This post isn't about being a writer, but it does touch on my disabilities and it's something I need to get off my chest.
If you know me, you probably know about my current living situation. Basically, I live in my own house (which I rent) and I have support workers come in and help me with everyday tasks, or just be there if I need someone to talk to, because of my mental health.
Last year, I got very attached to a particular SW. I got on really well with her, and I ended up getting a little obsessed. (I'm borderline, so this may be why.) When they took her off my rota I cried for a few days. I just couldn't get over her.
Now they've done it again. Someone who I really like and really got on well with, has gone off my rota. Now, I'd like to say that after over ten years in the care/SL system I'm used to it by now, and for the most part I am. But when you really click with someone, and they disappear (for lack of a better word), it really hurts.
I also want to move on with my life because I have a wonderful boyfriend and I'm imagining a future with him. I can't have a future with him if I'm living in SL.
Things are getting better. I now have three hours to myself almost every day, and this may seem like a small thing but it's a great step in the right direction towards my independence.
I don't know why I'm writing down these things and sharing them, but if anyone can relate, and could talk to me about it, I would be very greatful.
