I feel dead inside and I don’t know how much strength I have left. It’s a constant battle 😕

Hi @rockypug
I feel very alone to be honest. I've tried every single Australian helpline apart from calling 000. I'm tired now. I've taken some stuff to help me sleep & I'll see what tomorrow brings. I've felt alone most of my life. I asked for help some years ago. I've asked for help tonight. I don't feel supported anymore. I'm a childhood sexual abuse survivor, I managed on my own before, I guess that's what it will have to be? It breaks my heart, like every bit of news that undermines our experience, protects the abusers etc we didn't have a voice back then, the world doesn't want to hear us now. Let me die, let me live, my choice

Who can I contact to and where can I go when I have nowhere else to go? I've been to the emergency departments, it's not like there's really any help there, all I knew was they were keeping my vitals going, put a security guard and place and speak to a junior psych a couple of times. And decided if I needed to eat scheduled which didn't happen. There's not really any help out there

Hi @Former-Member ,
I wish I had some answers for you. It's hard to reach out for help, especially if it hasn't been the best of experiences previously. I admire you for trying and for holding on like you are. Hang in there. ![]()

Hi
I hope you're coping ok. Thank you for the messages. I feel there's nothing left for me to ask. I probably won't have the guts anyway and I guess everyone knows that, as I tried and failed, tried and failed. It's funny, I don't think really want to leave anything, the hurt and pain, but have this other land and I think I'd like to live there. I'll be happy in other land. I'll be painting all day 😊

Hey @Former-Member
Just checking in, seeing how you're travelling today. I'm also a little concerned about your post but it's a bit ambiguous - is the 'other land' where you'll be happy referring to thoughts of afterlife?
Feel free to respond here or even email us if you'd like (team@saneforums.org) and we can chat ![]()

Hi @Jynx
I tried to get in touch with helplines. Other land is nice. It used to be my imaginary safe place, but it's so much more now. Everything I like is in other land and I'm safe in other land, no one can hurt me there. 😊
