Hi @MissES
A warm welcome to our forums, this looks like your first post 🙂
As @Kurra said, it's really important to ask for help when you are feeling low and alone. The acute care or crisis teams often prioritise crisis calls e.g. from clients who are suicidal or psychotic over other calls. So it is better to try the helplines.
In addition to Lifeline are:
Beyond Blue - 24/7 Helpline 1300 224 636
SANE Helpline is available 9-5pm Mon-Fri on 1800 187 263
Or you can keep chatting to us on the forums tonight.
When is your family home again, and what are some things you can do to look after yourself tonight and distract yourself?
Kind regards,
Frog

Hi @MissES
Just popping in another "welcome to the forums" here .... I have been dozing on and off tonight, a bit unsettled with stuff on my mind .... so I wanted to tell you that there are often others floating around at odd hours here too.
I'm glad you found us, and you are not alone. A lot of our members have a bipolar diagnosis and can relate on many levels .... as @Kurra said, we all help each other. You will find heaps of understanding and compassion here.
Take care.
🌷💜

Hello @MissES
Just because certain cities get a little silly ... and loud and colourful people ride the public transport .. doesnt mean you or anybody else is a freak.
I know a lot of people that plan to be absent for the great weekend. I tried .. but it followed me out country .. where I was invited to watch it at the local pub. Thank god I had a bed and friend and tv with my own remote control ... so I did not have to endure it. Maybe you can get hubby to treat you to something that YOU like .. fair is fair ... we all need the odd day out.
