My special place

I'm sorry, I hate complaining. It seems it is all I do.

Going to go.

@Snowie it sounds like you felt a bit dismissed by the person on the phone today. Is that right?

We're here to keep listening, but I'm also going to send you an email to check-in ❤️

Do you want to pop into one of the social threads to check-in? I know for me, it can help pull me out of a dark place a little bit ❤️

Last night was another rough night. Not even my teddy or the dog could help.

I ended up emailing my pdoc last night but haven't heard back from him. Don't really expect to, he would be busy with other patients.

Another day to just hang on when I don't want too.

I hope everyone has a nice day.

@Snowie I'm so proud that you kept reaching out and trying things to soothe, even if you were unsure if they'd help ❤️

You may have already tried this and I'm not super sure about how it works, but is there anyway you can go to the hospital and talk to them about how tough things are at the moment? And see if they can get you in?

I've had a very close friend who was booked in to go, but they were feeling like they were unable to keep themselves safe. The hospital made space for them.

Like I said, I'm not sure, but this limbo sounds so difficult to sit in ❤️

Thanks @Former-Member

The hospital is an hours drive away so I might be able to ring them up. It is a difficult spot since it is meant to be supported by work cover so I don't know if they would accept me without their permission. I have rang my case worker this morning but yet to hear back from her.

The joys of living regional is that everything seems to be over an hours drive away, including my psych and pdoc. And with tomorrow being a public holiday I don't expect to hear back from anyone anytime soon. I don't really have any supports that are close to me.

I try to get through each day but they just seem to get harder.

Hey @Snowie . Im so sorry that things are just getting harder for you. Hopefully work cover get back to you soon.

Thinking of you

Sounds like we are both waiting to hear back from others about our situation @Captain24

I hate relying on others about my mental health. No wonder I try and keep things from everyone.

Waiting is so hard @Snowie. Especially when no one will tell you what’s going on.

I will be keeping my MH to myself now too. Definitely not sharing anything with work.

It is hard @Captain24

I know they have to follow procedures but they don't seem to think of the person having to wait.

I am over the games the play, over the wait, over the torment.

thank you for giving me the extra context @Snowie. I grew up regionally (and plan to back to the country at some point), and remember mum always talking about how difficult it was to see a GP and get treatment. it feels so unfair.

It's understandable that it's feeling harder each day. What can the community do to support you?
