Desperate for help :)

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 🙂

Re: Desperate for help :)

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?

Re: Desperate for help :)

Thank you for your reply. I don't even know where to start. I am just sooo scared. I just had multiple clots in both my lungs 5 months ago and since then I am not coping at all. It seems to have tipped the scale too far to the other side and all I keep thinking is.. I am going to die and my 2 small kids are not going to have a mum.

Re: Desperate for help :)

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?

Re: Desperate for help :)

I like to be out doors, use to go swimming everyday and lots of reading. Studying. Currently nothing. Too sore to move and anxiety through the roof

Re: Desperate for help :)

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 Heart In addition, the SANE Help Centre is open 10am-10pm weekdays. You can book a call here Smiley Very Happy You're not alone @MaryBeth1
