Something’s not right

TW. About to go into a huge downward spiral

TW. About to go into a huge downward spiral

I'm safe, not gonna do anything, looking for advice, etc, etc, etc.

I'm really in a bad place right now. I need help, but I can't get help.

I:

* Can't talk to lifeline as I'm worried they'll just do a welfare check

* Can't talk to S***ide callback service as they just want you off the phone in 15 mins and I'm worried they'll just do a welfare check

* Can't talk to Mensline for the same reasons as above - same organisation that runs it

* Can't talk to BeyoundBlue as they're a referral service and becuase of much of the same as above

* Can't go to hospital, as they simply don't have capacity (in my state at least)

* Can't talk to Sane as they no longer have the support line

* Can't talk to my GP as he's pretty limited in what he can do (G for General) and can only refer me to pyshcologists

* Can't talk to anyone at a Medicare Mental Health centre as last time I did, you guessed it, they did a welfare check.

* Can't talk to counsellors or psychologists because they're booked out months ahead and would still do the bloody welfare check

* Can't call 1300 MH call becuase they're just the hospital switch board and will tell me to go to hospital which is at capacity

* Can't call Medicare Mental Health line as I would just be put through to my local centre - the same one that just did a welfare check

* Can't talk to friends or family as I don't have any that understand the situation at all all and would just freak out and make it worse.

Why does the reaction to s***idal ideation have to be welfare checks all the bloody time! I need help and to talk to someone, not be dragged off by the cops!

Thanks @Blackcloud,

Yes I had attended a couple of their zoom groups in the past, but being in QLD it made it hard to get on in time when daylight savings was happening (we don' thave that in QLD). Now that daylight savings has finished I might give it another go.
Cheers
