This is an amazing post @frozenA
And I think it's something a lot of us can relate to, one way or another. Personally, I struggled with the accessibility. I grew up in rural Victoria where it was very hard to find a psychologist in the area. Also, where I grew up, there was a lot of stigma around mental health and there was a lot of the negative talk of 'man up'.
I also struggled with finding someone who was the right fit for me. Unfortunately, I didn't have many options but the first psychologist I saw, I thought she spoke a lot more than I did and I left feeling like I didn't actually get to explain what I was going through and how I was feeling.
My greatest wish is that everyone has access to mental health support and that it is absolutely someone who suits them.
