Looking after ourselves

Re: Psych Appointment

Thankyou @HenryX 

I very much like your answer to the anticipated question because I very much do feel aprehensive. I have been anxious yet eager to get an appointment as I wanted to get back in before I changed my mind about seeing the psych. I think it's definitely the way forward. By the way don't go see the new movie called 'Old' because I saw it today and it evokes a strong emotional reaction with regards to the shortness of life. 2 of our group ended up in the tears. We are away on a trip with a mental health organisation. Thanks so much again for the thoughts you have shared with me about my post.

Re: Psych Appointment

Hello @Oaktree  and @HenryX 

what great advice you give Henry, looks like you have missed your calling! 

Meggle, I was wondering is the mental health organisation you are on a trip with part of what the govt. clinic organise or is it something that they referred you to?

 

hi to @Blep too! Hope you all have a wonderful day. 

Re: Psych Appointment

Hi @Former-Member 

It was a stand alone organisation that the public clinic referred me to. I have a support worker and we do a one on one and a couple of groups each week (walking group and arts and crafts group). Sometimes they throw a barbecue as well. I was with this organisation before I got the NDIS but now I am NDIS funded with this organisation. Hope this helps.
