Sorry to hear you are struggling. I have felt similarly lately. I use the Beyond Blue helpline and the Blue Knot helpline.

Life can be so hard sometimes.

Sending you all the positive vibes.

Hey @wishiwasntme

We don't know each other, but I will put my hand up (I'm sure along with many people here) and say I care for you 🤍

Thank you for reaching out, I'm so glad you found your way here.

Are there some small things you can do right now that would help you to feel safe?

I have CPTSD and just came out of near crisis after a series of triggers so I'm about to use my heated/weighted lap pad, drink a comforting hot cuppa and write in my "check-in" journal.

We are here for you when you're ready to talk 🐈

Hey @Dk5

This is the spiel I found on the Blue Knot Helpline for you:

The Blue Knot Helpline is a Telehealth service that offers trauma specialist support to adults who are impacted by complex trauma as a result of trauma and abuse that occurred when they were a child. It also supports partners, family members, friends, health professionals and service personnel who are supporting people who have experienced abuse.

The Helpline operates from 9am-5pm AEST/AEDT, 7 days a week (including public holidays) and is available for single-session counselling, information, support and referrals. Phone calls are recorded for training and quality assurance purposes (find out more).

We provide support in a number of ways, via phone, email, and webchat.

Hope this helps 😺
