omg I think I ended up with multifocals @Snowie no wonder they near-emptied my account!! I mean... there's part of me that wonders if I do need glasses yet and whether they just wanted to sell me! Probably 😑

I’m scared to call @tyme. I get all anxious. I can’t handle to stress of talking to someone that doesn’t know me.
I know you don’t like it when I’m like this. So it’s ok if you want to bail.

Fair enough. I don't like calling either. I guess Lifeline has a text service if you want. @Captain24
"I know you don’t like it when I’m like this. So it’s ok if you want to bail."
Nah, it's not about 'not liking'. I actually have no feelings. I neither like nor dislike. Maybe I get concerned?

@Captain24 💗💗
@Jynx I pay for private health cover so going to get every cent out of it that I can!!
Sometimes I do think that they just do it to get money out of you too!

Hey @Snowie !
I have private health, but I don't tend to get what I pay for. I only use it for glasses and dental.
Or maybe I just be grateful that I haven't had to use it for anything else?
This private health thing is annoying. Much of me wants to cancel it, but I feel that as soon as I cancel it, I will need it lol

I’ve never gotten through on LL chat @tyme. I have tried a couple of times.
I told @Jynx I wouldn’t be vocal in here anymore so I should just not say anything. Just attempt to deal with it myself. It’s pretty bad though.
I tried that talking thing @Jynx but my dogs just looked at me like I was silly. It turns out that I just can’t voice it.

@tyme I use as much as I can. Glasses, dental, psych, massages, chiro, pharmacy, physio. If I pay for it then I'm going to use it!
My cover I can to an extent pick and choose what I'm covered for.
I don't want to use it for hospital if I don't have too!
It does help with the wait times. D got her wisdom teeth out last year. If we didn't go private she would still be waiting!
@Jynx adulting is very hard. Sometimes I just want to forget it all. Banks, loans, payments, business urgh!!!

What about Beyond Blue? @Captain24 Have you tried them? I'm not sure how they are though.
Do you feel physically yuck which is then affecting your MH? Or is it your MH talking too loud?
Looks like you've got all of us here to keep you company. Is it the same thoughts troubling you whereby you can use rescripting?
@Snowie , I've got all of those benefits, but I don't use any of them... I don't want to go chiro and i HATE massages lol. If they touch me, I might hit them! No thanks lol. BUt if I move down a level in private health, then I lose MH cover.
