That's really good news @Saltwaterdreamtime :) A big weight now off your shoulders. What are your plans for the rest of the afternoon? ... View more

Good afternoon! Hoping everyone is safe and well.   To kick things off, here is our first question for the week: How would you define "help"? How do you find out which supports would meet your needs? ... View more

Hey @hobojohnson it’s been a little while since you’ve posted, just wanting to check in to see how you’re going? ... View more

Hey @MB95, I’m catching up with some of this thread. I’m sorry that you’re still feeling really down. If you’re feeling that your sessions with your psych are making you feel worse, then I think it’s very wise to take a break. These negative thoughts are so draining aren’t they? Sending you lots of hugs   Just wanted to give you a quick heads up that I needed to edit an earlier post from today, no biggie though. :) ... View more

A little late in the evening (but hey, it's still Friday :p). I thought in the current climate, a flowers theme would be nice.     First up is @Saltwaterdreamtime for  seeing some positives in the midst of a very tough situation.     @Eden1717 for your compassion and understanding in this post. We particularly liked your line "you don't have to suffer in silence" - it's such an important thing to be reminded of.     @Asche for sharing so much insight into your experience and wisdom advocating for mental health awareness. This was such an empowering conversation to have, and you have really given us food for thought.     @Bananatime04 for this generous response to a user who was struggling with similar issues to them. Letting people know they are not alone is so important, and something you did so well.     And finally a shoutout to @hellofriend, @Janine-RO and @scared01 for s haring some lovely, self compassionate quotes this week!     Have a good week everyone!   If you see a post you think deserves a Friday Five, nominate it here! ...

Hey @Steets, just checking in to see how you're going with everything?   Just wanted to give you a quick heads up that I've made a small edit to your first post to remove information about the dosage. No harm done, it's just that we can't have that on the forums as part of our community guidelines. I hope this is alright. ... View more

@Saltwaterdreamtime Sending you lots and lots of hugs     This whole situation doesn't make much sense, and I too am struggling to understand why it's happening and how it's going to affect all of us. It's a very heavy burden that you're carrying, but please know that you don't have to carry it alone. ... View more

@Saltwaterdreamtime I can see that you're really struggling with the uncertainty about what lies ahead. It's definitely not fair after all the work you have put in over many years to build your relationships and your career. I've witnessed your growth over a few years now, and have confidence that all the skills and experience that you have gained will help you get through this extremely difficult time. I really admire that you can see some small positives in this time, such as your big walk today.   It sounds like you are being as proactive as you can be under the circumstances, applying for jobs and getting out of the house. Good luck with your applications! I hope your appointment at the hospital goes well mate.   Whatever happens on this journey, we'll be with you all the way. ... View more

Hey @Bananatime04, just catching up on this. I'm so so happy for you that you've found a great psychologist that you connect with really well! :)   In answer to your question about what happens after the first 6 sessions, it depends on how your sessions are being funded. If you have received a Mental Health Care Plan as part of your referral, you receive 6 sessions free, then following a review from your GP, can access a further 4 free sessions. After that, you will be able to receive sessions that are either paid, or funded through private health funds. Perhaps you could ask your psychologist about this on your next visit? We also have this wonderful post which helps to explain things a bit further, although it needs an update.   I hope this helps. ... View more
