Some Compassion And Support Sure Would Be Nice,
I have so many unseen issues, most don’t realize the true difficulty I endure each day, first I don’t sleep well, for many reasons, from a brain that is constantly in overdrive, to relentless nightmares, to being in constant pain, to not having a decent supportive bed to sleep on, so my days start of painful, tired and overwhelmed before I even get going, Often I go hungry because living in #poverty I simply can not afford #food to eat, I typically only get around 600-800 calories a day when a man my size and age should be getting around 3000 calories a day, as a result despite my appearance I suffer from malnutrition, I have a great deal of difficulty cleaning my tiny cave, from not being able to afford the basics to have cleaning supplies to being physically limited in my ability to do so, I cant hardly bend over, nor can I very easily get up and down off the floor, taking a shower can simply become a serious challenge, and often leaves my exhausted not to mention I cant often afford the basics for personal hygiene, simply washing a dish or standing at the stove at times can be brutal on my back, then there are chores I need to tend to as part of my rent, and those absolutely can be a painful and exhaustive event for me, and those around often don’t even realize and expect more as a result, and if I say I have had enough today, I am questioned, because they assume I did what I did with ease, but they have no idea of the pain and struggle I had to endure to deal with to accomplish the tasks at hand, reading has become trouble some, as world become very blurry and melt together, writing is becoming increasingly difficult, as finding the words is getting harder and harder, being creative used to help but I have been in so much pain, and under so much stress that I often cant even muster up the energy to attempt to be creative, not to mention my camera is failing, my laptop is struggling, and again no money to obtain what I actually need, I have no #healthcare because the laws people pass have really messed that up, and after years fighting to get it resolved I have given up, so I fight through each day to just to suffer the next, I reach out constantly for financial support yet receive nearly nothing compared to what I actually need, this #disable man exists in #poverty, constant pain and my #anxiety exacerbates my #ptsd, my #bipolar cycles, and several other issues, my blood pressure has been all over the place and frankly in a rather obscenely high range for to long, my core body temp has been far lower than the average, while I often feel as though I am on fire, things get darker with my sight each day, and yet to bright, I hear and see so much that is not actually there, so very much wrong and no support nor help to be found, it would really truly help if people could and would help me #fundriase the money I need each day to live, and the money I need to set up a life where I can take care of myself and lessen the effects of poverty and disability on an aging body and mind.

The outrage over NDIS spending always skips the actual history.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme was launched in 2013 under Julia Gillard’s Labor government. It was meant to be a proper nation-building fix for the old, broken, postcode lottery system we had before — a universal, needs-based public scheme instead of relying on charity or state scraps.
But it started going sideways under the Coalition. They pushed hard for a market-driven model: lots of private providers, plan managers, and middlemen instead of strong public delivery.

Predictably, that brought:

* extra layers of bureaucracy
* profit margins siphoned off
* wildly inconsistent quality
* and huge cost blowouts that had nothing to do with actual care

Even the critics now admit that admin overhead, coordination fees and plan managers are swallowing massive chunks of the money.
Meanwhile the scheme grew faster than anyone planned, because hundreds of thousands of people actually need the support.

So when folks blast “Labor spending” on the NDIS, they’re conveniently ignoring two things:

1) This isn’t optional fluff — it’s real people’s lives and daily support.
2) A lot of the structural waste and inefficiency was built in when it was turned into a quasi-market experiment.

Now both sides are desperately trying to rein in costs as the bill heads towards $50 billion+ a year.

It has been a rough kind of day, I had some rent chores to tend to, which exacerbated both my pain and exhaustion, in between taking many breaks and even now I have not been able to get comfortable enough to relax at all, the wonders of doing anything often spins by #bipolar #mania into drive, which in itself is exhausting, a long time ago I realized how I used to have the energy to ride a bicycle hundreds of miles in a week while working 80 hours, and then later how I could manage working 120+ hours a week without crashing, now eventually that all caught up with me, but in the time since I have done my best to keep my body still and my mind as quiet as I could, as any physical activity seems to through me into a mania induced activation, and it has always been hard to keep my mind quiet, but between the two, along with my constant pain sleep often evades me, so doing chores becomes a fine line of balancing extra pain and at what point does my body refuse to shut down and relax, the sad thing is, there is not pre set limit what works one day may not the next and so on, it is a constant battle of will, and far to often I am stuck in a full speed go even though my body can no longer perform, and that causes more pain more exhaustion and really a great deal of aggravation, in anyevent I am having a hard time chilling out and relaxing and my mind is running so fast it is extremely hard to focus on anything at all;
