I put on my grown up pants today and called to book in for a new mental health plan and reached out to a psych for an appointment. She specialises in depression and trauma but can also do adult adhd assessments so I'm hoping she can help me unpick some things. I'm not in crisis (which I have been every other time I've sought help) so I'm feeling partly good about this and partly feeling like I am wasting everyone's time and they will think I'm bunging it on .... and that folks is why I need help unpicking some stuff !
But geez louise there's proper money required even with the rebates. faark this system - It shouldn't be a privilege to be able to seek help.
Good on you for doing such a positive thing for yourself. I know what you mean about the rebates; 10 subsidised sessions and you're on your own. I've had the same issues with elder Minipeeler needing therapy this year.
