I have experienced those times when I just wanted to give up, but having an animal always make you think twice.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I can relate to the finances as well, life is really difficult with the high inflation, how to make ends meet seems to be the main issue for most people these days. Having a partner who is a pendulum doesn't make things any easier for you. What are you studying? (only if you feel like sharing).</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So how can we help?</P><P>We can chat as often as you wish but is there something in particular you would like some help or advice with?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>indigo</P> Sun, 21 Dec 2025 10:03:21 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/the-only-thing-stopping-me/m-p/616480#M56224 indigo22 2025-12-21T10:03:21Z
