Struggling (TW abuse, minimal mention)

[SnowyMouse]

I'm struggling at the moment. My care coordinator has been filling in an overview assessment for social services to review my care package. The history reads really badly, and she's gone into detail about the abuse I suffered, I don't see why just a single line saying, 'SM was abused (family/child/health care professionals) so she has difficulties with x/y/z' isn't good enough...

Reading it back, I really struggle - I don't want to be defined by my experiences/difficulties. I was feeling really low already, but now I'm wondering why I should be alive if I'm not allowed to escape my history.

Hugs. I suspect that the reason for going into detail is so that social services don't have an excuse to not-renew the care package. You are not defined by what happened, but some agencies need/want all this detail. Ultimately, it's just a bit of admin - you've read it, so put it away from you now. It doesn't define you.

I need to comment on it, unfortunately. I've got an exam this week too, so I could do without commenting on the accuracy of what's been written, ah well...thanks for your support. I'm also concerned if my family could ever get hold of it...
