@darwinemma just read your last post, we must have typed at the same time.  Sorry to hear it's rough for you.  I found it too easy to isolate there and have moved south for family support.  Have you tried the day to day living centre at Rapid Creek?

I was there 1974 for cyclone tracy, then 1976/7, then 2001 to 2016.  There aren't many groups for people with MH problems - that's why the forums here are so good.  There is a lot of support and usually you'll find common ground with some people.  Who agrees with me??
