Hi,

Moved to country Vic a while ago to try a and find peace and contentment. Alas I’m still every place I go. No support no access to psychiatric help, all taken up with COVID problems. I’m 52 haven’t found anything to help yet....

Hello Bev, thanks for reaching out. Im very sorry that you have received no mental health support. Have you made an appointment with a GP, that is a good starting point. A GP will go through a questionare with you and then put you on a mental health plan. The plan will allow you free sessions with a psychiartrist. If you feel that you need to speak to somebody now, I encourage you to reach out to the beyond blue phone line.

If you would like to Bev, you can get a few things off your chest here in the forum. We are all here to listen to you as a way of support. The best thing I have found that has helped with my mental health is to talk about it. I feel so much better, holding it in can be quite distressing.

So Bev I am all screen (ears) if you would like to talk.
