Basically I have been assigned a support worker recently due to MH problems / bpd / PND. I have 2 DD’s and currently struggling with very low mood / suicidal thoughts etc so have my support worker come once a week to see what support she can offer us as a family. We have only met her 3 or 4 times so far, and today she came over to visit.
Basically my DD1 has been offered some sessions for nursery during summer hols to help my mood. Today she told me she’s busy so hasn’t managed to sort out funding for summer hols club and told me it can take up to 6 weeks for funding to process. Nursery have told her that she needs to do it ASAP as spaces are limited during the summer, she began ranting and raving saying that the nursery DD1 goes to is disorganised in sorting things out (feel like she’s the disorganised one
).
Then when I asked if the funding would be ready in time for summer she said “probably not, so you’re just going to have to cope on your own for a few weeks while I sort it.” As already stated, my mood is low so struggling to cope with daily life and the children. Just found that a bit upsetting the way she phrased it, but maybe I’m bring too sensitive.
Lastly, we were chatting about makes my confidence low, she said that weight was something she finds makes her confidence low and said “you are over weight so have you thought about maybe doing something to boost your confidence?” Obviously I found that incredibly hurtful and made me feel worse. I just don’t know if I should get someone else or just suck it up and deal with it.
