Tired

I’m tired of a lot of things, of doing this thing called life alone. I chose not to have children after living a traumatic childhood till I was 13 and placed in stare care. I never experienced love from my family or my past boyfriends. I have spent my entire life feeling never good enough for people, in the last fifteen years after I left a relationship I have felt more distant then ever. I worked as much as possible so I was either tired and didn’t think about the loneliness. I lot a few contracts and started baking, giving the food away when I could afford to do so. I’ve rented for the last 15 years and have had to do one bad move which was very hard on me giving away a beautiful harden and accessories to people I thought were friends but users in the end as I only live 30kns away and they choose to have nothing to do with me. I only work one day now and am struggling with filling in time, I do exercise every day for an hour, but there’s still over 13 hours to fill in. As i live in Victoria near NSW I’m stuck because of the coronavirus in Melbourne and not allowed out of my state though my area hadn’t had any cases for 90 days.
Tired of making friends to be let down by then, one life friend said speak to the psychologist, so I speak once every 6 weeks. I really don’t see much point continuing my life, there’s only so much one can take and I feel like ending my life especially iff I cannot go to Queensland in December for Christmas which I have not had Christmas for over 35 years with anyone. I do not take drugs or drink alcohol, just extremely overtired of my living.

I’m stuck, the other persons rent below me went up $40 a week and I can’t afford that increase when my lease is up next month nor can I afford to move, I have no money and cannot carry a fridge, washing machine or couch by myself...

Is ur GP knowledgabe in the DSP/medicare processes, does he help a lot of ppl in these situations? It would be good to have someone who knows a lot about this. My GP works with many ppl who have large families and low income and has been quick on his feet with getting me assistance so I can stay afloat. I wouldn't know either what to ask - it's such a confusing system. Good luck!

Thank you, I only go to register doctors as it’s cheaper...my dr is a new Australian, I don’t know who the other patients are... there are no doctors who bulk bill here, even the specialist I see next month is a learner and I can’t afford that , $80 out of pocket...I went nearly 8 years ago same thing re specialist and there wouldn’t help me then either. I’ve been advised if you’re poor you basically get the brush off as they cannot make money from you...all these people just care about how much money they can make, no one seems to care about anyone these days....

Hi Delectable, I understand now, I live in Melbourne so didnt know exactly how it worked elsewhere.
In America where I lived it was the same - u culd not afford to go and medications also were not subsidised so u could not afford to be sick. Sometimes to be nice the doctor would give you a free sample pack of the medication needed so you could heal yourself quickly without having to shell out for a whole pack.
I also couldn't afford really to go to the dentist or eye doctor etc when I lived there. It was terrible. Not much help to tell ppl to go get help from professionals when that help is unaffordable.
I hope ur GP appointment goes well. I am sorry there are no bulk-billing GPs. I would agree with u that a lot of treatments in the private system is greed-based and they help based on profit.
My bulk-billing GP is stressed, time poor, and hours (HOURS!) late... but he isn't in it for the money. Perhaps he's one of few. They are hard to find.

Hi Delectable
It is very sad how shallow society is and how ppl make judgements so quickly based on exteriors - they really reflect so little about a person.
I'm sorry they're not helping u with ur teeth.
I wish you had more help from the system, which I acknowledge is fairly broken.
My friend was able to get his teeth fixed through VAAS as he is Aboriginal.
I was wandering if there is a public hospital near you that has any free services - therapy groups, or wellness groups. Or women's groups? To support women who have experienced any violence or abuse. I know of one in Melbourne that has a library and offers use of their computers and a few other things for free. I've used them.
I hope ur landlord doesn't raise the rent - have you been there a long time? Maybe they appreciate you as a good tenant. I also can't really afford my plcae and am lookig for something different.
I'm glad you've been enjoying some good food and get comfort from nature and watching the peaceful sky. Hopefully we have some nice weather coming up
