Hi @Kyle1
What's happening for you at the moment?

Holding lots of space 💛

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

I've been to the gp today. We're changing meds...

I've been trying to relocate myself and kids...been doing a lot of driving and begging family for petrol money.

And I'm feeling really isolated... I've reached out for a support worker but can't afford them.

And even though I desperately want to, I either have nobody or am too depressed to spend time and talk with someone...

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

It sounds like a lot is going on for you, and you are looking at many changes right now @Kyle1
Thank you for sharing 💛

How are you feeling about the change of meds?

It's great that you have reached out for supports, you were looking for resources last week and sounds like it isn't working out right now.

I have had many feelings of being depressed and have lost the connection within me to spend time and talk with someone. I know that this can feel hard.

What do you feel will be most supportive for you right now?

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Well @fluffylight I don't know how I feel about changing meds. I don't know much about pharmaceuticals... I kind of have to put my faith in the Dr for that stuff...

And what would be the most supportive right now? A person. A real person with real care. That.

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Faith in someone else while you get through this next change ! @Kyle1

Lots of care to share

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Thank you @fluffylight 🫂🙏

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

How are you feeling? @Kyle1

How are you caring for yourself tonight?

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

does ice cream enter the equation @fluffylight ??

I mixed medicine when I wasn't supposed to. Reckless, I know... I'd just rather be numb for a little if I can
