My agoraphobia developed after my first car accident, and worsened after my second. In short I avoid anything that means I have to go out and drive myself anywhere. To combat this so far, I’m enrolled in tafe, and I car pool drive fellow classmates, I take my partner everywhere I go and often will ask that she drives. Problem being is when I need to go out for something it stacks up and when I go out I leave at say 9am and get home about 9pm, I’m so happy the supermarket is open that late these days!

My self harm isn’t as much an issue now as it was 8 years ago, it just pops up when I’m depressed and having what I call a ‘borderline attack’. I guess it’s because I have felt so powerless in the past and I feel like I need to regain control. Control of whatever is affecting me, whether it be an object, person, or conversation topic. Longest I’ve gone without self harming is 6 years, I started when I was 10, when my parents broke up. Then I stopped once my mum and I found a stable and comfortable home.

I like you am looking to help ‘change the world’ in some way or another. I used to work with disabled children as their personal carer/family assistant, but unfortunately due to 2 car accidents in 2008 I’m no longer able to do it as it wil cause me to become paralysed, 5 degrees more change in my spine and I’m paralysed. I felt it was my calling but I’m now no longer to do it, I’m now on the disability pension and studying a Diploma of Youth Work but am kinda of unable to so some of the vocational training because of the damage to my spine, I’m going to do it, at risk to my freedom of moving and walking, but eventually when I finish the Diploma I won’t be able to use it. I’ve had specialist reports done and one says ‘now and in the future she is unemployable, in whatever she is trained in and whatever else she chooses to train in it can cause further injury, resulting in paralysis’.

I’ve got a variety of health problems such as type 1 diabetes, hyertension, hypothyroid, Borderline Personality Disorder, Pre Menstral Dysthoric Disorder, Anxiety with agoraphobia. And also with my psychological issues I have self harmed, misused drugs, and also have an eating disorder. So going to that audition was a MASSIVE deal. But regardless I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE.

So the point to this, I’ll get to it lol, is I want to know if you Captain Australia can help me to help myself and also to help others? If what I’m asking is too much let me know lol.

Firstly, since I’m too sweet do you know of any other vocal things I can do and also the avenues to pursue this?
Secondly, I want to help people in anyway I can without causing further injury to myself, in what way/s do you know of can I do that?

I met you in Kings Cross train station a few weeks ago, on the escalator. I asked you ‘whats the story’ – you looked at me and said ‘crime fighter. I help people. There are a lot of people to help’.

Im also on a mission to help people. I have thought about you often since meeting you and am very impressed that you express your mission so visibly, and that your ethics are so blatantly good.

Keep up the good work.
