Feel like things are very quickly getting out of control. I don't seem to be able to shake this mood and the thoughts. I thought maybe it was just yesterday that I was feeling out of sorts but it's continuing today and it's worse.
Someone send some hope my way so I can make it through this.

Absolutely sending you lots of hope and strength @Hopeandlove
Are there any other forms of support you feel you need right now that you might be able to access?
In response to: Re: Sharing Today

Thanks for that.
I'm not quite sure where to turn to for support.

@Hopeandlove If you're wanting to receive some real-time support you could give the SANE helpline a call on 1800 187 263, or BeyondBlue (who also have a chat function if that feels more doable right now). If you feel like you might need some more crisis support then there's Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Suicide Callback Service on 1300 659 467, I believe each of these also offer chat/text support too.
And of course we're here for you and can sit with you

@Hopeandlove please ignore my post that said..."hmm..i dont know what to say to that." It wasnt directed at you. I just forgot to tag someone and it ended up on this feed. A crisis supporter at Lifeline will help you. Very safe 131114.

Thanks for the information. I have previously reached out to some of those services but I feel like others are more deserving of being supported. I'm not sure where I'm quite sitting at the moment,

I understand @Hopeandlove , unfortunately that is a very common thought. When we're in a bad place we can start to believe these thoughts, but these thoughts only serve to keep us in that bad place, they're not the truth. The truth is that you do deserve support, and given what you've shared it is important that you seek some support for what you're going through.
I'm going to send you an email in a moment if you could please keep an eye out for that?
