A first step.

For awhile I’ve thought I should see some sort of counselor or therapist or something. As a few people might have picked up on I’m not exactly the happiest and most stable person around. I get sad a lot, like a lot… for no reason.
On my livejournal I wrote an update on the situation with my mother - Tekanji read it and told me that she was abusive and violently so, and perhaps I should see a therapist about it.
N’you know. It’s not like thats been the only traumatic thing thats happened in my life.

So I told her that when I next went to see the doctor I’d ask him about it, that happened tonight.

He suggested I call a bunch of different places, like people under the psychology section of the phone book. He also suggested I talk to friends, ask if they’ve ever seen anyone and to see if I can get a good recomendation. He told me a lot of counselors do medicare and bulk billing, which just sounds fantastic. I was scared that sort of thing would cost a lot of money.
Thankyou Australian healthcare system!

To be able to get medicare I’d need to do some 20 minute ‘healthcare plan’ at the doctors, and thats after I’d have found someone good.

I don’t know. Asking the doctor seems like a good first step.
