There's Supposed to be a Post Here

Here's what's happened. I've promised myself I'd post something to this journal at least once a week, and try and make it something interesting and worthwhile. Problem is, at the moment, I'm going through something of a depressive patch, which means whenever I pull out one of the not-quite-done pieces I have stored on my hard drive, and try to get it into a shape where I'd be satisfied with posting it, I wind up with the brain-weasels attacking from all sides.

I won't bore you with the details of what the brain-weasels are saying. Suffice it to say they're invasive, vicious, and nasty, and they're not helping me have any confidence in any of my writing at this point. Or indeed, in anything I can do. It happens, depression sucks, I'll live through it.

But it does mean I'm not able to come up with a post at this present.

So, in the interests of fulfilling my promise to myself, let's just say this is this week's post, and have done with it. As per Douglas Adams, normal service will resume just as soon as I've figured out what counts as "normal" in the first place.

PS: If there's anyone in the Perth, WA area who happens to know the name of a psychologist who bulk bills and who has a space for new patients, I'd be overjoyed to receive the information.

I know of a clinic that bulk bills and takes new patients. It sounds amazing, and the only reason I am not going there is because the Midland office is up a long steep flight of stairs with no lift. :(

They have one office in Midland, and another office in Fremantle.

"Cygnet Clinic has a policy that all our clinicians see Health care card holders fully bulk-billed (you pay no gap). Clinicians who have exceeded their share of bulk-billed clients will not be available to take new bulk-billed referrals (i.e., Bulk Billed referrals are distributed evenly throughout the clinic)."

*hugs*

I know these feelings so very well. I write out entire posts and delete them, comments, etc. because I get stuck on the thought that nobody cares what I'm up to/what I have to say/that my words are useless/etc. (Which I know isn't true.)

Take your time, your words are important, and there are people out here rooting for you~ ♥

Bloody brain weasels.

This is a post, you did make it, it was worth making. Keep on living through the suckiness. I hope you can find a useful psychologist.
