How are you guys doing right now?
im just chilling for the moment but i have been having some thoughts everyday…same ol’ thoughts about my life and how i wish things would be different for me for the better
can’t wait to have my first session with the new psychologist next Monday on the 2nd February
I will have to have sessions with her on a monthly basis since Medicare gives you 10 rebated sessions per year under a MHCP

@Blackcloud I have depression right now and flare ups in my head, back and knee. I'm enjoying being on the forum and getting some human contact for today.
I'm sorry that you're struggling with difficult thoughts. It sounds very much like the thoughts I was having in the early hours of the morning. I'm glad you are looking forward to seeing a new psychologist and I hope she is able to help you. I'm on a waiting list for a local mental health service (covered fully by Medicare).

@Ruby26 I'm sorry to hear about the flare ups you have 😞 flare-ups of any kind are not a fun thing to have at all! I've been an eczema/dermatitis sufferer on and off for a while. I currently have one thats on my right breast and it's been there for a little over 2 months at this point. It got a bit bigger in size gradually due to scratching it with my nails (even unconsciously whilst sleeping) every night. But I did purchase and received the eczema mittens just early this month and using those every night since then has been helping 🙂 it's a long process for the eczema on my right breast to eventually and hopefully disappear since breasts are a thin skin. But as of now I'm noticing some improvements while using the mittens 🙂 still have a long way to go!
I think eczema for me mainly comes from chronic stress/anxiety/depression and the unresolved traumas I've had in the past
but yeah with the difficult thoughts I have, they're based on the fact that things in my life won't get better, with some passive SI (su!c!dal thoughts/ideation) involved but I'm safe, etc. etc.
oh yeah, it's also good for me to be able to connect with the lovely people including you here on the forums too for some daily support ❤️
