Hi there @fkthis ,
I'm sorry things are so tough for you right now.
As I read your posts, I'm wondering what you hope to get as you reach out here on the forums? We recognise that you are finding other services not very helpful, so we hope we can find ways to better support you.
We are sorry you have to go through such challenges, and hope there is a more positive outlook for you.
Please take care.

Hey @fkthis ,
Not at all. Rather, we hope to better understand what may be helpful for you right now and what you hope to achieve on the forums.
As this is my first interaction with you, it's nice to be able to be on the same page.
No pressure to respond if you don't feel up to it.

@fkthisI hope you do keep posting. No one here wants you to feel you have to stop in any way. It just may be helpful to know if there's anything in particular you would like to get out of being here. It might be just to vent and have people listen, which is totally fine if that is what helps you most. Or there might be particular aspects of what you've been through that you would like advice on. We all just want to help and support you as best we can. You've been through so much and dealing with so much extremely difficult things that you may find it more helpful to let us know what you would like to focus on, if there is anything in particular of course.
I know you've had bad experiences reaching out for support before and are understandably suspicious and find it hard to trust people who say they want to help so I really hope you keep in contact and let us know how you're doing. People here will do their best to help you in whatever way you feel is the most beneficial for you. So just continue to write whatever you feel comfortable writing and we'll do our best to help and support however we can.
