Hi @Ricardorider - having a computer is pretty much nearly necessary these days - i dont have much money to go around either - i havent had a job for a year now because i got laid off cause of covid 😞 - i hope your physical health is ok as well - im not sure what i can do to help but just hang in there ok

@Ricardorider I'm sorry to hear you're going through so much. Financial, health, employment and family issues. You have so much on your plate! Of course you're overwhelmed. Of course you're allowed to vent. I'm wondering if you have some coping skills you're doing at the moment? Or if just venting helps you?

HI Aniela

I cope reasonably well am medicated and they keep things relatively hassle free, But then things mount up and ai have to rant and vent and rave on and on

Being able to verbalise things really heps for me anyway. journalling page after page can get me down

I nmake use of lifeline counsellors. No tha my life is in any danger but to get it off my chest, to hear me say it and if am lucky get a lifeline bod who gives me some feedback

I have been known to hang up on lifeline and call again. Some am just not sure are there for the right reason IMHO. might look good on their resumes ???

I try to cope best i can depression can bring weight loss of weight gain for me the latter. Something else to concern me

As I said so much crap and feeling helpless and no one to talk to MAtes who are to wrapped up in their own lives and just not good and depp n meaningful stuff outside a few beers and I dont drink anymore...health reasons

Not sure australia in 2021 is the same place it was 20yrs ago. Its a harder meaner place these days

Thanks for reading and take care everyone
