Something’s not right

Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh okay, so you have had suicidal thoughts for a long time, then @Jynx

It's weird how it is such a taboo thing, and then most people I talk to about MH have had suicidal thoughts at some stage.

I will have a look at those books. Thank you.

I am still waiting to see a psych I am on a waitlist, but I just really need in sooner then later I was having weekly sessions for like 6 months and then to go to nothing like that was really hard.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it can be scary living alone for the first time. I lived alone for a bit when I was 19-20. It was interesting. Yes, I made mistakes, but that’s how you learn. There are a lot of supports in Melbourne, it’s about finding those.

@Captain24, I will let you know 🙂 , thank you.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I know if I can get support and all, I am still worried I will do something because it's all I think about daily, how and what and everything in between. I am apprehensive. I don't want to be in the space I was around the end of last year with my plan to end it @creative_writer. If I've gotten to that place before, it could be easier for me to get there again, which scares me a lot.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah it was a long, long struggle. I feel very lucky to be where I am, where I can provide support to folks who need it. It's this concept of like... being the person I once needed, if you know what I mean.

@Birdofparadise8 have you seen SANE's new Guided Service? Could be the perfect thing while you wait - and if you're moving to Melbourne you can chuck your new postcode into the referral form (here) and hopefully will be eligible! If not, you can always access the Drop In service - legit they are a great bunch and happy to chat to folks even if the distress isn't like, bonkers high (not a crisis service, so exactly who you might need when you're struggling in between psychs/sessions).

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I am on the guided service it's really good.

I use the drop-in line via web chat a lot, probably too much @Jynx
