I am really struggling at the moment and I want to go to sleep and not wake up. I have had many bills to pay this week. And put my last $20 in fuel. I can't buy any food and don't get paid until next week. Arrrgggghhhh I hate this life!!!

Hey @Kegsy76
I’m sorry things are tough at the moment. I’m glad you have found this space so you have somewhere to vent. I don’t know if you have heard about the website called “Ask Izzy” https://askizzy.org.au/ …you tell it what you are looking for, put in your postcode and hopefully it finds resources, like food, in your area. And welcome to the forums.

Hey @Kegsy76 , as @rav3n mentioned, if you go to Foodbank: https://www.foodbank.org.au/?state=qld
You will be able to type in your postcode to see where to get low cost/free food from or where to get a hot meal near you.
No one should go hungry in this country.
I'm sorry how hard things are for you.

@Kegsy76 i'm so sorry to hear they're not open for a few more days. please know that your financial situation is not a reflection of your worth. this is hard time, but it does not define who you are, you are capable of getting through this and you're not a failure for struggling - you're so very human.
there's a lot of financial and mental health services on this page: Mental health and financial wellbeing support | State Revenue Office (sro.vic.gov.au) - you may need to wait till the morning for some of the financial services as they are currently closed, but the mental health ones like Lifeline and SCBS are available 24/7.
you can also give these a try:
otherwise, please do reach out to someone (friend/family member, etc) and see if they can assist you in the meantime. please be kind to yourself. 💙

I'm not sure I gave you the right site. Did you see this on the screen? You then click both options?
I really hope you find something.
I hear how isolating things can be. Sorry to hear there is no one around you. @Kegsy76
