Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Tw Not Coping

you can meet the safety nets @Birdofparadise8 for medicare related items.
i reached the safety net ages ago because of my specialist appointments etc that i have to attend to
psychology is expensive but because you have KHL you could always go once a month to see an in person psychologist.

why do you only have a month?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I finish with my current one after three sessions, so I see her 7th, 14th and then the 5th of October, and that's it. She said it's due to funding, so I have to go private as I haven't had to pay to see her.

I talk to my KHL once a week, if not more, sometimes. Then, I have been seeing my psych either fortnightly or weekly as well. I'm a very needy person @outlander.

I think I've found three places I like, so I'll show her next week when I see her and see what she thinks, and then I'll see my GP for an MHCP, and then I'll go from there. I also have private health, so once I use the 10 up, I can go onto that for a couple of sessions.

My mum won't like this. A psychologist, psychiatrist and maybe a dietitian.

Re: Tw Not Coping

can you not stay with your current psychologist and use your private health care until you find one that accepts the care plans then? would your current psych not accept a care plan? it wont be free for you but youll get rebates back for those 10 sessions in the year @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

It a community clinic so I don't think that's how it works.

I think I just need to find someone I can see long-term @outlander

I've had three psych in the past year. So much swapping and changing.

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

someone longer term would be more benefical @Birdofparadise8 compared to swapping all the time

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes very much so @outlander

Do you know much about EMDR? Have you done it at all? My psych recommend it. At least she has given me a month where the two I had last year gave me a couple of days to a week. And then I had no one for three months. I was a wreck then.

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

no i havent done it @Birdofparadise8 but many have had success with it.

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

okay @outlander

I'll just have to wait and see what the new psych decides I guess.

Ahh the having to open up to another person and being vulnerable is so hard.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Just get them to transfer your records @Birdofparadise8 they can read the notes before you start so you so t have to start all over again

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

My psych said she would talk to them and write a letter @outlander
