Hello Everyone, I am hoping to find Advice and Support for my Disabilities, my Rights and the Ongoing Domestic Abuse I have

Alchemist8

Hello Everyone, I am hoping to find Advice and Support for my Disabilities, my Rights due to the Ongoing Domestic Abuse I have suffered for 40 years (My Father = Abuser).
I have been Severely-Chronically Ill for the last 12 Years - ME / Fibromyalgia / Severe Depression & Anxiety / Chronic Pain and Chronic Fatigue / IBS / Gastritis / etc, etc! I have been trying to get Help and Support for the last 12 Years!! I am STILL stuck here and STILL ill.  I have spent YEARS looking for Help and Support BUT I am STILL Trapped in this situation that just continues to make me ill-er and ill-er. I am stuck in East Sussex and have been ignored by EVERYONE I have approached for help... I think I am also on the Autistic Spectrum and have inherited (Late-Onset) Dyspraxia.  I just need help and I REALLY hope that this Scope Community & the Organisation will actually help me... ANY Advice is appreciated and ANY ongoing support is too. Thanks

Hi Teddybear12 & Sandy_123, I live in a location that seems to be a complete Blind-Spot for help & support ESP. for Domestic Abuse sufferers.  I wanted to move out of this area completely and find somewhere to live (private rent if possible) in another county miles away - one to get away from my abusive father and two to be able to access Medical Care and Therapies so that I can try(!) to get a bit better... being here for almost 10 years has meant that my already poor mental and physical health has gotten much much worse AND I struggle to even get out of bed due to how 'broken' my mind and body are.  I believe I have Complex PTSD but have no way of accessing an assessment, I also believe I have Late-Onset Dyspraxia (inherited from my Abusive Father) but it did not 'show' until my mid-twenties when I suffered even more stress, trauma and disruption to my life.  I can't do anything with speed, I can't think fast, I can't remember fast, I can't do tasks fast, I can't be the 'fast' person I used to be I just want to be happy and safe and have access to the best health care available - the only way that can happen is if I can re-locate, but the MPs / GPs / Citizen's Advice / Local Council and Directors WON'T help me escape... I cannot count the amount of times I have approached someone for help and then just been ignored... I was even accused by the local Director of Adult Care of "not mentioning the Abuse" in an appt. I had when I first had to move back here - despite Email evidence!! I just feel TRAPPED thx

Hi @Alchemist8 I've have sent you a link on your other post. I'm sorry that you feel abused and no one is helping you. Have you contacted the police about this?

I've sent you an email from community@scope.org.uk @Alchemist8, so please do keep an eye out for that

Hi Alchemist, I’m a fellow fybromygelia, CFS and all the delights it brings and some of the problems the meds bring too. Most hospitals will have a support group, nothing to do with hospital but people who have fibro issues meet up and share experiences over coffee.

Im sure you will get lots of help here but I know a fair bit about the law, my sons at Uni now studying it. Well I think he occasionally studies! I also had abusive parents and was shown how to ‘detach with love’. I simply couldn’t have them in my life any more, the stress it brought made flare up after flare up. I simply can’t have toxic people in my 

 You must be in a very frustrating and fearful state at the moment but have faith that it can and will change and you will be able to build a new life for yourself. Look after yourself such as eating properly, gentle exercise/movement and not overdoing it which is a temptation. Take it one day at a time or one hour at a time if need be.

I had a GP who didn’t even believe fibro was real. I can still remember how aloof and condescending he was. So he got the boot! I am very fortunate to be under the outpatient pain team at my local hospital and have had extensive Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT) from a specialist pain psychologist who works closely with the pain consultant and different physios. It took me many years to get this level of support but I feel blessed to have it now, it’s really turned things around.

Happy to chat anytime if you would like to. You will get through this.
