Bahahaha, hilarious. I used to throw water bombs over the fence at cars, until i hit one and it decided to stop...

Mum said she spoke to Headspace today who told her that they have a really big waiting list, it could be up to 12 weeks before I see anyone

[CMF]

Hi Jackson,

It's great that your Mum called. Ok 12 weeks is a long wait, how about going to your GP and getting a referral as you will probably get in somewhere sooner? Your Mum could go with you if you feel a little nervous.

[Jackson1994]

I think I needed a referral anyway but she wanted to call up and find out some more about it. It's disheartening, obviously it's not anybody's fault but still tough. Kinda looked like a cool place to go, but I can't wait 3 months. Looks like GP is the next option. 😳

[CMF]

Yeah i know it is disheartening for you but definitely too long to wait. Have a chat to your gp as you need to anyway and see where it goes from there.

Finally reached out for help and got knocked back it sucks. I'm so scared about going to my doctor. Maybe all this isn't even worth it. Maybe if I just put all my focus into surfing and other stuff it will go away.

Hey Jackson, it's not a knock back, it's just a bump in the road. We all have them as we are on a journey, you haven't been knocked back you just need to take a different path. It's ok.

what do you think scares you about going to your dr? You would need to go anyway I think to go to headspace.

you can focus on others things but I don't I will make it go away, you need to get it out as you've kept it in so long and tried to deal with it alone. You need support, like coming here.

its going to be ok, what is scary about the dr?

[Jackson1994]

I don't like going to the doctor for physical health concerns so mental health concerns is even worse. It's just not knowing what they might say or make me do

[CMF]

Ok , yep I hear you. I used to not like it too because I was scared of finding out something was wrong and what would need to be done. We are scared to hear the worst.

In this case You only need to go to get a referral for a psychologist. They shouldn't make you do anything but just have a little chat. If your Mum could go with you I think you would feel much better. Also at the bottom of this website under 'get support' there is a section called 'find a professional' . I was just looking at it and you can find a psychologist in your area and read their profile.

Oh yeah there's a few around here
