I have been dealing with D and A and having some thoughts that scare me.... I'm not sure what to do.

Hello caysee,

Welcome,  you are in the right place, thank you for reaching out for some help. Many of us here have been dealing with depression and anxiety and we do our best to help. I think your first move should be to contact the Beyond Blue helpline and talk about what you are experiencing so they can get an idea of what type of help would be best for you. No one wants to be plagued by scary thoughts, so I feel for you, but right now I think you need the help line more than the forum. You can always come back to this post and let us know how you are doing or if you just want to talk about things, we will be here. You are not alone.

sending you hugs,

indigo22

Hello caysee,

Thank you for your post! It sounds like you've come here seeking some advice and maybe aren't sure what to share or what to do. As indigo22 suggested, the beyondblue helpline (1300 224 636) has some really kind people who are trained to help talk you through whatever is going on.

The forums here are also just a great space to share with the wider community whatever and whenever you feel comfortable sharing. I am not sure if you've had a chance to read some other people's posts, but I hope you will find others here you relate to. It's a very safe space, and I like to think that we can all feel stronger as a community, no matter how difficult our own individual problems.
