I need help

I need help

I really don’t know where to start. I’m 25 years old and the way I am feeling is ruining my life. I’m so unhappy and cry most days, it has completely turned me into a person I no longer recognise or like.

I don’t really have anyone who I can talk too apart from my girlfriend, but she has just left and I won’t see her again for 3 months now. Nobody really gets it.

Life is slowly slipping away from me, thoughts are becoming more negative and I am becoming unable to deal with it.

I have tried to get counselling, I have tried to pay for counselling but the availability is so bad.

Im in a very lonely place at the moment and I really don’t know where to turn

Re: I need help

Just an aside @KelvinG if you use @ before someone's name they get tagged and a notification shows up - the bell at the top right of the screen. You also get notifications if someone likes your post, and if someone comments on a thread you've contributed to. You're probably all over this, but it took me a while!

Hi @KelvinG,

It's great to see you reaching out for support. I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to read our guidelines yet but just to let you know our forums are designed for people living in Australia - this is for safety reasons as our support services and emergency connections are all based in Australia and we want you to get the best suited and safest support possible. I’ll send you an email shortly to give you a bit more information about how you might connect with some support closer to you.
