@tyme 

Thanks for the reminder about Daylight Savings. I had my alarm set for 5pm. Silly me.

Also I sent you an email 

[ArraDreaming]

I will be there… maybe a bit late, daylight savings has put everything back a step here

[Lumi_Fairy_Dust]

[tyme]

Thank you to all who joined @Lumi_Fairy_Dust @ArraDreaming @Oaktree @Shaz51 @MJG017 @Glisten @Louie333 @Macqua @Ainjoule @Patches59 and others.

Welcome to @Lumi_Fairy_Dust and @Louie333 who have joined us for the first time.

It was a great chat, and a few of the main points tonight included:

1) Looking to get SANE pamphlets to 'Spread the Word' about SANE.

2) The need for SANE's services in rural areas: @Shaz51 @ArraDreaming @Louie333 live in rural areas. @Louie333 is finding it very hard to access MH services.

3) @Glisten wants to know if @RachSANECEO sees and laughs at their jokes.

4) The community want to get to know @RachSANECEO more.

5) Members reminded to connect with us on the forums Thursday 10th October 2023 10am-12pm AEDT.

6) @ArraDreaming will start a thread where members are asked to share how they came to know about SANE.

Feel free to add anything I've missed! Oh, and @ArraDreaming wants an LC...

[ArraDreaming]

Yes, CEO here,
Would like a Landcruiser 79 series or 200 series. Good chat gotta go will make thread tomorrow

[tyme]

Oh yes everyone... @ArraDreaming is a CEO... signed a document at work where the CEO was supposed to sign. Goodness knows if he sold his workplace or agreed to a multi-million dollar deal?!?!

[RachSANECEO]

Thanks for the tag @tyme - please remind me when we get to November and I’ll come join one of these. 

in the meantime for those wanting to get to know me a bit more here’s a podcast interview I did a while back with Osher who used to be on the Board of SANE

i usually can’t bear to listen back to interviews I’ve done but I liked this one because I got to tell stories

@glisten I always like a joke or a pun, am especially fond of memes in the SANE Ice Memery and I often lurk a bit and read threads and laugh at the jokes

@RachSANECEO 

Thank you for sharing your podcast with Osher. I was saying me too to what you said about your family’s reaction to your diagnosis. I had no idea how common that kind of reaction was. I am so glad I listened to this before the event on Thursday. It gave me some clarity to my thoughts around the mental health system. You are so right, there is a lack of follow up in the system. It’s like as long as you are not bothering anyone they are glad to be rid of you. I have Bipolar so definitely a complex mental health issue. I have NDIS but it’s still difficult to get the supports that I require.
