New to AU

Hello,

I've recently moved to AU from New Zealand in the last few weeks and my normal support structures are either gone or less accessible. I have been managing my diagnosis of PTSD through frequent psychology sessions funded through the NZ government. However, now I am in Australia this is no longer the case. It has been so hard going from having my main support system accessible to now being on my own. I have a really supportive partner which helps. I am just struggling to adjust. I know I am strong enough to do this but recently I have been having moments of doubt and tears. It is overwhelming moving to a new country and becoming established. There is a lot more friction that I didn't expect with accessing health services here. Things I took for granted back home are starting to become a reality. Accessibility to services here seems slower and layered with multiple steps. I received my medical notes today from NZ to take with me to a new GP. Reading these were very confronting because there was a lot of information which I hadn't seen before in relation to previous doctors visits relating to my PTSD from upwards of 5 years ago. I now have the challenge of finding a medical provider who I feel safe to share this with and be vulnerable about some of the hardest times of my life. 

Today has been a hard day. I know that tomorrow will be different. Just being able to write this out has already made me feel lighter and calmer.
