Yeah it’s a bit like that aye like dealing with each day sucks. You can try to make changes so it’s not as bad tho. Takes a bit of insight of course.

Hi @KATEL,
Welcome to the Forums. My name is FloatingFeather an I am one of the peer support workers at SANE. You have found a safe space to share your feelings and concerns in an anonymous, non-judgemental environment.
While SANE is here to support you as much as we can unfortunately we are not a crisis centre so if you ever do need immediate help please call:
- Lifeline on 13 11 14
- BeyondBlue on 1300 224 636
- Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 46
I'm sorry to read you are struggling - I know that feeling as I have been there before and I really empathise with you. Do you have a family, friend or GP you can reach out to? Sometimes just having a listening ear of a trusted person can really help you unpack how you are feeling.
Warm wishes,
FloatingFeather

Hello @KATEL. I just wish you didn't need to be on the forum. Life is tough sometimes, isn't it? We just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other, or take a rest as needs be.
I don't have any magic to dispense but I'm sending you good wishes.

I spoke with my GP and she just increased my medication though I don’t know if it’s a good thing because they decreased it due to my suicidal thoughts last time

Hey @KATEL It is a hard position to be sitting but you have already shown great strength in reaching out here. We often do not know the strength we have within until it really matters the most - so whilst you are asking us for help here to find that strength - I already see it is spades by just reaching out. Welcome to the community 😁
