Corrina Rawlinson recounts a recent mental health breakdown in which she experienced suicidal thoughts and could not access psychiatric care for three weeks due to long wait times. While awaiting the psychiatrist she travelled to Perth to try naturopathy and hypnotherapy; a naturopath described her body as being at the ‘rev limiter’ and subsequent results indicated she was in a severely unwell state.

And so when I had the breakdown and my family was like, what's actually going on? And I was like, I want to die, I don't want to be here anymore. I was actually able to say to them, my doctor is aware and we kind of have a bit of a plan. But my plan is not happening right now. I can't get in to see the psychiatrist for another three weeks. Gosh, I love wait times. And so in that three weeks, I, I was like, obviously I'm not well, so can I fly to Perth? Can I go see naturopath? Can I go see a hypnotherapist? Can I do all this? And my family was like, just go, let's try and sort this mess out. And remember the naturopath, she did this little scan and she's like, literally your body is like at the rev limiter. Like it is like, change gears please, or slow the down because you're about to blow your engine. And so I spent like a bit of a week in Perth doing all these things and I went home, got the results and they're like, no, you're definitely a bit fucked right now.
