    good question. as someone who has carers themselves they should be able to support the person even if they were busy in their role.

    are you okay @ellie2000 are you feeling safe today? the carers should be treating you with respect and kindness during a crisis and offering you with support. we’re here for you ellie <3
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    if you mean by the carers then no, theyre not supposed to be told not to talk to you. carers are supposed to form a rapport with you.

    im not sure. i guess my best answer would be that we improve ourselves each day. thats not necessarily fixing ourselves, but its another term that i cant quite describe. oh yeah i think its called bettering yourself. because the managers want to make a profit. they have that business-like mindset which can make them ruthless

    @toffuna101 @eylah I wrote a email to the deputy manager about this one n how a staff member saw n walked away. I been at my mums and I feel heaps better. I'm the black books at where I live only 4 observing n telling the truth, why don't companies like tht? Thts y they sed I got to move. But it's hard wen I notice things.
    Carers n management where I live don't like me

    some companies are sketchy honestly, they only care about making a profit and not telling the truth. theyd rather fabricate things. not all companies are like that though.

    @toffuna101 I asked another carer if I can tlk to them n ask a question and they sed they can't tlk to me. Were they told not to give a positive response?
