I have taken this post off the beyond blue forum, sound familiar.
Who's the Minister in charge of Centrelink? They're responsible for the broken and backward DSP system.
I have 3 Doctors reports and a letter from a Jobnetwork psychologist stating I have Significant Anxiety, Depression, which are expressed in social isolation lack of concentration and communication, moodswings, dizziness, and the list goes on, I'm not going to write all that they put down, it's not necessary.
I have been trying to get DSP but was rejected, so I have applied for an appeal and heard nothing from them. So I went in to Centrelink today only to be told the psychiatrists doctors certificate on the the medical report will not be accepted!
Who gave them the power to do that?
Where did they go to medical school?
What are there qualifications?
I'm getting very ticked off with Centrelinks blase attitude and treatment of me.
My anxiety is really high at this moment because I had to sit and wait an hour to have someone look down their nose at me and tell me pretty much 'we don't care'. There is no over site of Centrelink, it's rogue!
They're is no one I or people in my position can turn to for help with our appeal, we just have to give it all over to them again.
If the Government is going to ignore Doctors then why should I bother anymore.
If they want people to break down all the time under the strain of that poverty payment Newstart then that's what they'll get.
I have had emotional issues all my life, so this is not a new issue for me. What is new is coming to terms and accepting I have these problems. Things like simply going up the road have strange affects on me, I don't have a group of friends and I if I do go and meet people I can't help but get drunk to try and relax. I was told by my psychiatrist that I should stop drinking completely, even though I would only do it once or twice a month on a friday. Becuase it just damages me that much, simply because i consume so much too. Makes me so ill, and I do the same as most people and say I'll never do that again. But I have a problem with anxiety and it makes me either forget about how bad it was or I just don't care cause i feel OK.
I generally don't leave the house unless I have too, shopping, centrelink, jobnetwork provider. I simply can't work because one day I'm OK the next I can't get sleep and I get up having anxiety attacks and that can translate into dizziness, frustration and worst of all for me anger.
I get really frustrated and angry because I'm so cooped up in myself. When I'm like that, I'm not worth talking to because I can be a little irrational and stupid. My mood will swing pretty bad for a few hours after i get up then by about mid to late afternoon I'm usually calmed down and try to get busy around the house instead of being angry about nothing or everything as I tend to blow everything out of proportion.
I'm seeing a psychiatrist and was seeing psychologist, I was because we were just going around in circles, she was good but i think I need time to absorb all the info I got off her. i brought some books on cbt, anxiety and being self destructive. Which what I always feel lets me down.
Anyhow this turned in a rant, I just needed to do this to calm down after that nonsense from centrelink. To be honest that department has been used as a political football for too long, it's busted. It's all show no go now. Glossy referb hides the sadism of 30% under the poverty line welfare and punitive threats towards those of us who need help to just get along.
I think that's all I want to write now.
