Hi case,

I don't know anything about how the system works in Australia, but it sounds like you could use some therapy, and I feel that you shouldn't have to wait. Sooner would be better. Can your doctor help you to find any resources that might help you? Would your mum be willing to help out?

Writing can help a lot, but then it also can bring up feelings that are hard to deal with by yourself. I think that working through those feelings will help you, but I wish you could get some help with that - a safe place and safe relationship for sorting it out (therapy). If you want to stick around, people here can be a lot of help. We can't take the place of therapy, but you can find some support and people who understand, and that has helped me a lot.

Keep talking to us, and take care!
Wendy
