Depression, Anxiety, Assault & Overwhelmed

Hello @ChocMint. I'm just making a quick response to say 'Hello'. It sounds like you are dealing with a lot, but I love your 'can do' attitude. I hope it's contagious!

There are so many things weighing us all down at the moment, and you're right–you're certainly not alone. I'm sure others will be along soon to also welcome you. I hope things start to look brighter for you soon.

Love to you, too. Take care.😊

Hi @ChocMint (ice-cream),

Your post has warmed my heart. You are living with so much, yet you have braved it enough to try new strategies.

It's incredible what a 'brain dump' can do. And you know what? No one is going to look at what you write, and no one needs to re-read it - EVER (if they don't want).

If you ever feel you need that extra support, please know that our 1:1 SANE counsellors are available to talk 10am-10pm AEST Monday-Friday on 1800 187 263. However, please note that SANE is not a crisis service.

Sometimes just trying something different can bring relief.

I admire you for your courage, strength and resilience in reaching out. Here's a cuppa for you while you're at it 🙂

Kindest, tyme

Well, @ChocMint,😊, it looks like a quiet night for responses here tonight. It happens sometimes. I'm sorry about that. I know how reassuring it is to reach out and have others respond with kindness and support when you need it. Perhaps they will rally tomorrow.

It's good to read that, despite everything, you are taking good care of yourself, and that you have loved family and dog about. I hope there are much better days ahead for you. Tomorrow is another day. Take care, my friend.🥰

Good morning @ChocMint and welcome to the forums.

it seems that you have many health issues but I admire your “can do” attitude.

I hope today goes well for you especially if you’re at work and that there are brighter days ahead. Meanwhile we are here for you.

Take care 💜

Hey @ChocMint welcome to the forums, although it sounds like you have a lot going on, I think the attitude you carry along the way will help you…. And maybe even others 🙂

Good on you for taking a mental health day off work! Hoping that today is a better day for you

🎀

@ChocMint I'm so, so, so glad to hear you are feeling well today. That's such a blessing. Yay ❤

Thank you everyone, I found this forum on a really dark day, and I love & appreciate the honesty I've seen here, it's contributed to being able to crawl out of the dark a little.

I know dark times last so very long for some people, but mine are usually only a few days, thankfully, but they're very intense days. Actually I think I have PMDD too, which just creates a massive brain fart too 😳

Thank you again 😁

Hi @ChocMint ,

I was passing by and wanted to check-in with you to see how are you are going. Anything special happening on your side? Hope you are well!

Hi @tyme ,

Thanks so much for checking in, I'm doing a lot better at the moment, Journalling is helping, and knowing that there's some support online is good too, particularly in this world of FB & Insta perfection & superiority, I'm avoiding the normal social media channels too, cos it gets me down sometimes.

On a good day I sat down & reorganised my budget, so I can stop worrying about money & just follow my plan 🙂

I love your proactive approach @ChocMint . It sounds like it's making a big difference. I'm sure you will get what you put in.

It's amazing to see how far you have come in a short space of time by implementing a few strategies.

All efforts and kudos to you @ChocMint . I look forward to hearing how you go with everything.

Remember, you deserve all the support you can get. You have your own special place in this world.
