It’s not a nice place to be. Hugs to you.</P><P>I think it’s awesome that you’ve reached out here, I know it takes both courage and strength. The great thing about this community is that everyone “gets” mental health and there are many people here who can support you as you seek to heal.</P><P>I’m wondering if you have spoken with your doctor? If not, this would be a good place to start. Your GP can assess your mental health, put a care plan in place and make referral(s) to an appropriate mental health practitioner.<BR />How do you feel about that idea? There’s no pressure to respond, but if you want to chat please share what you feel comfortable with.</P><P>Kind thoughts to you&nbsp;</P> Sat, 22 Apr 2023 08:26:52 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/depressed-and-flat/m-p/563916#M49952 Summer Rose 2023-04-22T08:26:52Z
