I'm sure they do take you seriously. You're safety and others has to be balanced out. Can you get a mind mental health advocate to help you understand your rights? The only thing that helped me look weight on antipsychotics was going off gluten and dairy permanently. Lost three stone in a year of starting. -

You won't be able to overturn the decision it's the same in all care agencies. It is wrong to buy a support worker meals because it is seen that the support worker is taking advantage of you. Also it is crossing boundaries with the support worker. -
She is being controlling and unnecessary cruel. Was she with you when you got diagnosed and spoke to the clinician before you left? Would she attend a carers support group or go with you to relate counselling? If not then she has the problem.

I was only allowed to buy support workers drinks or meals with prior permission in exceptional circumstances. When one of my support workers was leaving the company let me take a support worker out. One way around this is using costa points of the free drink at waitrose cards. Also 2 for 1 deals. -

There is a gender discussion thread as well. If you wanted treatment for your gender you can be referred by your gp to a gender identity clinic of your choice. Also you can legally use and toilet and change your name to anything you want within reason. You can't call yourself a lord or a queen.

People who don't look after their appearance look depressed and for many of us we have secondary depression. -

Where I'd your evidence that many of us live with parents in the wrong sort of setting? Who defines whats a normal life? Provided we aren't hurting anyone else in our lives no one has a right to define what is or isn't normal by our lives.
