Hi everyone. I have severe anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, health anxiety and severe cronic health issues with insomnia. I have a mental health plan but unable to find a bulk billing psychologist. So this is my last resort 🙂

Hi @MaryBeth1 and welcome to the Sane Forums.
I am sorry to hear you are going through so much at the moment and are unable to find a psych.
That must be a hard place to be in. I too suffer from multiple mental illnesses so can understand, to some extent, where you are coming from.
I hope you find the support on here that you are looking for.
Would you like to tell us a few things about yourself?

That must be very scary for you @MaryBeth1
I also have two children. I worry all the time what my mental illness is doing them and how they are affected. Not the same I know as your worry about them not having a mum, but still a worry.
What do you like to do in your spare time/for fun?

Hi @MaryBeth1 I am sorry to hear of what you're going through. We need more free psychologists in this country, my hope is that is the future for all seeking mental health support. While I can imagine how hard it is to be in limbo without a face to face support, we are here in the mean time. Our community is very kind and empathetic, as you can see by our wonderful @Snowie 
In addition, the SANE Help Centre is open 10am-10pm weekdays. You can book a call here 
You're not alone @MaryBeth1
