Six Years of Poverty

  Activity Plan The latest..... this morning received a note from Centrelink for a compulsory interview on the 10th to formulate an activity plan. Well I don't mind as long as it involves extra money or a job!!!! People my age on JobSearch Allowance in normal circumstances are required to undertake certain activities related to searching for a job, or to engage in volunteering. The volunteering part applies only to people in my age bracket. So you see the govt acknowledges that ageism exists and it is next to impossible for people my age to find a job. So instead of placing us on a pension (the pension age should NEVER have been raised) they get around it by imposing what is essentially compulsory volunteering, basically community services work. Of course my situation is entirely different. I am exempt from having to work 8 hours or more per week. I would LIKE to work 8 hours or more, albeit in limited circumstances, in the public sector in a background job like what I did before. ...

Kundalini Activation Process (KAP) Sessions This morning I was gifted a KAP session, the Kundalini Activation Process session that I used to attend when I was rich. I used to go twice per month but nowadays, well this was my first session in four months. One of the first casualties of 2024 the year of povery were my spiritual sessions. I used to attend up to three sessions per week with the ecstatic dancing and other dance modalities, two KAP sessions per month, and various other sessions of activations, sound healing, and meditative practices. I stopped going out to these sessions totally for three months while I waited for the first instance of assessment of my DSP claim, meant to have taken place in May. And it was murdering my mental health, my already instense depression grew even more intense, was suicidal, and it was Hell on Earth....... well planet Earth IS Hell but that is besides the point. When my DSP claim was delayed with the next promise being July, I thought, I NEED to ...

My Psycho/Psychiatric Condition - not being treated???? In studying the reason for my DSP claim being rejected, it was stated that my ASD had not been diagnosed, treated and stabilised. OK I get that. We are trying to get hold of the childhood diagnosis through FOI. The adult diagnosis is way too expensive at 1.5K. Had I not been such a fiercely independent little Virgo and sought help earlier while I was still rich, I'd most probably had an adult diagnosis by now. So the very difficult life of a Virgo!!!!!! But it is the other condition, the "psycho/psychiatric" condition - the PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc that perplexes me. They state that those conditions has also not been diagnosed nor being treated and stabilised!!! Uhhhhh...... why do you think I have been seeing a psychologist on a regular basis since February???? Just for a chit chat!!!???? The criteria set out is that the condition is.... 1. Likely to last more than two years 2. Condition is diagnosed, being tr...

  Govt and Big Pharma Collusion I finally found out why my DSP claim was rejected. Like with NDIS, the lack of a formal diagnosis of my ASD. More still, I am not specifically being treated for ASD. I knew one is needing to be treated for the conditions for to get DSP, I thought my regular sessions with the psychologist counts as "being treated". But not to be. It is probably that psychologists are not qualified to treat one with ASD, my sessions has been more about my anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc. Only the more expensive psychiatrists can treat one for ASD, after spending 1.5K for the initial diagnosis. So a catch 22 situation, I can't afford the diagnosis and treatment for ASD, so I am destined never to get DSP because of this. According to my partner however, one needs only to be taking pills to count as being "treated". Well as many knows, I absolutely refuse to take pills for anxiety, depression, etc, cos once you are on these pills you never get off them....

Virtually Being On DSP without the DSP Payment !!!! Today I finally heard from Centrelink but still none the wiser as to why my DSP claim had been rejected. In fact I am even more perplexed. The emails from Centrelink centered around the reporting requirements which is still once per month, and the assessment of my work capacity. I thought my DSP claim was rejected because the mental health professionals employed by Centrelink had assessed that I was perfectly capable of working despite my ASD, somewhat reasonable given that up until the planned-demic I had been working full time - in the public sector under virtually sheltered conditions!!! However they assessed that my current work capacity is less than 8 hours per week hence the six months exemption of my activity requirements - see how the planned-demic fucked up my mental health!!!!!! Therefore exempt from having a job due to my medical conditions. Uhhhh am I missing something? Isn't the idea of DSP is to cater for those who c...

Medical Exemption !!!! This morning I did get through to APM, my jobsearch provider for those with disabilities, and was told that although my DSP claim has been rejected, I am apparently on a "medical exemption" from my job search obligations until March 9 2025. So basically I can't be on the job search system until at least then. Uhhhh OK if I have this medical exemption until basically next year then why have my DSP claim been rejected?? The irony of it all...... Centrelink is often having to motivate the so called "dole bludgers" into putting in an effort to look for jobs, while someone here who WANTS/NEED a job and is willing to put in the effort to this end with the help of APM is being prevented from doing so!!!!! Now I just discovered that Centrelink have paid me an extra $300 today!!!! That is basically the difference between my Jobsearch Allowance and DSP. Dang if I knew they were going to pay me this money I would have been able to pay for 10 sessions...

 Tarot Readings My cards are always right, and the last card draw did predict that I wouldn't be getting DSP. So now I ask about my job prospect, more specifically, will I get a job in these last three months of 2024? In this deck I drew 7 of Pentacles. The guide reads in part.... "a card of money, business, barter - but one gives altercation, quarrel, and another, innocence, ingenuity, purgation [cleansing]" So it seems job related but involves what I feel to be competition, that is, there is competition for job vacancies, but also smart thinking and removing obstacles. So probably more like learning the skills in getting a job, like, resumes, and self presentation. APM apparently does give help and training in these areas. Inconclusive about if I really will get a job in 2024, but more like preparation for the job application process and getting into employment against the background of competition.

  Next Steps So annoying that today is a public holiday in Western Australia, so I can't yet get in contact with APM to get myself back on the jobs market. As extremely unlikely as it is that I will ever get a job at my age, one has to be in it to win it...... and besides it is part of the activity requirements, apply for 20 jobs per month, and attend to appointments etc with your jobsearch provider, which for me is APM, geared towards those with disabilities such as ASD. I am yet to learn of the reason for my DSP rejection, I am told a letter or email would be sent explaining the reasons. I think a lot of it is to do with the fact that others with ASD successfully hold down jobs, and I have worked fulltime before despite my ASD. However those with ASD with jobs are all younger that I am. Ageism is destined to be my biggest obstacle, far more so than even my ASD. Anyway after getting hold of APM tomorrow, next businesses, not necessarily in order, is the NILS scheme for funding new...

 Background Information Back in my childhood I was diagnosed with ASD which made for a most difficult life for me, living with this condition aside from the other challenges that comes with living on the most dense 3D planet in the galaxy. However despite my ASD I was able to land a job in the Public Sector, through the "back door" with the help of a friend, basically working in a sheltered situation for my ASD. I managed to hold onto this job for over 30 years until the planned-demic of 2020, and forcing to quit in 2022 due to the Jab mandates and my aversion to being forcibly injected with a poison into my body in the name of a bugeroo carrying a 99.7% recovery rate for those afflicted with it. So for a while I lived off my savings, however, all of my investments turned pearshaped, and I found myself bereft of funds at the end of 2023. Consequently I needed to get back into the jobs market, hence getting on Centrelink for the JobSearch Allowance. However I soon found that m...
