Write down all your events, that way when you talk to specialist you can talk about your documented abuse or whatever you went through. Supported living(living with carers/key workers), may be an option - talk to Social Services, disability team (in UK) or speak to your doctor about getting help with your situation. Always ask for carers and they can help you out in your situation.
THANKS replying back to me at Indieabc
This all started when I first started my freshman year in high school.From 1983-87 in Goleta Ca. I notice how my folks re act to each other.Like, exsample my Father is a very close minded guy & when he is hurting inside of him self.He keeps it to him self which its not HEALTHY at all.I would talk to my Dad to open up to his wife but, over yrs.I think it never happen.
Any way, my Dad was having affair with another married co-workers wife.I think it started-my Mom was going threw caner in her private section.She went threw to be a cancer servival but, she never got the love support threw her husband, So, I was there with my Mom threw these times & my Dad become a Man & was honest with his wife. Since then, every time I FAILED something in LIFE. My mother would rip inside of me.From mentaly abusing me over & over for YEARS. That really PIST ME OFF
When I beg my parents when I saw add about a Dignose from a special doctor. I finally got professional help @ the age of 45. ( Dr. Michael Linden in San Yuan Capistrano ,CA.) .
It was at the (( Linden Attention Learning Center in San Yuan Capistrano, Ca. ). This doctor specialized in ((( ADD, ADHD, ASPERGERS & AUTISM clients ))
After, I was dignose & my parents paid for it. My mother told me this over & over in a private conversatation. YOU ARE NOT WORTH A DAM THING TO ME.We are not paying any more $$$ for medication & theropy threw this doctor !!! It mad me so PIST OFF.I was about walk all the way back or find a ride threw the OCTA bus shedual.From San Yuan Capistrano back to my parents house.Where I lived & went threw hell from my Mom .At the Laguna Niguel, Ca. house . My Mom has signes of Dementica for years now.She is taking 2 types of meds daily.My Dad was diganoise years ago that he has Parkinson's .
Recently, I have been his caregiver for 4 yrs now. Both of my parents are taking thier medication .Threw there doctor. I visit my Dad at his house for 4 days a week & I still live in Santa Ana, Ca. over 3.5 years now.
I belong to support group myautismteam where people with autism or where you know someone with autism(child) and you should join, there might be someone on there to give you advice. But I suggest you get some carers and doctor to help you in your situation. My son (non verbal, low functioning autism) gets help from doctor and social workers who got him supported living, now at college he is finding it easier than at home - where there was verbal abuse and such like domestic violence. I would get help for yourself, also. I had mental health team and social worker looking after me and I survived the neglect and abuse, that way. Professional, only help and depression is not good. You should get help from charity or some professional, also employment, education or such like.
-You said in your comment about a"" SUPPORT GROUP" for me to JOIN & what is the name of the group on this website? "" I belong to support group myautismteam where people with autism or where you know someone with autism(child) and you should join, there might be someone on there to give you advice?""
====================
- You said in your comment above that caught my attention?
"" - where there was verbal abuse and such like domestic violence. I would get help for yourself, also. I had mental health team and social worker looking after me and I survived the neglect and abuse, that way.?""
My responce: I'm recently broke & barely have any money to afford any prefessional help. I don't have a medical insurance or anything like this.Due to lost my recent job from the Crono Virus!!!!
Do you haave any advice on finding a " mental health team and social worker or anything like this online.That you maybe suggest to??
There should be charities that can help you in your current situation or the doctor can advise who to seek out for carers.
Google: myautismteam.com - they are from USA too on there and I am from UK but similar help should be available
My best advise be seek the doctor or where you can get information, like the Library of things local(charities) to you - they may help you with autism/ADHD or aspergers or mental health problems or employment or education
Hi there, HealthUnlocked, has many communities and you are able to join as many as you wish. If you look to the right hand side of the page, you will see a search bar. If you type ADHD and press search, you will be directed to the ADHD community and do the same for Aspergers. Depression and anxiety also. Then you will be able to join for added support. For starter's I think you should try the ADHD first and join and then go through the rest you feel you might need. HealthUnlocked covers most conditions. Hope this helps. 👍
THANK YOU
I REALLY APPRECIATE your support by giving me great advice on my situations.
Have you checked the local Assisted Living/Nursing Homes for your parents to be moved to for Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease? Do they have a Memory Care Unit/facility?
You’re one of us now... and I happen to think that the people on this platform are awesome, though I sometimes struggle to see it in myself (I do have my big headed days though 🤣)
You’ve been told you’re not worthy, and that sucks... but in your own words those comments were from a very abusive person... most people aren’t like that. It can seem that the world is a harsh judge, but that’s just the vocal minority on social media... the vast majority of people on this planet are good people... and we all know that you’re very much worthy... you’re our Mike, you’re amazing, and the only help you need is finding a way to see that in yourself... find your outlet and express yourself... don’t look back... just shine.
Hi Mikedbrown, Good to meet you and welcome to this community. As our Ambassador bobbybobb has said, there are other communities which might be able to help further if you'd like to give them a try. But of course we're very happy to welcome you here too for some more general support and interchanges of ideas and thoughts. I'm sure it's a good step to talk and be honest with yourself and others. That way you get more support and more ideas that might help you, so well done! Take care and stay safe. 🙏
