Waking up in the morning and knowing I’m going to be people’s laughing stock, so people can take advantage of me and other things hurt. Hi I am vision impaired so I use a cane and read Braille. It hurts and is very upsetting to think people take advantage of disabled like myself.
I have a helper let’s call her Elle for privacy reasons. I know hate is a strong word but I really do hate her as she brings me nothing but stress and days I feel down. Last year when she human guided me she would walk me into things and laugh right I front of me. It really hurts to think she’s someone I’m suppose to trust but I absolutely can not trust her. It took her 12 plus months to give me some information about my Braille note. All I want to do is scream, shout and throw things but I know it’s very immature.
Waking up in the morning is such a hard thing I don’t sleep very well but because I know I will hear her the next day on top of that blind problems.
I hate being Vision impaired and using a cane. She gets away with it even though I have told the principal but she said it was my anxiety then said something offensive about my sight loss.
I hate Elle I’m suppose to work with her for another 3 years. 3 damn years wasted of my ugly life more like it.
She’s used excuses to get out of work like I’m reading the newspaper, I can’t be bothered getting it, I don’t know the answer so don’t worry and so many more.
I’m sorry this might not make a lot of sense and it’s all over the place but I really do feel trapped and like she’s winning. I don’t know what to do. I hope your all ok and stay healthy!

I can't sleep
It's 3 in the morning and I'm writing this because I can't sleep. Again. It's been like this for at least a week now. I stay up all night and then pass out in t...
Why can't you tell someone she is no good at her job and have another carer instead?
ReplyI have spoken to multiple people like the principal, school councillor and my parents. My parents are trying to help me get rid of her. They all put it down to anxiety apart from my family. We have tried to get rid of her. Thanks for asking
ReplyYou can tell her or your guardian about this. But bear in your heart that you're still valid and enough. Your disability wont make you less :>>
ReplyThank u very much. I have spoken to her so many times it’s beyond a joke. My family are not impressed and we are trying to put a plan in place. Thank u for ur comment and kind words!
ReplyShe is being inhuman and i know you are completely aware of that. Like all the other comments above, i really believe that you should find someone else first who you are sure, can take good care of you, and then you must remove Elle from the position of your helper. She is filling false information in your head and is harming you both physically and mentally. Talk to your guardians about it and ask them to file a complaint. Elle must be removed from being a helper not only to you, but to anyone. Though, i do think, that if you could have done that, you would have already done it. What exactly did stop you? If the principal isn't taking your problems seriously, your guardians could help you past that. If for some reason, they can't, you should contact the authorities. This is honestly a serious issue.
ReplyThank u very much for ur kind words, it means a lot. Nothing has stopped me trying to get her out of her job. It makes it hard when ur in a small country town and no one knows how to support a vision impaired person, I’m also the only one who’s got a Vi in the country. My family and I have gone to the principal and complained multiple times. I have even asked the principal do I need a helper and she says yes. Thank u so much for ur advice I really appreciate it. I honestly didn’t think no one would understand. I totally know what u mean with it all. I haven’t given up and u have made it much easier for me. Best of luck and stay safe and healthy!

ReplyThe principal sounds like a person who doesn't have a brain to understand people -_-
And don't worry, seriously. You should never think no one will understand. Because someone always does.
You are awesome, you know. Am dazed with how you, don't let that Elle bring you down. You should, never let anyone bring you down. It's just not right. Also, thank you. I hope you stay healthy too, with the corona fuss going about :p
ReplyThank u very much for everything, it means a lot.
