Stressing out

Hi there @Leeanne

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. Let me know how you're going through the day and keep reaching out. I'll also send you an email.

Hugs

Feeling depressed my daughter won't talk still, feeling alone wish daughter would speak she looks at messages but don't answer 😢😢😢

Hey @Leeanne I'm sorry your daughter isn't answering. It sounds like it's making you quite sad, which is understandable. And on top of your other worries.

I know how hard it is to feel stuck and when it seems like there isn't a way out of our stress and anxiety. Do you relate to that? If you do, I know how dark it is and I know lots of us what to help you find a way out.

You don't deserve to go through this alone. I'm glad you've got the forums, but I'm wondering what other supports do you have to talk about what you're going through?

A counsellor but another week or more away . I'm so anxious about my daughter can't understand young adults

@Leeanne I'm glad you've got a counselling appointment soon. It's awesome that you've been so proactive to organise that.

But it's so understandable that you're still feeling anxious now. Is there anything you've done before when you've been feeling anxious?

For me, I try a few things and I wonder if they might help you?

• I got for a walk around the neighbourhood or have a hot shower to clear my mind
• Call a friend to talk about it
• If none of that works, I look at the Coping Toolbox ( what is in yours to help you cope ) thread to find some new ideas.

I'm also wondering if you've called the SANE drop-in line before? I think it's so brave of you to post about how you're feeling at the forums and I wonder if talking about it over the phone could also help? The phone number is 1800 187 263

Is there something here you might try?

@Former-Member

It won't matter what talking I do that won't help me or change what is happening 😢😢😢

@Leeanne it sounds like you're feeling powerless to change what's happening and how you're feeling. Is that right? I know for myself that feeling comes up when I'm unsure of what's coming up next.

I'm wondering what you think might help you feel less anxious tonight? It might not change the situation, but might change how you're experiencing the situation?

😢😢😢☹️☹️☹️

I have no clue I feel worthless alonely

@Leeanne I know it can be scary when it feels like nobody can help you and things won't change. And it took me a while to figure out what my needs are and what can help me. It's ok if it take a while for you too.

It seems like what I'm suggesting hasn't helped you very much this evening. So I'm wondering if maybe you have any ideas on something you could do or change tonight? You could look at the Coping Toolbox ( what is in yours to help you cope ) and pick something to try this evening?

What I can see from you is you is that you come to the forums wanting to make a change, despite feeling like it might not help. I think that shows a lot of strength.

I don't want to do nothing I don't feel like it
