My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

@Snowie ❤️ , I'm sorry the appointments were cancelled without them notifying you. Maybe exploring what other supports may also be available for you is worth exploring. Like your psychologist, mine also tends to be booked out, so I am seeing a counsellor through another service and have regular appointments with a peer support worker from SANE. You always have us on the forums, I also find the SANE drop-in service helpful for in-between appointments.

Re: My special place

@Snowie As @creative_writer and @Captain24 have suggested - you need more support Hon. Relying on one person is not sustainable - especially when they are not going to be there for a length of time and/or do not communicate that to you. You need more regular support - someone you can see regularly and do things with. It may just be a little help around the house but the company would help. If work cover cannot pay for this (which they should) are you able to cover it yourself? It has been way too long and way too much for you to deal with on your own Hon ..you need more support 💙💙💙

Re: My special place

Thanks @creative_writer @Captain24

We have a small emergency department but from past experiences I would be sent home or told to go to another hospital about an hour away. Guess that is what happens when you live rural.

I have looked into other services and waiting to hear back from some.

@Zoe7 I know I need more support. I just don't know how to get it. I have looked into local things before. I can pay for it. I can't live like this.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, navigating MH is tricky. I realised that I needed more than my psychologist last year when I was in a crisis and got referred to HOPE (Hospital Outreach Post-Suicidal Engagement). I was with HOPE for a while, before discharge, they tried finding services for me that I was eligible for. I hope you hear back from the services you’ve been looking into.

Re: My special place

Can your GP help with more support @Snowie ...or talking to SANE drop in service - they may have some suggestions for your area. I wish I was there to help you my sweet friend. Seeing you in so much pain is heart breaking so I can only imagine how you are feeling. Love you 💙💙💙

Living rural makes everything so much harder @Snowie

Re: My special place

@Zoe7 I can't see my gp for another week and a half. She has no appointments earlier. I just rang the practice. It is what it is.

@Captain24 rural does suck sometimes.

Re: My special place

Are you on a cancellation list at least then @Snowie? I know you fear if you tell them how bad it is then hospital again is a real possibility but you do need support right now. Try SANE first and if that does not help then please call your GP practice again Hon.
