Not Coping

Maybe this can be a helpful reminder @Birdofparadise8

You have very valid reasons for needing to cry. And when I say you're supporting yourself, I mean that despite being so battered by your emotions, you're still getting out to the gym, making plans to connect with family, and actively engaging with the forums community. So yeah, you're supporting yourself pretty darn well in my opinion.

That's lovely. How did you find that @Jynx

I guess so. I'll talk to my psych tomorrow. He said anyone alone, as much as I am, would be sad. I just don't want it to make me worse and then lead to suicidal thoughts.

@Birdofparadise8 good old Centrelink. How can you be dependent on your parents yet live separately? That's ridiculous.
Same here, I am looking on Seek and indeed.

Once I'm 22, I think it's an age thing.

There isn't much going around being close to Christmas @ENKELI

Is everything okay @Bow

Did I say something wrong?

What I was meaning. When I was going through my Centrelink application to verify if I was dependent or classed as independent, there were a couple of reasons that came up that aren't applicable in my case.

It was also if you worked part-time for so many hours.

I never told you to shut up @Bow

I don't want to upset you. I know you've gone through a hard time yourself. I was just explaining my situation and how I get so little while I'm not working, that's all.

I can see what you're saying is to do with Centrelink @Birdofparadise8 but just be mindful of phrasing. Perhaps saying something like 'There are certain circumstances which would make me eligible but nothing that applies to me' or 'I'm not experiencing family violence so I can't get that payment'. Can you edit your post or do you want me to?

Hope you're okay @Bow, feel free to reach out to us via email if you need.
