My special place

@Eve7 sounds like you coped with the funeral well...hope you're OK.

@Snowie Sorry things are tough 😞

@creative_writer Get better soon!

Sorry, I don't have many words today.

@outlander sounds like you have been really busy hon. It is good that you are trying to fit some me time in there, you certainly deserve it. Your lizard sounds like it is keeping you company!

I know that I should be grateful. I have a psych and a pdoc that I see, and they have both been with me for awhile now. I realise some people don't even have that. But I struggle in between appointments. Besides helplines I haven't got anyone that I can turn to. It is just me struggling to survive. I know I have H, but there are just somethings I can't speak to him about.

I just don't want to do it anymore.

I sorry to read things are feeling so hard for you @Snowie. I can understand that things can get tough between appointments. Helplines can be really good but I would imagine they can't give you the support that you would get from your pdoc and your psych.

If you (or anyone else reading this ) ever feel like you need crisis support you can call any of the following services for immediate support:

Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat

Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling

Samaritans: 135 247

If in immediate danger: 000

Warm wishes,

@FloatingFeather the helplines are good but they don't know you. You are just another number. Another person calling an already clogged up line.

What's the point

Hey @Snowie I am here sitting with you hon. I understand those feelings of having no one besides our professional supports. It’s like we are forever wading through a maze.

All that is left is to walk away and turn our thinking around by ourselves.

Thanks @Eve7

Even when I email my psych or pdoc, I hardly ever get a response. Why should I, they have other people to see. I guess that is what happens when you are in the private system. You have no one outside those appointments.

I'm struggling to find a reason why.

I'm sorry, I hope you are ok.

@Eve7 I'm sorry, I am just being selfish.

Don't think this is the right place for me.

My psych used to email back @Snowie but pdoc asked me not to email her and said to ring her if I need her. Well I know what doing that would mean.

I think I’m at a point where I’m just going to tell people what they want to hear.

Today has been ok for me at work but the network has been down which is very frustrating.

Hey, you’re not selfish at all my friend. I’m willing to sit with you 💜💜
