Hey Bluemoo7,

We know that it can be really difficult to reach out when you're feeling so low, and we're really grateful that you decided to take such a big and important step in sharing your thoughts and feelings here with us. We're so sorry to hear that you've been struggling with these intense feelings, but please know that you've come to safe, non-judgemental space to talk things through and our community is here to offer as much support, advice and conversation as you need through this. We really hope that being part of this community can bring you some comfort and help you to feel a little less alone.

Can we ask, do you currently have any mental health support? We understand it can be really tough to cope sometimes, but please know that support is always here for you. If you would like some help finding mental health support, we would really encourage you to reach out to our Beyond Blue Support Service. The friendly counsellors are available 24/7 by phone on 1300 22 4636 or on Webchat 1pm-12am AEST on our website: www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport and can offer support and advice, as well as referrals to help you through this. 

In addition to this, our friends at Lifeline (13 11 14) and Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467) are also available to you anytime, day or night, during overwhelming moments, or whenever things are feeling like too much to cope with- you never have to go through this alone. 

Many of our members here will also be able to relate to feeling this way at difficult times 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 help support you. We're all here for you.

Hi , I'm so glad you came back online sorry if it is not funny but the description of yourself well it sounds oddly familiar to me. Just take it slow and try to appreciate each small task you complete. 1st good task was posting and so forth, Please stay online cause your down to earth vibe is actually really nice. Bye

Thanks amberlite
My husband is a great support but he can't read my mind and if I tell him how I feel he just wants to fix it and then gets upset if he can't
I just need to talk to someone who understands

Oh I understand my husband is similar, my hubby likes me using this site as it has been helpful to me and to us. There are threads that are word games I like to play them and I'm also being passively social, cause the games depend on others. I hope your doing well and will stay around, see you later.
