Looking for a Chat

Hi there,

I'm looking for somewhere to chat to someone about how I'm feeling? Is there a live chat section or similar here?

thanks

Hi @AustralianWoman, welcome to the forums

SANE does indeed have a chat function, you can head to this page and click where it says "Chat to us" and when a counsellor is available, they will respond.

If they're busy or if it's outside of their operating hours (10am-10pm) and you're in need of more immediate support, Lifeline (link), Suicideline (link), and Suicide Callback Service (link) also have chat options available.

Feel free to also explore the forums, respond in threads and make your own posts if you want to talk about your experiences with the lovely community here.
