Centaurs attempt at a new life

Centaurs attempt at a new life

Nearly 2 weeks ago I decided to do something about the state of my life and move to the other side of the country.

The start was oh so high and fun...a new city to explore, new sites to see, new food to try, family to meet etc.

But then it crashed and the beginning of last week and reality hit. Like what am I actually doing, can I do this and why did i bother. I even spent my birhday yesterday in the psych ward. But for what. My life can't be fixed.

so why am I trying to do about that and do something different. Like there is no point.

I am homeless, with no support; stuck in in a city I don't know. Its like I'm just running from people that exist in my own head and a past I can't forget. Whatever this new life was supposed to be is just a delusion. I can't escape from it, it's like I'm stuck foever.

Why did I think I could actually change. I don't even deserve to. I deserve the pain and the torture. I deserve to be trapped here all alone. I deserve nothing but this missery I put myself through. I deserve nothing but death....

Re: Centaurs attempt at a new life

I'm sorry to hear these thoughts are coming up for you again @The-red-centaur . I just wanted to remind you that it’s really important you get qualified help beyond a peer support service when things get hard. Our forums are not a crisis service so might not be the most appropriate support right now. You don't need to go through this alone. Please reach out to SCBS on 1300 659 467 or other crisis supports listed below:

Lifeline: 131 114

Samaritans: 135 247

Re: Centaurs attempt at a new life

Hey @The-red-centaur I just wanted to drop in and let you know I'm not doing great at the moment, a bit consumed with my own issues right now. But I'm thinking of you, and when I'm in a better headspace I'll check in with you again. I hope you can find some strength to hold on. I really hope you do. You've come too far to give up now. Be patient and kind to yourself for me, ok?

Keep talking here, keep posting and jumping into the other threads. It helps.

And please know I'm still reading along even if I can't manage to respond. I'm still here for ya.
