Hey Nicole,
Welcome to our online community, we are so grateful that you reached out to us here tonight. We're so sorry to hear that you're feeling so low, and we can hear that these overwhelming feelings must be even more difficult to cope with due to what's happening in your family at the moment. It sounds as though you are needing some extra support and we want you to know that these forums are a safe space for you to express yourself, and our community is here to provide you with as much support, advice and conversation as you need.
It's great to hear that you have booked an appointment with a health professional. We think it's really strong of you and so important that you have been so proactive in recognising you need some help and seeking it. We recognise that this must be an overwhelming situation for you, so we just wanted to let you know that if you find yourself feeling particularly overwhelmed before receiving further mental health support, please know that there is always help available to you.
The kind counsellors at the Beyond Blue Support Service are always there for you- day or night- on 1300 22 4636, or you can also reach out to our friends at Lifeline on 13 11 14 who can provide support and advice 24/7. Please do feel free to use these services to talk through what's on your mind when it's feeling like too much to cope with.
Many in our community have also been through a lot in their lives and will be able to talk through these feelings with you. If you would like to post further, please feel free to tell us more about what's on your mind and how we can best support you through this.
