Broken

Broken

Broken.

My partner of almost 10 years has just decided to pull the plug. Feeling lost, alone, broken, confused and torn, cant stop crying . He says it's him and the family trauma he has dealt with for most of his life. But also says that he feels as though he cant speak to me im too much, too sensitive, i take things personally. That he is in a dark place but doesn't want help. The sad thing is I have been in a dark place before many of times and am it still here. Just so confused, by it all as he appears to be so happy and friendly to everyone except me? I feel I am being pushed away and punished! He says it's family but has not expressed how he is feeling to them or anyone else for that matter. To make matters worse, just last week, it was all i love you, etc, to this.

Everything seems to be falling apart, not just from that its just one of many things that seems to be going wrong at the moment.

I have to move back to my parents but they don't seem too supportive just pushing me to have my own place, however I can not financially do that because everything was my ex and I even to the furniture, my job is also on the line due to cuts being made at the company.

I have signed up to part take in this course which my first call is Monday. I have also signed up to another course to keep me on the straight.

I am feeling so alone, worthless, not good enough.

Sorry to put this out just need somewhere to write I know we are all going through something.

Re: Broken

Hey @8KZTL7, thank you for sharing your experiences with the community!

It takes real courage to share our story here on the Forums, and you are being brave in being vulnerable and honest. You are demonstrating your resilience by reaching out to your peers and taking those hard steps of moving back in with your parents and studying.

I can relate to how you are feeling, as I have been through a few breakups myself and felt like I had to start all over again. Housing is a challenge at the moment in the best of times, so I understand how you may feel about your situation.

I'm curious have you reached out to speak with someone about your relationship breakdown and current situatiuon? There are many options and I will pop a few here for you to take a look at in case you don't know about them. 1800RESPECT and Relationships Australia and the support lines who are there for you to talk about relationship issues.

We also have the Guided Recovey program here at SANE and you can access 7 1:1 support sessions with a Peer Support Worker or Counsellor. This is usually only available in certain postcodes, however access is being extended to our Forums community. We understand this isn't always suitable for people so you can check out the Guided Service here - Welcome to SANE’s Guided Recovery and decide if you want to pursue it.

Whenever you are ready, you can chat to SANE’s mental health support workers who can assist with a referral, simply call 1800 187 263 or chat on the webchat at sane.org and let them know that you were referred from forums. They can help you with questions and check things like whether you have enrolled before or not. They're available 10am – 8pm Mon-Fri.
I encourage you to continue to share your story here with our peers too!
Take care
RiverSeal ❤️

Re: Broken

@RiverSeal Appreciate you reaching out and providing me with further additional support resources.

Can confirm that I am taking part in Sane's 15 week program. I will have my first one on one with someone Monday 23rd of June.

Even though I have yet to commence the program, grateful to have come across Sane and be able to take part.

At the moment I am having all these feelings. But hoping to also be a pillar of support for others one day or even during my journey.

Thank you again

@8KZTL7 🖤
