I am currently dealing with a complex PTSD and MDD health crisis resulting in physical paralysis and immobility, I have been dealing with acute symptoms and was hospitalised in February this year. I have been self funding my recovery, rehabilitation and therapy/ medication costs. After being let down by the public health system, being a fulltime artist, and losing my ability to work due to physical paralysis and mobility issues related to my nervous system, I am currently struggling to paint and have come to a place, where I am asking for community support.
 
where your donations are going...
-Obviously we all have the usual living costs, rent and food and art materials.
-Exercise physiology, weekly sessions with Zebras, working with a specialist trained to assist me with moving through my shutdown response and mobility issues. This is a form of somatic therapy and exercise physiology that is working through my nervous system shutdown response.
-Continuing psychotherapy with Clearthoughts psychology fortnightly check ins.
-GP appointments with Northside clinic, 3 week basis at the moment, checking in with medication control and perscription costs.
-cPTSD therapies, these are hard to find for my particular condition, I was on a waitlist and it took months to find the right person able to handle my symptoms. I have had my first consultation on the 2nd of July and will be working with a psychologist at Solace  starting mid July, on a weekly basis working with EMDR, Shema and IFS therapy, this process will be ongoing until about september and is the main therapy that I need financial support with.
 
It's not been easy to be so open about my mental and physical health, but I felt I needed to be open about my situation with you, and hope that this may also help with awareness for others dealing with their mental health.
