What to do now

Hi @Former-Member,

I have emailed you but just incase you don't see it please call one of these numbers, unfortunately we are not are not a crisis service and cant always respond immediately but you dont deserve to be alone in this and there are people who can help; please call

Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat

Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling

If in immediate danger: 000

if however I am wrong and you are not in immediate danger, can you tell us about what would help you right now? do you want to hear from others in similar situations? want advice? (specific or coping threads?

how have you been coping so far?

@Former-Member.
Wow. So much has happened yesterday. No wonder you are in pain and can't think.
Is there some easy self care that you could do for yourself tonight? It might be taking a long hot shower and putting on clean pajamas. Eating - a special treat or even a favorite piece of fruit.
If I'm able to sleep - I use that sometimes to get through a few hours.
I wonder if you have a therapist or counselor? Or even a gp you can talk with.
Keep talking here if it helps. Although we are not specialists, we do all live with different MI's. We are supportive and non judgemental.
If you struggle at the moment talking with people - I believe LifeLine & the Suicide CallBack Service also offer an internet / text support.
You are not alone

I don't want to go home. I don't feel at home in my home nor want to go anywhere else as I will get the billion questions and lectures. I just don't know what to do.

So where are you now @Former-Member? You in you car or gone to a pub or the movies?
Do you have a friend you could go to stay with tonight - who will judt take you in - no questions asked?
If you aren't feeling safe at the moment, you could go to your local hospital Emergency Department. They can get a psych nurse or social worker or similar, who can sit and talk with you & help sort out how to get through this hard time, especially tonight.
@Former-Member - do you have any other suggestions that can help catmeow tonight?

I'm just going to hit up a bar and spend the night as long as I can there. Then see where I end up

@Former-Member. Please be super careful tonight. Self medicating with drink or drugs is a short term fix. But maybe a drink or two can help you a bit tonight.
Remember LifeLine & BeyondBlue are available all night.
Take care tonight. Things might look a little easier to handle tomorrow morning. And keeptalking here. I find it helpful when iI'm struggling.

Hi Meowmeow

Sometimes talking to people via on call services such as Lifeline (131114), BeyondBlue (1300 224636) can be helpful as it gives you an opportunity to verbally communicate what you are feeling (if thats possible right now) in addition to the forum. Please stay in touch with the forum tonight. Everyone here is on your side.

Hi Meowmeow

Also Im not sure if you have anyone you can talk to tonight. The forum is great obviously (and please stay in touch) but if there is anyone you know well personally, who may be able to help listen, guide and ground you tonight then that, we believe, might be helpful.

Thanks for listening

NiteKat

I've been sitting on my own in a bar for hours. Not one person said hello. I am truly invisible and worthless.

@Former-Member.
You are not invisible to me or to @NightKat. I'm happy to listen to you tonight. Would you be comfortable talking about what happened today with your husband and friends. Only if you want to.
