Hi @helpmeifyoucan
I’m really sorry to hear that things are so difficult for you at the moment. Breaking up with your long term partner is a huge deal... no wonder you're feeling so overwhelmed. When you've been with someone for a long time, it can feel bizarre and really isolating to suddenly not be in that relationship anymore. Can I ask, did the break up take you by surprise or have you known it was on the horison for a while?
Having suicidal thoughts can be really scary and overwhelming, so it’s really important to speak with someone. You have shown great courage in reaching out for help & I encourage you to keep doing that 🙂 If you continue to feel really low today, you can contact one of the following services for more support. You don’t deserve to go through this alone.
Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat
Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling
You could also ring your psychologist and speak with them over the phone if you don't have it in you to go to your appointment today. Sometimes just talking things over on the phone can really help. Perhaps you could book in to see them tomorrow or the next day, whenever you're feeling more up to it.
If you can't leave the house today, that's okay. Maybe you just need a day to take stock and rest? Perhaps you could use the rest of the day to do something loving and nurturing and just take care of yourself today. When I'm having a low day, I like to have a hot shower, get into bed, and fall asleep watching youtube videos 🙂 How about you?
I know you're feeling really alone right now, as I said that's understandable. But remember you're not alone - we are here for you as a community. You're welcome to keep hanging out on here for some more comfort and distraction if that's helpful. Take care.
