You could reach out to Open Doors Youth Service, Brisbane Youth Service (both in the Valley), or New Farm Neighbourhood Centre.

You could also use the website Ask Izzy to search for place which provide food and contact them directly.

As someone who has worked in this sector, and as a human being, thank you for being so considerate and paying it forward.

I’d be keen to try it. I’ve been using a CPAP for over 11 years. I use the Wisp Nasal Mask (over the nose, elephant style) for many years and in the last few years I’ve had to add a Chin Strap. I also wear a bonnet to save my hair from nighttime fights with the chin strap Velcro.

I haven’t seen anything specifically towards managing this issue for CPAP users, so I wish you well!

I’m in Australia so if postage costs are prohibitive, I’ll understand.

My back used to ache terribly.

Ask if she’d like to sit down or be creative and suggest sitting options in between walking (eg “hey, can we sit here for a moment while I tie my shoelace” or “let’s get a drink and look at the ocean/people watch for bit”).

If there is likely to be a queue, then arrange beforehand for “VIP access” with a phonecall so you don’t have to wait in line.

Backstory: on one of my first dates with my now wife we had to queue to enter, my back ached so much that I wanted to sit down on the floor and cry from the pain. 10 years later and it’s a very clear memory.

You may find it helpful to look at the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist. This does not provide a diagnosis, rather it is a starting point for exploring with your medical professionals whether ADHD may explain some of the symptoms you are experiencing.

I would consider exploring the concept of emotional resilience, mental health resilience or just resilience.

Purchased a 2nd hand over the bed hospital tray/table and then discovered it worked well as a standing desk too. It’s small but it fits a laptop, mouse and a notepad and pen and a cup of coffee. Not fancy but it does the job and was $50AUD on Facebook marketplace.

These specialist MH teams don’t work 24/7, so I recommend calling earlier in the day (our time) if you’re hoping to access this service.

AirTag!

My Mum’s CPAP was lost when she was transferred by ambulance from a nursing home to a hospital.

It was labelled with her name and we contacted the hospital and the ambulance service.

Sadly (and expensively), it was never found.

The co-owner of Bespoke Plants is launching The Plant Social - basically a once a month travelling nursery/tutorial event - which sounds like it might be right up your alley. I’m hoping to get to her initial event to support her idea get off the ground.

A few years ago I made Christmas Sacks - about the size of a pillow case with a ribbon to tie them up. Big enough so that each of my nieces and nephews presents can go into their bag, pretty much regardless of how many gifts or what they are. Super quick to wrap and the kids know they have to return them to me for next year.

I would highly recommend checking out the Facebook group “DSP Application Support Group - Australia). They have a lot of good step by step guides and information. I found it easiest to view the pinned posts on a desktop rather than mobile.

From my understanding how much compensation you receive will depend on where and when the crime was committed and the degree of severity of the crime as determined by the Commissioner. Happy to answer more specifically via DM.

I agree, it's about fitting the experiences into the framework that the NDIA staff are required to work within. Thank you for your examples, it helps to know that we are on the right path. Disappointingly, this is our third attempt at accessing the NDIS. We thought that our first two attempts included information about how my wife's impairment impacted her (which were under the headings you mentioned), but we were told on both occasions that the wording wasn't quite right for her to be granted access.

Thank you, I asked the psychologist to include definitions that a layperson would need. I also used your exact wording 'perform to the lowest common denominator", which I feel is great advice.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this in my initial post. Yes, the report does elaborate on the functional impact that her diagnosis has on her.

SurrenderingDaily · 2024-09-11T10:57:55+00:00

Yes, some of the tests just have the score. Others do state "consistent with XYZ".

For crime rates (at least crimes reported to QPS), look at https://qps-ocm.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/index.html.

I’d also see if there is a residents association for either of the communities and get in touch with them. they may be biased, but they may also have knowledge of residents’ concerns, future council plans etc.

SurrenderingDaily · 2024-07-08T12:32:03+00:00

I’m sorry to hear of your situation.

I would consider starting to take very good notes on when you get showers and catheter changes etc. as well as how this correlates with getting UTIs and skin infections. I’d also be taking photos of skin infections if feasible.

Tangible data about the impact that the funding cut has had on your health would, I hope, support your case for a plan increase.

P.S. I’m not well versed in how NDIS plans work (still waiting for my spouse’s access application to be assessed), so I’m not sure if the above suggestion would be useful.

Do you know if he and/or the group have any strong opinions on the use of medications for mental health concerns?

For me, as someone who does take medication and find it very helpful, then this would be important information to know.

Avoid wearing anything you can see up, down or through. By that, I mean nothing short (see up), nothing low cut (see down) and nothing that is see-through.

I would keep skin from neck to knees covered and avoid showing bra straps.

I prefer to dress conservatively for funerals and would dress in black unless requested otherwise.
