Hi everyone, @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Peregrinefalcon @Jynx @PossumSocks @NatureLover

Hope your all well.

I’ve just had the worst start to my week yesterday I found out that I can’t see my psychologist anymore as she is moving on to another job at the uni. I have a psychologist I’ve been doing a cognitive assessment with so hopefully I can see him. I have an appointment with both of them on Thursday so I’ll find out what going to happen. I can’t believe this has happened though like I’m happy she has got a new job. I just feel a bit sad about it knowing how hard it is to open up to people and to have to go through that again is just annoying. Anyway thanks for letting me vent I needed this.

Amazing! I'm so pleased to hear you have started the Guided Service and you are connected with the team. There's also the 1:1 drop-in line for counselling if you want to speak with someone between appointments. The Guided Services is a great place to talk through these unwanted thoughts and work towards lessening the rumination.

Please reach out if you need to speak with someone tonight or over the weekend. I have used crisis services and talk therapies a lot and believe that they helped me understand more about what was going on and helped settle my thoughts over time. I will list the numbers below:

  • Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat
  • Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling
  • Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636
  • 1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732
  • If in immediate danger: 000

If you don't feel like speaking to someone tonight I encourage you to look over your safety plan. It's there to remind you that you have choices and are in control of your actions.

I hope sitting with you reminds you that there are propel who care and will give you the space you need to talk about things. Our families don't always have the ability to support us in the way we need. Professional services can change at any time but it's hard when we feel supported by someone and they have to leave for some reason.

Please stay connected and continue to share your thoughts on the Forums!

Take care

Re: Psychologist

Thank you @Birdofparadise8 so pleased to hear you can keep safe tonight and that's all that you need to do. Tomorrow is another day and you can deal with that later. You have the resilience to keep going while you feel like this as you have demonstrated that to yourself and the Forums already. Hope you get some rest tonight! Take care, RiverSeal
