Re: Depressed
@Alex32redden The appointments would be free. But I hear that you're in a very bad place and feeling hopeless. And also that professional counselling hasn't helped you in the past.
I'm sorry you're feeling so distressed. Do you feel able to go back to your GP tomorrow and tell him/her how you're feeling?

Re: Depressed
Just a clarification in regards to seeing psychologists with a MHCP @Alex32redden @NatureLover Most do bulk bill but there are some where there is a fee charged so if you are ever going to go down that road again then ask if they bulk bill first.
@Alex32redden In saying that I very much hear how frustrating and pointless you think things are right now and very reluctant to see anyone because of past experience. I was wondering what it is you would like from us here. Is it a place to vent, a place to seek support and/or a place to feel a sense of belonging - all of those are okay but knowing a little more about your needs may enable us to help you more.

Re: Depressed
As it is an anonymous forum @Alex32redden we are unable to advertise or promote any groups that anyone is a part of outside of the forum. It may be a good idea to contact the Help Centre on Monday to help you find supports/groups in your area.

Re: Depressed
Oh thanks @Zoe7 , I didn't know that - thanks for clarifying.
@Alex32redden I have to go soon, but hopefully the night owls will be around...If you want to speak to someone in particular, put a @ and a drop-down box will list names which you can click.
What would you like to see happen, @Alex32redden ? (To echo @Zoe7 's question)

Re: Depressed
No worries @NatureLover It is unfortunate that not all MHCP sessions are fully rebated by everyone but that is the system hey
Thanks for giving @Alex32redden the heads up on tagging too
@Alex32redden would it be worthwhile asking your GP for a referral to a psychiatrist? They are often way more knowledgeable on medications and can help in that area if your GP is simply upping doses.
