Saw counsellor today, she is slowly getting more of an idea about me - it takes time to see the whole picture of what is going on.
We decided to do a few goal setting tasks and also write out a routine of what to do everyday.
Ive felt like I have been just drifting through life without any clue or direction, now I have a chance to take control of my life and choose my directions.
When I told her of the things in my life - Ie debt, living arrangements, job - my counsellor said 'No wonder you feel like you are floating along - she could understand how I felt"...
that was some relief to actually make plans for the future.. how to tackle each day.. was very helpful.
Am going to see my GP for a Mental Health Plan, so I can see this counsellor through Medicare. After that is used up I will need to pay my way.
Am feeling more hopeful.

Glad you are getting to know your counsellor and getting things started. You are right, it takes time too build up the rapport so keep at it.

Go Blue!!!
