Dear ‘Bout Time Crew!!!
'Nuff Respect, Kudos, and Vast Appreciation on your Magnificent, Pertinent and Poignant Periodical that just keeps getting better. WORD UP!!!
My name is Andrew. Home and away on steroids story, but I continue to laugh in the face of adversity and am only getting stronger and more determined to continue in my life of service to others... Your paper certainly helps a lot!!! I especially wish to thank Carollyne Youssef for the 'Finding Yourself Again' article. So powerful!
Interestingly, I had one call-up for psych services who agreed with my self diagnosis as a counsellor of many years as a PTSD case. I shop fronted to see them again over 6 weeks ago but they must be too busy. I have not seen a counsellor apart from in reception, over 14 weeks ago. I am not the only mental health casualty here, but at least we have each other in the camaraderie you described recently.
I don’t have to preach to the choir to you about lacks in the system in these regards. I did 8 years in the U.K. and I’d rather be here if I had to do time I think... Love your work! KEEP IT UP!
P.S. I have been studying Aboriginal traditional law – some concepts admirably summed up in Tyson Yunkaporta’s magnificent 'Sand Talk: 'How Indigenous Thinking Can Change the World'. Highly recommended.
PEACE – Andrew
