General Discussion / why are the facilitators not getting paid ?

« on: October 18, 2014, 12:20:13 am »

As the title states why are the facilitators not getting paid ? The walk in groups are the ONLY real help that is available and these people are not being compensated ? WHY ?

Again the walk in groups are the ONLY real help that is available and the facilitators are the ones that help in the healing process. The walk in groups are vital to my sanity.


So, many government grants and so much money is being wasted / misused. There HAS to be a better way to coordinate how money is being used and spent.


That money is for ME and others like myself.


I have found that most are in the game only for the money and not for the help and care that is so greatly needed.

The programs that are available are so limited and you have to WAIT. I need help NOW not tomorrow or in a few months.

It is EASIER to kill your self then to get help. Or you can get LOCKED up in a hospital like a criminal when all you really wanted was a little help !!!

General Discussion / SOUTH LAKE WALK IN A WASTE OF TIME !

« on: September 26, 2014, 01:46:26 pm »

 I am begging, screaming for someone to help and.............

 If you go to the hospital they lock you up in a room and eventually ask if you are OK.

 For the doctors out there anyone with severe depression is  ALWAYS thinking of killing them selves from day to day. It becomes a problem when you are / have planning..............

 I was looking forward to the walk in program at South Lake Hospital in New-market. I have heard great things from going to different groups from people. I have not yet seen one person who is better for it only that they liked it.

 Today I had an appointment to see the person in charge of the program and was VERY disappointed.  It is a " SELF HELP " program were you mediate , exercise etc. etc.


 SERIOUSLY !

 If I could " SELF HELP " I would NOT be here. I need is for someone to fix my brain. The person I spoke to we did not see eye to eye and I could feel an argument coming. The person came on as knowing ALL .............. In fact this person is ONLY in it for the money and NOTHING else. This is an income for her.

 The government puts out soooooooooo much money for Mental Health and yet there is NOTHING and only people milking the system as a job and source of income and then come off as know ALL. She was not really interested in what I had to say and neither was i as I quickly saw as this only being a money program and nothing more. As a bonus I would HAVE to pay $50.00 for parking ( I was told that was as GOOD deal). When you are on disability and suffering that is NOT A GOOD DEAL !!! Possibly a GOOD DEAL for the person profiting from it ..........

 In fact there is NO REAL help out there any where and only wasted money that is provided by the government.

General Discussion / HELP !!!!!!!!!!

« on: September 26, 2014, 01:05:25 pm »

 I feel like I am loosing my mind and so frustrated. I unfortunately and unwillingly have to go on long term disability.

 I have been getting the run around from Great West Life insurance for the past month.

 Some of the things they have done / asked

1.   They do not contact the doctors and it Is up to me to get the updated information that they ask for ( they have updated information from both DR.and DR.)

2.   They asked for the doctors notes. I told dr. about that and he almost laughed in my face saying “ these are my notes”

3.   I spoke to DR.  almost a month ago as he filled out the paper work and told him the insurance company wanted more information. Dr. told me “tell them the doctor said to contact the doctor”.

4.    I was told the DR. filled the forms wrong or misunderstood what they wanted ? I said to them that the doctor must me and idiot ( HE IS A REALLY GOOD DOCTOR ) they agreed and I told them someone is and idiot and it is not me.

5.   Today I was told the doctor was not a doctor ? And I was being disqualified !

Furious as you would imagine I contacted the head of that department and was far from calm. We eventually agreed they would contact the DR. with what information they required.

They TOLD me that they do not normally do this almost like they were doing me a favor. Of course like an idiot I had to thank them...................................


(FOR DOING THEIR JOBS !)

General Discussion / Who is going to Tuesday August 26th 7Pm Metting

 So, who is going to the meeting. Is anyone showing up or is it a waste of time ? Its horrible when you only have 2 -3 people and you end up having nothing to talk about after 5 minutes. It make it a VERY boring 2 hours.
