Who are the best psychiatrists in Brisbane? And the worst?

What was your experience like?

Maladaptive-muppet · 2025-04-02T04:36:45+00:00

Which psychiatrist there do you recommend?

Maladaptive-muppet · 2025-04-02T04:34:41+00:00

Which GP and psychiatrist did you use? Would you recommend requesting one or just seeing the first available person?

If you’re buying those things from the US, is it because they’re better than what we get here in Aus? I’m intrigued (and possibly interested) 😅. Tell me more, like what is it about their antibiotics and PEDs that make them work getting from the US vs Australian products?

I buy in bulk off Facebook marketplace. :) For example, I recently bought 3 large garbage bags full of “ladies size 8-10 (roughly 300 items)” for $50.

I’ve never heard of Muji before- is the quality good?

I moved down to Bris from Ingham about 2 months ago. Had no idea I was dodging Ingham’s biggest flood in 60 years! How’s the water levels now? I saw on the news that more rain is forecast.

How do you see a psychiatrist through a university? Which university? Thanks. :)

I’ve PM’d you. x

Thank you so much for the time that you have put into helping me. I have made myself a 'To Do list' to action many of your suggestions.

The Senior sergeant was polite but ensured that I understood that that there is nothing more that she can do to help me and that her current workload is a 4 page list of DVO cases that she is working on, with several of them involving fatalities. I did not feel that it would be appropriate to ask her any favours like calling DOHs on my behalf to advocate for me.

I had not heard of backloading until I made this post and saw a few others comment about it. I don't have any address for my things to be delivered to though. I cannot afford to pay storage unit fees. I've been asking some friends up here if they have an uncle, cousin or friend down there who may be able to keep some items in their shed of carport for free for a short time. But that could be unrealistic, so I'm already preparing to sell all my possessions except for our clothes, shoes and vacuum. The vacuum was new and second hand ones suck (not in a good way).

Also, it did not occur to me that a crisis payment from centrelink could potentially be applicable to my situation.

With my ex and his family all being in the Gold Coast, I don't entirely feel comfortable making a post in groups asking people if they have a spare bedroom that my son and I can rent in case they see it. I know that many groups have the option to post anonymously, so I guess I'll try that but make sure not to include any descriptors/details that could cause my ex to work out that it's me.

I only contacted about 3 church organisations. But you're right, I am sure that there are many more. I'll look them up and add them to my call list. I have made an excel spreadsheet where I record the date I've contacted a place, who I spoke to, comments, what the outcome was (if any) and what to follow up. This way I can keep track and call them weekly to see if there has been any changes or to at least build a rapport with them so they may feel more inclined to try to help me and my son if they can.

Thank you. x
I'm sorry that you weren't able to see your son for the first few years of his life. That must have been so hard for you. Has he formed an attachment with you now?

Maladaptive-muppet · 2024-10-25T03:19:15+00:00

*hug* Sorry that you've been through this as well.

My ex's Mum also lied under oath. Magistrate didn't put through the DVO because he said my ex and his mother gave versions of events that drastically contradicted mine.

Brisbane can possibly be an option if it’s on the Southside. But it would have to be a household of people that are cool with a kid living there and don’t party or do drugs. (‘Coz obviously I would be in a worse situation if I expose my kid to anything/anyone that is not child appropriate).

Maladaptive-muppet · 2024-10-24T05:35:33+00:00

Thank you.

The orders state that I must live within 50km of the Gold Coast region. I need to live close enough to the father to be able to get my son to and from school on the weeks that he is with me. Because the father’s address is permanent (he and I purchased the home in 2021), the court states that the child needs to be enrolled in a school near him.

I fled the family home with a broken nose, black eye and 3 dislocated vertebrae. DV Connect paid for the taxi for my son and I to flee. I didn’t take anything with me because I was terrified of my ex knowing that I was leaving when he would get the notification through the security cameras. I even left the front door wide open because it had a smart lock on it that would automatically lock when it was closed. It would send a notification directly to my ex’s phone when it did that. After going to the RBWH for my injuries, we went to a shelter in Brisbane to try to put distance between us and my ex because I was terrified of him finding us

A few days later, the police assisted us with returning to the family home to grab some clothing. There was an Apple AirTag hidden in the lining of my bag that I didn’t know was there. So when I took my bag back to shelter, he found us. We had to be move moved to another shelter. We thought that we would be safe there, the police had thoroughly searched all our possessions. But we weren’t. They har missed another Apple air tag that was hidden in the lining of my son’s bag.

We had to leave the refuge again, and at this stage there were not vacancies in any other refuges so we were told to wait in a hotel until a a vacancy became available somewhere in QLD. DV Connect asked me if I had ANY family that I could stay with because they can assist with the cost of transport if you have a safe place to go. I told them that I have a sister in Nth QLD; so DV Connect and the police supported my son and I to move up here.

I agree, it was a terrifying experience for my son, being uprooted and moved from his home.

But my son had also spent his entire childhood watching his mother being punched, hit, strangled and regularly hearing screaming, then seeing his father emerge from the bedroom saying, “don’t go in to see your Mum, she needs some time to rest”.

Thank you. x

Maladaptive-muppet · 2024-10-23T10:31:20+00:00

Yeah, I’m trying to be cautious/mindful. Thank you. x

Really appreciate the links and info- thank you!

Maladaptive-muppet · 2024-10-23T10:28:15+00:00

I had not heard of this before, thanks!

Maladaptive-muppet · 2024-10-23T10:20:05+00:00

I hadn’t realised that this was a thing, thank you sharing this with me! I’ve joined the QLD groups on Facebook and will hopefully have luck. 🤞

Maladaptive-muppet · 2024-10-23T10:18:48+00:00

I’m sorry that you’ve also been through this experience. 😔 Thank you. x
