Allied health providers supporting people with disability are crashing out since the #NDIS pricing review was published last week.
What many are forgetting is these recommendations have not yet been confirmed - until the new price guide drops, we don’t know what will happen.

NDIS is NDIS’ing again and I can’t bring myself to engage with it. I have no more anger I can summon for something I know I should be outraged by.

I swear Mexican food is the best cuisine - how can you be sad or stressy depressy when there’s Tacos, Burritos, Guacamole… or the mother of all that is good in the world, Queso?!
You can’t.
It’s happy food.
You can’t.

Anyone else’s cat commandeered your dressing gown/Oodie for the winter?

Nothing prepared me for how debilitating a mild cold could be.
A mild cold isn’t mild, when it sets off flares for other conditions and stops your normal medications from working normally.
It takes weeks to recover and return to a semblance of functioning.

there’s something I’m wondering if other people in my generation (millennial) are rumbling with, and if so what conclusions you’ve come to:
when will we have a fair crack of anything, and long term stability? How do you build a life without generational wealth?

It’s time to migrate office spaces. I’m not vibing with the room I’ve been working out of for the last 18 months - it’s small, there’s only one power point and the lighting for my broken eyes is less than ideal.
So I’m moving back to my original home office space, where it’s far comfier!

If you’re a Support Coordinator or Recovery Coach and this week has sent you over the edge, it’s ok to take a beat to process and feel the feels.
It’s ok to be worried and scared right now, and frustrated.
Take a beat, reflect, then plan your next steps.

✨WINNING✨
I was absolutely in the Sad Place yesterday, after new changes by NDIS were abruptly implemented.
So… my Support Worker took me for a good long walk - we covered a bit over a kilometre.
This is a BIG distance for me, when there are days when I can’t make a cuppa.

Winter for me and other POTs humans is wonderful.
We go from being prisoners in our homes during summer being barely able to get out of our beds, to the best functioning we’re likely to have all year - while freezing out butts off.

Foodies, I need your collective wisdom.
I know nothing about wine, but there are so many recipes that call for it.
How do I know I’ve got the right wine, when a recipe just says red or white?
How do I know if I have the right one?
Sincerely,
Confused.

A glorious morning out enjoying the sunshine and fresh, briny air of Port Melbourne today with my Support Worker.
Possibly the best H&M Croissant of my life so far 🥰

Any other #adhd humans experience a big change in mood while taking adhd medication - or feel like you lost your “spark”?
Can anyone shed some light on this experience? It’s quite the rollercoaster!

Not to brag or anything, but I got out of bed this morning.

1/ Well, I hope nobody had their hopes soaring too high for the NDIS in this years Federal Budget… because you would be woefully dissapointed right about now.
While I’m glad they didn’t announce further cuts to the scheme (and relieved) I’m annoyed they didn’t do more.

Nobody will understand the distress of fluctuating disabilities/chronic health conditions, unless they have one.
Nobody else will understand how hard it is to plan anything in your life, the friendships lost to it, the lost careers.
It’s a constant grief.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is that disabled people are almost always the first to warn society about different crises and we're almost always ignored. Then, when a crisis happens, we're often the first to be abandoned. You need us in your revolution. You need disabled people to survive.
