My battle with depression,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
--------------------------------------------------
THERE is a swag of things I've done in my life about which I shudder with embarrassment - little chestnuts such as calling Midas Mufflers looking for shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], only to realise I've called Midas Mufflers.
Walking through a nightclub in fluorescent light,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wondering why a bunch of blokes were cheering me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], only to realise I had my skirt tucked into my white undies.
Falling down a pothole outside a reasonably cool pub when I was 19 years old. Rocking up to a shoot for MTV after a very,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], very bad spray tan only to find out the shoot had been cancelled because I looked a little too Something about Mary. And so it goes on.
One thing I was embarrassed about for a short time - but never will be again - is the fact that I went through depression. That's just part of life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a part that so many others are still struggling with.
There are things I now find hard to fathom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], given all of the amazing spiritual and natural therapists who helped me through this part of my life. But back then when I "suspected" I wasn't well, I thought my only option to get well was to head off to my GP and admit that I thought I had depression.
Which I did. And after a consultation - briefer than times I've gone in battling bronchitis - I left the clinic with a prescription for Zoloft,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and apparently that was that.
I took the pills, seemingly my only hope, but as I took the first lot my eyeballs rattled around in my head, the panic set in and I felt I had nowhere else to turn.
I instinctively knew that for me - like the line out of the Verve song "The drugs don't work, they just make it worse" - that pills were not my cure. And I felt so alone.
By chance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and no thanks to our system, I found the Adelaide Healing Energy Centre and they counselled me through the dark and back into the light. And I'll tell you why I'm so grateful my story had a happy ending.
Last weekend a man who was a Facebook friend of mine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and dear friend to many South Australians, took his own life.
Last Thursday he was admitted to hospital - the third time in three weeks - with self-inflicted, gaping knife wounds to both arms that required about 30 stitches. He apparently pleaded to stay in care but was sent away as it was deemed he was "not a risk to himself".
This is a man whose friends and family now have to live with the haunting images he posted on Facebook, complete with a noose around his neck, 20 minutes before his death. A man who also posted photos of his wounds after being dismissed as "not a risk", with a message which read: "This is the left wrist of someone that suffers depression and binge drinks."
So I ask you all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], why is our Government still failing us in regards to mental health?
Why are we sending people off with a packet of pills and presuming the job's done,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
And why in God's name are we denying a hospital bed to people who are pleading for help,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? People with the gaping wounds to prove things are not right,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
In the last week of this man's life he wrote: "3 times in hospital in 2 weeks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! Still not committed. Still not prescribed.
