@outlander - did I miss something and you've found out the retreat is a private one?
Headspace are fabulous and definitely something to look into, especially if it is local to you.
Sending you big hugs Outlander

Re: when is it time for hospital
i have a feeling it is @CheerBear
i cant find any retreat that isnt private. ive done so much reserach trying to find even hospitals and they are all private except the public hospitals and if i do that i may as well jsut go to my own local hospital
im so confused i dont know whats right. i know i need help but im scared and nervous and dont know how to make the first step
i went though something similar to headspace for my suicide prevention rpogram and i havent improved

Why don't you look into getting private health insuarnce? That way if you do decide you want to go to private hospital or the retreat you can go later on. The one I joined has a 2 month gap so that's why I'm waiting til July. And it's pretty cheap. So in the mean time continue with your GP and psych and programs ..... that's an idea anyway, I can't give you the answers my friend @outlander xx

i dont know @Pepsimax im stuck in arut and cant claw my way out
@Former-Member i ahve looked into getting private health insurance its more expensive for me becasue im under 25 which is crap and the cheapest ones ive been offered i still cant afford.
i know 2 months gap isnt long but i think i need to do something now, my MI is actaully scaring the crap out of me esp the unpredicatability and ive got so many scars im having trouble finding room for them
i need to do something

Re: when is it time for hospital
@outlander Private insurance is only more expensive if you have not had health insurance and you are over 30 years old (lifetime health insurance cover). Premiums cost more after 30 years of age and if you don't have ongoing cover and if you stop your health insurance and you go back and you want health cover again. I believe there is a loading and therefore it is more expensive.
I hope you can find a way forward and start to heal.
PS Here is some information on health insurance!!

Re: when is it time for hospital
When you said the word "retreat" I cringed a little because that usually means "incredibly expensive" as far as I am aware @outlander, though I kind of thought your psych wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't really an option for you. I had a bit of a look in NSW at mental health rehabilitation type services and there are some around (even though it would depend on where you are which I obviously have no idea of). They kind of sound a little like the break place I was in, though there aren't as many as I think there are here. Perhaps you could ask your GP or someone at Headspace whether there is anything like it around and how to access it.
If you really think that you really do need to do something now Outlander, as in you can not cope on your own anymore and you are really worried or scared about not being able to keep going or stay safe, then it seems very much like listening to that could be important right now.
