I don't see the point in living anymore. I can't.
I've called helplines but tonight it's just not helped.
I've spent way too much time in hospital over the years and nothings ever helped.
I just can't anymore

Morning @The-red-centaur
Those thoughts sound very frightening .... I hear ypu.
When do you see your counsellor next ? It might’ve a good idea to raise it with them. They might be able to give you some strategies, and it can be that panic is taking over and scrambling your memory recall. With support you might find that calming your body system helps to clarify your thoughts, and the way you speak.

It is great that you are back studying @The-red-centaur . It is not great that you seem to be struggling but keep at it - it often feels like our brain has gone into hibernation when we first get back into things but with a little more time and support hopefully you can push through that barrier. It is a great idea to talk to your counsellor/support worker/pdoc - anyone that you have that can help support you through this. As @Faith-and-Hope said - they may be able to give you strategies to help you be more focussed and more in the moment.

Here is a link for a sexual assault support service in southern Tasmania -
Can you contact them and see if more support is available for you ?

Hi @The-red-centaur
Tough time yeah. I'm so sorry to hear you've had such an awful expereince that has made things even harder for you. I'll send you a check in email shortly.
It might be worth trying the service @Faith-and-Hope listed. At the very least they would refer you to the equivalent local line. Also 1800respect are someone you can touch base with https://www.1800respect.org.au/ or 1800 737 732
