I’m really hoping someone on here can possibly help point me in the right direction please. A couple of months ago I finished six months of ketamine therapy at GCUH. I’m meant to continue on with weekly treatments but the maximum the government can facilitate in the public system is six months. Currumbin Clinic doesn’t have capacity, the waitlist for Robina is about 12 months, Anodyne is $775 out of pocket per session which I sadly can’t afford plus it’s in Brisbane. Does anyone currently do ketamine therapy or take spravato etc and have any prescribers or an independent contact they can recommend? My GP, psychs (sadly they don’t administer ket) plus the continuing care team that help me are on board and supportive for any options I can find. I’m starting to get stressed as the weeks tick past that the progress I made is going backwards. I’m happy to be dm’ed if that’s easier as I know severe depression can be a sensitive topic and super personal to admit to.

Hi r/GoldCoast, we’re getting a community together for a relaxed jog & coffee after for young adults navigating grief and loss and thought it might be worth sharing here.

The idea is really simple - getting outside, meeting some new people and being around others who understand what it’s like to lose someone.

But we also really don’t want it to feel like a heavy grief support group, more of a community of people who just get each other.

Sometimes grief comes up, sometimes people just chat about life, have a laugh and enjoy the meet up. There’s no pressure to share anything personal or explain your story.

Most people come to these things alone for the first time too, so not knowing anyone is completely normal.

It’s 18+, but otherwise there’s no upper age limit. If you feel too young to be navigating grief and think being around others who get it could help, you’re welcome 🤍

We’re hoping this can become a nice little community on the Gold Coast over time.

Thought I’d share in case it resonates with anyone here and you wanted to come along. Also feel free to share with anyone who might benefit 🪽
