I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Hi @Former-Member. Good to hear from you. Life's been a bit ordinary for me lately too. Really hard to get motivated. Yes I found a psychiatrist - quite a way from home and I have to wait til March 23 to start with her. But I have contacted NDIS and have forms being posted out for the application process. Have talked more about all that on the thread I started "Anyone started with the NDIS?". I can't remember how to link a thread. Also I finally heard back from PHaM person and they are sending forms too.
re the computer ... I have Internet on it and can do everything else but can't log in to the forums. Keep entering my details and they disappear. Have had emails to and from SANE about it and they say to try using google chrome instead of the other two search engines I've tried. Just haven't done that yet as me helpers are always busy. So I'm still using this borrowed iPad when it's available.
There is more from others too about NDIS on the thread I mentioned above.
hope you have one of the better days today.

@Former-Member I also have a heap of homework forms and written exercises to do for the psychologist. Feeling a bit swamped as they bring up a lot about the past and also ask me to talk about goals which I find it very hard to do.

are there any other options re Tafe? @Former-Member maybe a different one, or another one may deliver the course differently?
