Re: not coping

Hey @outlander, sitting with you as well
Good on you for reaching out, I'm sorry that the call wasn't really useful for you. It can be so frustrating to put the effort in to reach out and then feel like it wasn't what you needed. You could always try again if you're feeling up to it - different helpline or different counsellor may be able to help. Or maybe going for something more distracting might help too.

My thoughts are with you anyway

Re: not coping

Re: not coping

@outlander that's fair enough, especially if you think it would only leave you feeling that same sense of frustration and helplessness.

Sometimes we need to step away from a situation before we can get clarity. I know it's hard when our brains keep returning to it because it is a current source of stress and anxiety, but shifting focus to something else and then returning to it might be helpful. But of course, listen to your needs and do what's best for you tonight.

Re: not coping

Thanks @Jynx
As it seems to be my last option for a form of treatment theres alot to consider atm. pops making things difficult tonight so its not overly helpful. just making some unpleasant thoughts more prominent
