def6 H2H shellsncheese hedy hollyhock Arid So there's been a new development! About 2 hours ago, soon after the freak hailstorm, I got a phonecall from her begging me to be available tomorrow at home just to sign some papers at my home at 9:30am tomorrow, with her voice sounding very shaky and she said so that I can" continue treatment there." It sounded very official. What the heck? Obviously I have no idea what papers would that be, but could it be some sort of statement that you are satisfied and agreeable with her/their services? If so, there's your chance to get rid of her. The best of luck in any case.

hedy I'm not going to lie because she's there at my home and then put my name on it. And then sign up for another round of not being listened to . My artful dodging worked!

Having social workers in your life can be very intimidating, even if they aren't threatening you directly. If they're making remarks like you aren't looking well, or trying to look in your home, trying to come around a lot, even if you don't currently have squalor, it's possible they're looking for excuses to find something inappropriate in your home so they can make reports, do welfare checks on you, get more funding, get a raise for finding these kinds of problems with clients, ect. They stick their noses into things. They're trying to find things wrong with people so they can get paid to make the people do something to clean up the problem their way.

I'm not saying none of them care or that they go into it to be bad people, that they are out to get people. It pays to be a little paranoid of them than not, however, because they try to find excuses to pop in and make home visits to assess whatever damage you have in your personal life. We all fight squalor here so social workers are potentially problematic to us.

That is besides what this particular one was trying to do, which had something to do with keeping me on in their program that I don't want to stay with and pressure me to sign up for their side programs which I naturally am disinterested in and she will persist in trying to pressure me anyway, lying about meeting my needs.

So I figure I have different options. I can report her. She must have dementia possibly. They won't do anything about it if she's leaving anyway and I have a new worker. Then, they'll badger me to enroll in their different programs and not take no for an answer. OR I can continue not getting the door and proactively searching for a local doc and taking care of business. I'm on my feet again literally walking around, taking care of errands. So I'll have to keep up passive resistance. I spoke to a friend last night who said that said that she has also been badgered by social workers by this in the past and they do have certain agendas to get clients into their "groups" whether or not it suits the particular client's needs.

I cannot reiterate enough to beware of these social workers. They are supposed to be helping disadvantaged people in the community but they meddle and use intimidation if you don't do what they want.

Social workers pick on the following types of people: people with squalor (us), anyone with a special needs child (ren), anyone caring for an elder, anyone with a diagnosed mental illness, people with animals, single parents, any socioeconomically deprived person.

Time to make it clear (a note on the door perhaps?) if you don't want to speak to this person, that you are done having any contact and will take necessary steps if it continues. Report her, get a restraining order, whatever it takes.. I don't quite understand why this lady is badgering you or the type of social worker she is, but I think that is a geographical thing. Anyway, you need to be DONE with this woman and I think, anyone in her organization.
A local doctor sounds like a good plan to me.

I'm not sure why she is badgering me either. Her organization is where my pmed doctor operates from. This is why I'm looking for a primary care physician to prescribe my medications. I have PTSD and this organization has helped me in the past. They were never as problematic as this before, however.

I think she's losing her mind. I told her I would be busy in the next few weeks taking care of business and I thought we said our goodbyes.
