Re: rough time
Hi @Sans911I was doing an intensive workshop with very early mornings across town. I just came home cooked, ate and went to bed. No computer. It was worth it.
There were the usual mental health challenges while I was there, but mostly things were well handled.

Re: rough time
Hi @outlander,
Sorry to hear you are struggling today. I am going to send an email to check in and see if you need any extra support.
I am also wondering while you are having a rough time tonight whether you could let us know a bit more what is happening and how we can best be supportive?
Take care,
Tortoiseshell

Re: rough time
Things have been really difficult for you for a long time @outlander
I disagree that you aren't strong or brave, but I understand too how you can't see those characteristics in yourself and. Perhaps look at how much resilience you have, what have come through.
For you, what does strong and brave look like?

Re: rough time
I had a feeling there would be lasting effects from the other day @outlander
I don't know enough about you to know why you react this way, but I know some events affect more adversely than other people. It's one of the reasons I encouraged you to see a pyschologist regularly. But you are you, and you are free to make whatever decisions you feel is best for you.
Watching you suffer like this is hard, and I can only imagine how difficult it is for you. Have you tried any breathing exercises this afternoon or grounding at all?

Re: rough time
i cant get in to see a psychologist regularly, i have been looking but they only do up to the 10 medicare sessions and then i need to pay privately-the cheapest ive found is 180 per session. at that price i cant afford regular sessions it would only be every few weeks or so. i dont understand how there are bulk billing psychologists but they arent allowed to do that. it doesnt make much sense to me.
with the uni psychologists, im not sure how it would work. its suppose to be confidential meaning each person i see i would have to start all over again. i cant even find a supervised psychology student on the net. i looked earlier today while the kids were occupied. i could only find supports for uni students themselves. i dont know where else to look.

Re: rough time
It's frustrating I can't help you out more @outlander
I can't think of more options. It must ok to bulk bill, otherwise my pysch is acting illegally. Perhaps its a state by state difference.
Is there any other universities around that you could see if they have a clinic?
Is this is so frustrating for me, it must feel at times that there is nothing suitable for you. But please, please don't give up. It's just taking its time to find that special right person for you.
