Something’s not right

In the middle of nowhere

In the middle of nowhere

Hi,

I’m in the middle of nowhere, remote central Australia. I’ve had a major trigger a few days ago. I don’t often have phone or internet and can’t talk to my professional support.
i don’t like when I feel stuck somewhere away from my safe places. I don’t like when I don’t feel safe in the place where I stay. a lot of what I’ve learnt to make me feel safe in a place doesn’t work anymore. I don’t like when I have to rely on others. I know a lot is from … I don’t even want to say mental illness anymore. I would just like to feel like I’m supposed to feel.
Anyway, how does support work in the middle of nowhere?

Re: In the middle of nowhere

Sorry to read you're going through a difficult time atm @petrichor.

What are you overwhelmed about? What's making your head spin?

Re: In the middle of nowhere

Yes, the death of a friend can be overwhelming for sure and it's normal to take time to process and make sense of the loss. It's important to reach out in times of loss and that's something you are doing which is positive for your coping skills. I imagine there's a lot you could unpack and talk about here and that members would be open to reading and perhaps sharing their own stories. Please feel welcome to share more about what's going on for you @petrichor.
