I think conversations on the hotline provide temporary reliefs, which won't just alleviate my pains and struggles but it gave me a sense of hope. It could take a much longer time for us to start to feel something works, to feel better. Does the person you talked to provide some information relevant? Such as what kind of support around you that you could access at the moment.&nbsp;</P><P>Always welcome to share more here, whether you want to question, vent, or just share your thoughts.
