Thankyou for you joining us on the forums, we hope that you can enjoy this warm and welcoming community. We are sorry to hear that you are not feeling well right now and that you are lonely at the moment. There is nothing to be sorry about, we are really glad that you have had the courage to share how you are feeling. We know that it can be really tough, especially with all that is going on right now, when we feel like we aren't connecting with others. Feeling like you are on the outside is really tough, but also really common. What is wonderful is that you have shown the strength to say you are feeling low, that is a great step on the journey to feeling better.
We think that it could be a great idea to talk to our friends at Kids Helpling on 1800 55 1800 or by trying out their webchat. They are experts at helpling people who feel they way you do right now and can be incredibly helpful.
You can also call us on 1300 22 4636 and one of our team will help you process these feelings and help you search for other supports.
Thank you again for sharing your experiences with us, it can be really tough to take that first step but now that you have we hope that you can see how brave you have been. Please feel free to update us on how you are feeling if you are comfortable.
Kind regards,
Sophie M

Thanks Sophie. I have contacted Kids Helpline in the past, when stuff really went off the rails and it helped a bit. I might try it again but I really want to give these forums a try, they seem cool.

Hey Amber, Sophie's post was very thoughtful and kind, I'm glad you got that when you were feeling down as well. Yeah I've been on this forum for less than a day and already really nice people are responding.
