so I can tend to another, and at the same time know I don’t have enough brain left to attend to both. What you did to survive shows a lot of resilience and determination. You never should’ve needed to do it, if they had only hired competent people who could actually do their jobs; but the world isn’t perfect, and you did. It’s encouraging to me, because it reinforces the idea that most people are a lot tougher than they think–that when a person needs to do something to survive (or as in my case, stay off the streets and in school), they usually find a way to do it.

You illustrated this perfectly so. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your thoughts; it helps me to know I am not imagining system incompetence. Have a sparkling 4th of July.
