So alone

I think the worst part is feeling so alone . Whenever I try to book a psychologist apptment there is always a few weeks wait . And when I try to book one it means that I need it . The lack of support for mental health is so debilitating at times

G'day Rainbow97,

Welcome to beyondblue forums.

Isolation isn't particularly pleasant hey. One good reason to participate on these forums I reckon, connecting with people.

I never really got much out of single sessions with psych providers. Instead aim to book regular appointments so that you can anticipate your needs. Maybe book your next 4 appointments all at once. Ya gotta know how to work the system.

Has a GP provided u with a mental health plan? You might be able to access some free sessions and widen the help available. It's better to over book your psych services than under book, I hope that makes sense.

Why'd you pick Rainbow97 as your avatar name?
