Also, I found that when I got connected with ONE awesome therapist/pdoc etc, it opened up connections everywhere through word-of-mouth.

Since being in the public system, I’ve never had to go and find my own supports. One support led to the next.

However, I had to be willing to give everything a go. 

I had a treating team (case manager, psychologist, psychiatrist, registrar); then I had a peer worker, psychosocial worker, women’s health program facilitator, dietician, exercise physiologist.. then through this, Ive got access to a leisure centre, Zumba classes and dance classes (all free of charge). Honestly, I never went out looking for these supports… it just ‘happened’ and it all started with ONE person who had a heart to care.

 So please don’t give up on looking. There ARE supports out there.

And @SanSan , some of these were accessible online which means regional people can also access these services. Just need to keep looking! Perhaps if you connect with someone on the guided service, they will be able to link you up with services too.

Keep going my comrades!

there’s no victory without a battle!
