Re: Thursday Coffee and Chat-- 28th may 2026
I have private health cover not that I can really afford it. I had 6 appts under medicare plan @creative_writer not sure if have more but my GP is away. But the medicare rebate covers only so much. Have to find a therapist that will accept my private cover. Guess I need to go face to face instead of on the phone but I’m very shy and hold my emotions in. I've got the tv on a program I like. I am smoking a lot and have a heat pad on my back. Puss is on my lap. Thinking will have to go to
bed soonish. Should get off screens.

@GezzaP MHCP gives you 10 sessions. It is true the rebates cover only so much. I hope you are able to find a therapist who accepts your insurance.
I hope you sleep well tonight

I slept soundly thanks @creative_writer . Will have to look for psycho when over all these upcoming medical appts. Sick of hospitals and medical appts. Aging sucks. Sorry grumpy because can’t eat or smoke and only allowed to drink a small amount of water.

@GezzaP you could also ask if your psychiatrist knows of any psychologists who specialise in bipolar. I hope the procedure goes smoothly and you recovery up quickly. It would be hard to not eat or smoke for hours, especially if your body is not used to it
