Hi @Eden1919,
I can hear that today isnt a good day either, it sounds like you havent been able to get much sleep in and your feeling as though you cant do this anymore.
How can we support you in this today? @Zoe7 raises a good question here, what is your plan B?

Ok @Eden1919 this is how I see it when I am feeling this way myself... today is a day for just getting through - no expectations, no plans, no looking forward - just getting through minute by minute and hour by hour. In this minute where are Dog and Bunny? Can you hold them and feel their warmth and love...

Calling your mental health team sounds like it would be a good step @Eden1919, but if this feels like its too much do you feel as though you would be able to give us a call here at the Sane Help Centre on
1800 18 7263 or even the Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467. Both of us have an online chat function as well if your more comfortable with this than talking on the phone.

@Eden1919 I have accesssed the SANE helpline Chat as @Former-Member mentioned many times to help get me through similar situations. I can highly recommend using this if you don't feel like actually talking or can't talk as if often the case with me. I am here with you if that is what makes you most 'comfortable' at the moment. We have both had a really tough week or so and you have helped me as much as I have tried to help you - sometimes all I need is company and to know someone ius listening - I am listening Eden - if you need ![]()

You are stuck at the moment @Eden1919 but that is ok - we are here to sit with you. SANE Helpline Chat is just like writing here - I have cried while accessing this too - when I can't talk I can type (just) so if that is an option for you - try it. I am still here with you and you have just managed to get through another 10 minutes of today - minute by minute is all we need to do Eden...

That is the wonderful thing about this forum and the Helpline here @Eden1919 you don't need to tell anyone completely how you feel with no detail missed - we just get that you are struggling and we will listen to whatever you have to say and however you choose to say it - no expectations and no pressures. Here with you buddy
...and we have just got another 10 minutes under our belt - awesome ![]()
