Hi @Appleblossom and @Zoe7,

I hope you're both doing well today. The post was removed due to a forum guideline breach. The link shared contained graphic details of abuse. I have also emailed Appleblossom to further explain.

I hope you understand.

Warmest regards,

Sphinxly

Yes understand @Sphinxly Thanks for clarifying.

[Appleblossom]

@Sphinxly @Zoe7 Thanks for your clarification. I have not received an email.  I actually checked if Sane had sent me something before I posted it 2nd time.  I am receiving general Sane emails to my new address, but still not received anything specific. Perhaps you sent it to my old address?

Hey @Appleblossom,

I'm not too sure about it as there is one email address connected to your member name. If you like, you can email us at team@saneforums.org so we can follow up privately. Also, you can try searching your junk folder.

Warmest regards,

Sphinxly

He is right about societal drivers of mental illness.  That is a much better way of putting it than blaming family and carers.

Interesting to hear from a Gps perspective.  

Hmmmm Medicare structured mental health plans ... and the psychologists put up their fees ... for ...???  There should be no gap fee. Sheer Greed. I have paid plenty fees mind you, but gotten very little advice or appropriate support, Except from one.  Better psychology from the internet, and I wonder why I am left with a sense of outrage.

"Abundance of services for well heeled patients in wealthy areas" . .. I could have written that!

Dignity in the community would be nice, especially after feeling shamed by yesterday.

Interesting a few things coming together in Geel Flanders where St Dymphna escaped her father and set up mental health care.  CSA and grief and death.  Why does that not surprise me.   

@HappyCastle I tried to change email settings, but was prevented, and have sent another email to you.

Edited per emailed request.

Also I think emails settings are good again.

Dignity in the community would be nice but seems to big an ask and is not really up to me.
