Hi, I’m new to forums altogether. I was diagnosed with complex PTSD late last year. I have suffered from anxiety attacks for more than 30 years, 20 of those I didn’t know what they were. I just thought I was going crazy! I was physically, mentally and verbally abused as a child then had a traumatic experience at 17. From there the trauma didn’t really stop.
Call me lucky....... sorry sarcasm is second nature to me.... suicide.....I have planned it multiple times and come very close. Self harm and physical pain I don’t feel. A GP once started to cut out a mole then gasped that he forgot the local, I told him to just keep going.... at least I could feel something! I learnt how to breathe this year and it made me vomit and pass out! I hadn’t taken a deep breathe in years! My brain and lungs went into overdrive!
My question is my appointments have run out, apparently to see a psychologist, you are only allowed 10 a year through Medicare rebate? I can’t afford the full cost. What do you all do for the second half of the year? I was only just starting to make progress and now feel myself slipping back again...pushing people away. I don’t think I can bare to go back again....
