I feel the need to cry so much but the tears won't come. I can feel them building up inside. I feel lost, lonely sometimes, i want to try and get my life back but it seems so far away. I feel down, i would like some company, someone to wrap their arms around me and tell me it's going to b ok. I want to just break down sometimes but i can't and it just tears me up inside.

Hey Chris,

It's Jo, your friend!!

Please remember that I am here and I am sending you a big hug, putting my arms around you now.

Chris, crying is hard for some because we tend to hold it all in. And you want to let it go but you can't. If you could cry, even a little, it will help, you will release some emotion that you have kept inside for a long time.

Believe me, I know, I kept a lot of my emotion inside for a very very long time. And now I cry quite a lot.

Chris, you are always in our thoughts. Please stay strong, believe in yourself and you can get through this difficult time. I believe in you and I know you can do it!!

Jo xx

Hi Chris

Hang in there my friend. I'm hearing you loud and clear with the wanting to cry but how the tears won't come.

I thought seeing my brother the other day would have bought them, but no, we greeted and hugged and we chatted and when we left, it was hug and again and he said to me at that time, to hang in there and be strong. It was nice to hear those words from someone you love and someone you know, who loves you. But still the tears wouldn't come.

I hear everything you say Chris, and mate, I wish I could be there and give you a supporting hug to you. I can send one via this medium ... and for you to know that you have friends who care so much about you here.

Do you have any pets? I only ask that, cause I have my dog (and I know a number of other posters on this site have pets ... or mainly dogs from what I can gather) and my dog is such a source of support. It's amazing that an animal (dog) can tell when you're upset/sad ... they see that and my dog comes up to me and sits beside me real close and puts his sad eyes on. And you know what, they love you unconditionally. It was just something on my mind to write this out ... just in case, i mean you may already have one.

Please write back to us and let us know how you're going today?

Cheers

Neil

No I don't have facebook or yahoo

Have you tried phoning Beyondblue support line or Lifeline?

People on here don't judge, so you can say whatever you think. But you write or talk when you feel you can, no one is pushing you, Get back when you feel okay about writing, no pressure. We all want to help you, and we are here for you.

Only just want to say if you are feeling really upset and need support now, you should call the number on top corner.

Hi Anthony and Chris,

There are no stigmas here on this website. Just honesty and support. All the people I have posted to and have posted back to me (only been on a few months) are in my thoughts on a daily basis and visa versa. So no-one is alone. We have each other's backs and that is what we all need most of all! To be accepted just as we are, in our own space, in the good and bad times without judgment. And you have it here. Love to you all - Suz xx

Hi Chris;

Cheers

Hi Anthony

Just so we don't get mixed up between yourself and Chris, do you think you could create a post? I'm not wanting to be pushy, but I think if you can post up your own thread, we can then dedicate solely to working to assist you on that thread?

Again, not wanting to push and only if you feel comfortable in doing that, but if you could and perhaps write a little more about what you're/how you're suffering, there's so many generous people on here and no doubt quite a number who will be able to relate with how you're feeling.

Cheers

Neil

Thinking of you

Hi Jo,

Thankyou for your posts. The first one that you posted where you say your putting your arms around me really touched me, everytime i read that post i can feel your arms around me Thankyou.

To everyone else from the bottom of my heart i say thankyou for your kind words and support.

I'm not to bad thanks for asking Jo. You will get through your pain barrier Jo it just takes time. You have experienced some things in your past that are just so cruel and no one should have to go through.

Remember Stay Strong,Stay Safe and Be Defiant.

Kind Regards

Chris
