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.
@Birdofparadise8, the process is insane but it is just how it works. Remember to explain your suicidal ideation intensity to the CATT in Vic. Your mental well-being is really important. I hope you are able to get some advice on what services you may be eligible for. Waiting can be hard if you are at the point of a crisis. I can't imagine what it has been like for you, I was a complete mess when my psych and counsellor were both away.

Re: Tw Not Coping
Thank you @creative_writer
That is why I went to a really dark place around Christmas and went into a bit of a crisis right now I’m fine I guess.
I just want to get the support before I get to another crisis stage but no one is listening to me.
@Birdofparadise8, there are services out there to prevent clients from going into the crisis. When I was referred, I was in a really bad place. I didn’t go as far as an attempt but was getting there. I wasn’t at immediate risk, so I didn’t need to go to the hospital but my mental well-being was deteriorating a lot, without the help, I don’t know where I would have been. I didn’t even know if I could get through uni semester, I was struggling so much. I even had to drop to part time, and I wasn’t even working or anything, just studying.

Re: Tw Not Coping
Hi @tyme. How are you?
Feeling low right now. Maybe I need to eat to get my glucose levels up. Completely and utterly exhausted.

Hello @tyme
I’ve missed you I’m in a lot of pain physically and mentally right now. Slowly recovering I guess from surgery on Monday.
How are you?

Re: Tw Not Coping
Yeah I get that I’m sorry you were in a bad place @creative_writer it is really hard.
Do you know of anything that helps before getting to a crisis stage because I’m either to high risk or to low risk for the service I’ve found or they just have long wait lists.

Re: Tw Not Coping
Hey power team 🙂
@Birdofparadise8 - ouchy ouchy. Hope you feel better soon. Did the surgery go smoothly?
@creative_writer - are you tired because you haven't eaten? or is it just because?
@Captain24 - I've been chasing up GS for you. I've been told there's progress!
Today, I went to the shops and bought lots of fresh fruits and veges. I'm trying to eat less junk. But overall, I've had a good day 🙂
