I want to join this community as a supporting person for my family back in India. This person is very close to me like my own son and his condition is affecting me mentally. I would really appreciate if I can get some help to save a young life.

I hope you find some support here to help you with your son. </P> <P>Supporting family through their mental health conditions is really important. It can make a big difference to their health and well being. </P> <P>However, it is also important to look after yourself, too. It can be physically and emotionally draining and you mention that it is already affecting your mental health. </P> <P>Beyond Blue has some great resources to help you provide support and to ensure you look after yourself while doing it. <A href="https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/supporting-someone">https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/supporting-someone</A>&nbsp;</P> <P>Also feel free to post in one of the specific forums if you need help with advice or support on a certain topic (i.e. depression / anxiety).</P> <P>Kind thoughts, Jess</P> <P> </P> Tue, 14 Jul 2020 09:12:07 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/seeking-help-to-save-a-life/m-p/472221#M25093 jess334 2020-07-14T09:12:07Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/seeking-help-to-save-a-life/m-p/472222#M25094 <P>Hi and welcome to beyond blue. You sound like a very caring and supportive person to look after this person. Jess has provided a link to a bunch off pages containing useful information. I am unsure of attitudes towards mental health in India, but I hope you are able to continue to help him on this journey and he might be able see better days. The simple act of listening and showing goes a long way in helping another feel not so isolated.</P> <P>Tim</P> Tue, 14 Jul 2020 11:27:44 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/seeking-help-to-save-a-life/m-p/472222#M25094 smallwolf 2020-07-14T11:27:44Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/seeking-help-to-save-a-life/m-p/472223#M25095 <P>Hi <STRONG>aditya</STRONG></P> <P>It seems like you have gotten some great responses, dialogue from people already- has any of it resonated with you?
