I know for certain that Dunedin Psychiatrists and Psychologists have been doing a "rotation" in Christchurch, 1) because of the many people asking for help to get through this ongoing disaster, and 2) half of the bloody psychologists based in ChCh have packed their bags and crossed the ditch. I have absolutely no time for psychologists .... 95% of them sit there and ask - "and how does that make you feel" - for $140 an hour. Ask one directly - and what do you think I should do, how should I feel ? - they haven't got an answer and put it back on you by saying - well what do you think is the best thing to do. Most haven't got a bloody clue what happens in the real world. Rant over ... and yes, I've been to see a psychologist ... would have had better luck trying to milk the neighbours bull.	SP8's (9836)

" What do you think " shovelling s h i t " after every big shake is, if that's not physical, what is . B l o o d y heavy stuff and sets like concrete . Lady over the road has been to the free Psychcologist help, after this last batch of quakes she is now in Ashbuton, so much for that help . She is due back Saturday and will no doubt be over sleeping with us again . A lot of folk need to come and stay here for a year and see how they cope . Lurking .	Lurking (218)

1251884	2012-01-03 09:20:00	Have to agree with Sp8's and Lurking posts 100%. Its bloody tough and does your head in day after day of it. There is a new problem arising as a result of it all, we call it "quake brain", but I'm sure there will be some technical term. Basically you just cant think straight anymore - like the GF last week accidentally putting brake fluid in the radiator header bottle in her car. Some people are doing all sorts of crazy random things that they wouldn't normally do. No Psychologist can help you there, only cure for that is time and no more damn shaking in my opinion. I know plenty of people after the 23rd Dec ones that just felt sick and exhausted, a mate of mine came over and spent about 2 hours sitting on the patio steps just sick to the stomach and hardly said a word. The last lot nearly broke him and I bet there are many out there close to the edge. The hospital has had a big increase in heart attack and heart related patients, even if we get no more quakes and the nutters dont predict any more to scare people, its going to take a generation before many get over this event. According to stats, around 10,000 have left Chch so far. There is no way you can really put into words whats its like (on the East side anyway), the only way to know is to experience it, and I wouldnt recommend it if you have a weak heart, have panic attacks or anything like that.

I dont envy you guys for a second and to realise how much this has affected you living down there, but i think you have answered your own question, also these people are only doing their job, would you want the EQC to give up due to difficult clients? I find it hard to understand why you dont just move away, but also i havent been through your experiences in the last near18 months hang in there guys.	Gobe1 (6290)
1251886	2012-01-03 12:26:00	Many cant just move away even if they would like to . For some Chch is all they know, for others its all they have got . As for EQC (and Jenny Shiplys mob), they are digging their own hole quite nicely without having difficult clients . There are emerging some real horror stories about how they are treating clients and unless you stand up to them and moan, they will ride all over you and you wont get what you are entitled to (getting the damage the earthquakes have done repaired) . All most people want is their home to be safe and to try and get on with their lives, its hard to do that when your chimney has come through your ceiling or your bricks have fallen off the side of your house, your house is 400mm lower at one end and you cant open or close the doors in your house etc etc . On top of that the criminal element are trashing every vacant house, you cant go for a holiday because you can be assured when you get back you wont even have as much as a hot water cylinder remaining if they think it is not occupied .
