@Geoff, @Maggie @mufasa @theposterboy @eth
I emailed multiple GP's in my area. Explaining I have bad social/phone phobias. Tend to run and lie.
Asked multiple gps, as I said, if any doctors had a passion/experience in mental health problems..
I will say this again: I emailed them STATING I had a social and phone phobia.
The only replies I got where:
1) Call between these hours.
2) Come in and make an on spot appointment.
3) We are full. (this is for a bunch of counsellors/psychs available through medicare online. NOT WEBCAM!)
So.. so.. what?

Contacted someone new.
They offered to take me to gp.
I said no thanks and blocked them.
What is wrong with me

@Rothman Have you tried Lifeline , I think they have a text chat line. @Lifeline 131114. I’m not sure if that’s what you are looking for.
I hope you are ok enough.

No one else cares/normalized. So don't care. Happy birthday to me. I'm alone cause boyfriend forgot to put leave form in. And no present from bf/father again cause "didn't have time" again. A year isn't long enough? Oh well. Hope y'all well

Hi
Sorry things are balls.
You said "what is wrong with me". I'm not sure, but I could give you a thesis on what's wrong with mental health support that makes people feel broken for responding to existence in really human ways. Plus, what's with "here's our number" and "I'll take you to the GP" in response to "I'm scared and need XYZ help for it to be effective"? Massive dickheads. You're marvellous for staying alive in the face of that shit.
NDIS can pay for stuff. It can be an interesting journey to get onto it. I'm not on it, but I know a bit about it. If you're fed up with bureaucracy, the NDIS will impress you even more. It can be life changing for some. Might be worth exploring, might not. Let me know if you have specific questions about it.
I see that you "can't anymore" and raise you a "but you're doing it, even though it sucks and you feel like death warmed up".
Power and strength exist in you. All the best.
