G'day @StuF how goes it man? Just wondering if you have a case worker?

[StuF]

@TAB 

Happy Easter?? They look like some pretty ordinary chocolate eggs!

[StuF]

Hey @Bill16 . It goes ok thanks. You?

Nah, no case worker. Weekly group, fortnightly psychiatrist (bulk bills now) and another psych that I need to see to qualify for the groups. He's just a phone call every 8 weeks ($160 for 1/4 of an hour...). Private health covers group.

Oh, and psychologist on mental health care plan

[Bill16]

Ok good one @StuF 

[StuF]

Yeah @Bill16  - I certainly can't complain about a lack of support

How often do you see your caseworker?

[TAB]

..they work well for constipation tho @StuF  you get someone to beat you over the head with one while sittingon toilet ..lol ..  

yah nah minus 1 deg 2nite, keep the choclit lol ...

[Bill16]

See case worker for 4 hours once a week @StuF psychiatrist every month and psychologist thrown in there too

[StuF]

Hmmm @TAB  - I might stick with more medicinal based methods for constipation lol

But yeah, that's cold enough, I guess!

[StuF]

That sounds quite good @Bill16 

Is the caseworker a public or private thing?

[TAB]

it was a cartoonin american penthouse 1980s @StuF  guy getting his missus to clock him over the head while on toilet to try and loosen something up .. lol
