Something’s not right

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 don’t think there is anything wrong with needing support. It always helps to have multiple people on your support team. Do you know if there are any services you may be eligible for? It’s worth exploring 💗

Hi @Shaz51, I hope they can resolve the kidney issues with MIL 💗

Re: My special place

@Shaz51 sorry to hear about your MIL. What can they do to help her?

@creative_writer Because I live rural it is hard to find services around me. I would have to drive and hour to get to anything. I have tried the Sane Support but still waiting to hear back from them. It has been a long wait. I am relying on the support lines quite a bit lately.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, rural does make it more challenging. I hope SANE gets back to you soon, they are really helpful. I am approaching the end of my guided service. I think if the drop in works, you should reach out to them 💖🫂

@Shaz51 💖🫂

Re: My special place

@creative_writer I have been on the wait list for quite awhile now so I am hoping I hear something soon. It is hard to sit back and wait. Too many people, too few resources. But I guess that is MH altogether.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, it took me a while to get in too. A lot of MH services are under a lot of pressure. It’s also frustrating that Medicare only rebates 10 sessions now, 20 seems more reasonable

Re: My special place

That does make it difficult with medicare @creative_writer I'm not sure how they think only 10 sessions a year will help. That isn't even one per month. I am lucky in the sense that I can see my psych fortnightly and it is covered. I don't think I would be able to function without those sessions.

Have you planned dinner yet?
