Hi Shane,

Welcome to the forums! It's nice to see a new face.

If you need to talk about your problems, I'm happy to listen.

Hi Shane,

You don't have to tell me everything. I have stuff that I've never told anyone. It can be so hard to trust someone, even someone you know really well. Especially when telling it the first time.

You could start with something very general. Maybe how you are feeling or something that has been bothering you lately. You don't have to start with your most hidden secrets! 🙂

It's entirely up to you if you want to talk or not.

Hi Shane,

It sounds like you've got a lot of problems in your life, and you're overwhelmed. I can't imagine how you must be feeling. If there's no one you feel you can talk to, maybe consider seeing a counsellor/psychologist?

Please don't be too hard on yourself - everyone makes bad choices.

Hi Shane,

That's great to hear! Taking some steps toward getting support is a good start.

Hope you get some sleep tonight.

Take care of yourself,

Hi Mia,

I only just saw your post, I'm doing ok thanks trying to keep myself busy.get things sorted.

Just done my motorcycle L plate course on the weekend, am pretty happy about that am really keen to get out on my bike and go for a ride,

Also been flat out working on my new house, it was a mess when I moved in a few weeks back but starting to get it sorted.

Thanks for asking anyway hows things with you ?

Hi Shane,

It's good to hear that you're going okay. Sounds like you've got heaps of stuff to keep you busy! Its good that you've got your L's - having your own transport can be so important. (Hey, and a motorbike would be so fun!)

Yeah, I'm not too bad. I've been having some problems with anxiety related to harrassment/work problems. I was seeing a TAFE counsellor until I finished my course a few months ago. Just had my first psychologist appointment which went really well. I'm so relieved. It's great to have someone to talk to. I'll be housesitting starting tomorrow which is exciting. Looking forward to that! I'm also trying to get my P's but I think it'll take me the rest of the year to get my hours up.

Anyway, I really have to go!!

Take care,

Mia
