Safe Now

Hey @Oaktree perhaps Beyond Blue? They have a chat service if that's helpful

Hey @Oaktree , just wanted to check-in with you to see if you are okay.

Hi @tyme

I didn’t end up using a chat service but my psychologist did check in with me. I am still having some flashbacks especially as I am trying to fall asleep which are distressing. The psychologist want to do processing next appointment but I don’t have an appointment till the 5th.

Let us know how you go. We've been worried @Oaktree . I hope you have some tools up your sleeve to work through what you are experiencing at the moment

@tyme

I got a referral for 3 sessions with a counsellor from Tafe today as well as the name of an Aboriginal Corporation who deal with trauma.

That's great @Oaktree . At least you are reaching out. I hope it is a step in the right direction to help you through this rough patch. Do you think you are doing too much and your body is run down?

Thinking of you.

@tyme

My husband forgot to wake me for my second lot of tablets one day last week. I am particularly sensitive to the level of this particular medication. Hopefully it settles soon.

I hope so too because I can feel that things are a struggle at the moment @Oaktree

Please reach out if there's anything we can do to better support you at this time.

@tyme

I just emailed my psychologist with my concerns about the therapy she is suggesting. I had 9 points of concern. She won’t get back to me for over a week as she is taking all of the next week off. I am going to go find a safety plan online for just in case. With my history it might be good to have one in place before I actually need it.

I'm glad you were able to reach out about your concerns @Oaktree . That's important. And with the safety planning, good on you for being proactive. Do you use the beyond blue safety planning app?
