Mental health

Mental health

Hi everyone. Im new to this . I have battled mental health for my whole life , I am 45 ! I have recently gotten tired if you know what I mean and joined private insurance to get me into private care but I have to wait the 2 month waiting period b4 i can go in. This is proving to be so very difficult. Im trying to hold down a job which is beyond hard . I have 2 beautiful kids and a amazing partner who save my life . You know they keep me here. My mind feels like a freight train that dosnt stop and a cloud of darkness that the sun dosnt visit much anymore. Ive lost me and im scared. Any advice will be lovely. Hugs and kisses to my warriors

Re: Mental health

Just noticed your latest post was deleted @AMBERLK - that would be because you mentioned a medication name ...happens to all of us sometimes - our guidelines do not allow the mention of med names so you may be asked to edit that part so your post can go up.

What kind of dog do you have @AMBERLK I have a little white Maltese Shih Tzu named Toby - he is pretty well known on here 🐶 I also have a cat that we call Cat here and a Hermit Crab. I bought 3 for the kids at school last year and this little fella has survived for over a year - must be a record.

Re: Mental health

Hi @AMBERLK

It is very hard having to wait for the help you need. Four years ago I needed to wait for the private health waiting period. I assure you it is worth the wait! I struggled so much in the public system, the private system is AMAZING! I know it is a struggle right now. I just wish someone had told me how amazing private health was a lot earlier in my therapy. I hope this information gives you hope and gives you something to look forward to.
