Feels like this internal mental battle is close to rising to the top and I don't know what to do. Feeling like just giving into it just for it all to stop. No point in talking to anyone about it because I know I'm alone in this no matter what. Those that are supposed to care, don't....so....yeah.....

Hey @Loz_3647 You are not alone and I appreciate you reaching out to us for support. I'm going to check in with you via email so you can tell me a bit more about what's happening, if you would like to. Please take care and I would encourage you to call lifeline 13 11 14 if things escalate for you.

atleast you're able to make use of the Forums and express yourself @Loz_3647
It's a weird thing: there are people here that can relate to some of those feelings you've shared - no doubt. Yet the sense of being alone, hopeless, and isolated is also very real and most immediate...
Wouldn't it be nice if we could just get a good dose of love for a change?

You can talk on here @Loz_3647 and we will listen.
I am sorry you feel this way.

@Loz_3647, life can be tough sometimes, but you can rise above it if you deliberately learn to apply yourself—especially when the going gets tough. I know because I'm also walking this path too and it's been hell but, for me, the better days now outnumber the worst.
You have to learn to control those voices in your head that tell you that all is hopeless. It isn't. It just seems that way. Don't depend on others to pull you out of your dark moods because they aren't always available. You have to learn to rely on yourself, it takes work and change of mindset. And we are always here, thinking of you even when we don't respond. Sometimes we just don't know what to say.
I can only send you my best wishes @Loz_3647 for today and the days ahead. You really can do it.
