Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!

Thanks for the update @Molliex I am sorry things are so difficult. Its really hard paying so much money to get good help for mental health issues. I hope you can work out the best path for yourself and your daughter.

I am glad you have a doctor you have faith in, that's one up compared to a lot of us here.

Take care and keep reaching out for support if you need to.

😊❤️💐💐🍀

Hey @Molliex , I'm hearing you re the increase in private health insurance. I went through the same thing two years ago. We had to pay more for insurance then wait two months to go to hospital. The wait was stressful when I was so unwell, I'm so sorry to hear how you're going, it breaks my heart xx

I hope the new med helps in the meantime while you wait to get into a good psychiatrist.

Sending hugs

@Molliex You are in my thoughts Molliex. I really feel overwhelmed with where you aree atm. Unfortunately I am of little use except to say that try breaking things up into segments. Like would you consider a public hospital stay over a private? If not then private it is. Then if private is way to expensive then look for a psychiatrist of which is hard as they are hard to find and are expensive as you have stated. To be honest too you want a good psychiatrist not just any one either so be fussy.

I can understand that you are feeling like you are drowning under the weight of it all. Then there is the tiredness (which I know only too well). Sheesh I dont think I have helped at all :(. Except to say that I am listening and am here with you. Love peaxx

Thanks @Gazza75. I'm aware how lucky I am to have such a good GP. He even teaches other GPs about MH and I know he truly cares about me. Obviously, not bulk billed though, so another cost..

Thanks for your support @MDT. Sorry about your pants! 😊

Thanks @Angels333. It sucks its so damn hard and so expensive to get good help. Going to call my insurance tomorrow to find out exactly what the costs would be. Hopefully I can find a psychiatrist that can see me this year (!!!!!). Hugs 🌻💕

You have helped @Bunniekins. I can't tell how much you care, and that means so much. 💕

Unless I present as an immediate safety threat, public isn't really an option. There's a specific programme my GP thinks would really help me at a private hospital nearby.

Finding psychiatrist is the first step. Trying to stay out of the darkness.. 🌻🌼
