Thank you for showing how much you care ❤️ im really struggling even more now bc the father of my kids has broken my heart, basically he has been using me for several years for a free place to live,no bills to pay etc. I'm devastated and feel like a used peice of meat so to speak 💔 I'm absolutely guttered to find out he's never really loved me,iv always been good to him.i don't know how I'm going to cope as I have been struggling as it is.do you know of any psychologists around Cannington,Thornlie, Gosnells or near these suburbs that bulk bill? I want to get help as soon as I can,also if you know of any peer support workers I can contact? I feel extremely lost,numb and hopeless

hi lovely, I’m so sorry to hear your struggles, it can be so hard. If you see a bulk billing GP and get a mental health referral you will get 6 free psych. Sessions and then they will do a follow up if you need more. Keep reaching out and ring those other numbers that were provided, there is lots of help out there. We often find we are stronger than we think we are.
