Re: not coping

i tried a helpline earlier today but it didnt really help much
my usual online counsellor isnt on till thursday (same service i connected with earlier today) sane chat is never online and the other helplines always make me put in a phonenumber and address and im not a fan of that.

i am really struggling with being a carer and pain atm. it just keeps getting worse physically. mentally. i have been trying so many things and i just keep going backwards even going back to counselling.

I am so sorry you are struggling with pain little one. You have the weight of the world on your very young shoulders and it's just not right. Wishing there was something more than words I could do to help you my friend. Nikki

I'm sorry things are so hard at the moment. I really have no answers for you and I know my words won't make things better.

All I can do is sit here with you tonight @outlander

Re: not coping

Carers Australia NSW website says it has free counselling services. Do you know about this?

https://www.youngcarersnsw.org.au/support/counselling/

Also, could your gp refer to ATAPS. This is also a free counselling & crisis service as well, and you can access this service 24/7. You'll need a referral

None of these are solutions for tonight, but might be worthwhile looking into @outlander

Re: not coping

i do know about those services @Sans911
unfortunatly the carers one isnt online only between 9 and 4 (or 5 i think) but i find it so hard to talk on the phone too.
i have the online counsellor and my nurse and the pdoc if i agree to medications so i have some supports but the more i talk i just dont really get anywhere.
Even having another carer in for pop is making things harder when shouldve been making it easier 😞

Re: not coping

@outlander have you thought about getting a new mental health care plan from your gp? You really sound like you could use some extra supports in place. No one should have to go through what you are trying to tke on yourself.
