i guess ill introduce myself, im Marley and im 20 and i dont know what it is i have affecting me, but its been a constant pretty much since 2013ish. i feel so miserable and alone and my only solace is my partner, but i met them online and they live in California. I was recently with them for a couple of weeks but ive just been miserable since returning to Australia. I want to be back with them so badly they are one of very few things that are comforting to me.
anyway, i want to seek help to get a diagnosis on what is affecting me (i have my suspicions and have done thorough research). the only thing is im incredibly anxious about going out and doing that. i dont want to do it alone but i have nobody else to rely on for support here in Australia.
@outlander i dont have any siblings im an only child, i do have two cats though. furry little menaces they are. i like making all kinds of digital art, and i practise karate twice a week.
what about you? what are your favourite foods? where would you most like to go for a holiday and why?

@outlander
oh i love horses! ive only been riding a couple times but i really enjoyed it! ive been doing karate since 2013 but i stopped for a year in 2015 when i moved away to go attempt university for a while (didnt go too well as i am back with my parents now haha). but ive been back at it since early last year.
oh i love baking i think i make a pretty good caramel slice and brownie haha. im also fond of sweets but recently started eating paleo for various reasons. outside of paleo i love any kinds of pasta and anything chocolaty honestly, lasagne and brownies probably being my top picks.
i dont work but im currently being made to job search by centrelink and its incredibly draining applying for all these jobs and never getting a call bsck from them. i would like to at least just get something in retail to save up and go be with my partner again.
do you work? what kind of music do you listen to? what is a skill youd like to learn one day?

Re: anxious but wanting help
Im studying online maybe that could be an option for you @ColourCat though uni is suppose to be a really good experience for most so encourage you to do thst option on. Omg i cant make caramel slice! I will get there eventually though Ahh yes i was doing the same thing and being 20 all the retail shops want all the 14yr olds cause they pay them cheaper Keep looking though something will eventually pop up try job search too and hand in your resumes to places that arent advertising too sometimrs they have a spot but arent advertising
Yes im a full time carer. I love modern pop country. But i dont really go off genre i go off the artist snd song themselves
Hmm a skill id love to learn to speak to animals but thats not going to happen so i think learning yo make caramel slice is a good skil 😉😉

Re: anxious but wanting help
@outlander i do have a uni course im considering applying to for next year when applications open. im a little worried about not getting in considering i failed the last course i was doing due to various currently unexplained mental health issues and also the fact that it wasnt really something i wholeheartedly wanted to be doing.
i did try studying online but it wasnt for me, i think i prefer to be in a class type setting where im less likely to be distracted by other things in my surroundings.

Re: anxious but wanting help
You should apply for it @ColourCat I dont have time to go to uni but itll be really great if you could. First thing though id reccomend is finding a good gp though and having a chat to them 🙂
