I just need to vent

[Parabola]

Hi all,

This is my first post so I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place, please let me know if I need to remove it.

I woke up this morning and this is what I was feeling. I might be feeling down because this is the first Christmas that I have spent without family. But these thoughts have been lingering in my mind for a lot of my life. Can anyone please point me in the right direction to help reconcile my thoughts. I think I might need help.

Merry Christmas.

Hi Parabola,

Firstly, welcome to the forums and good on you for having the courage to make that first post! 😊

You said that you were feeling down, and that this has been lingering. It’s possible that you have depression, so I think the best thing to do would be to see your GP. They can check for depression and refer to a counsellor/psych if needed.

I’m sorry no one has replied sooner. If you want to talk more, I’m always here to listen and I’ll try to help. I’d love to hear back from you if you’re comfortable doing so.

All the best,

Mia

Hi Para welcome & yes you're in the right place

As Mia said a GP can start the ball rolling for you, psychs can be of great help & guidance & fantastic release as here can be too if you want to talk more about what you think maybe also pulling you down.

No hassles here, support & people listening.

You sound like you're missing your family, will you be able to see them in the future? In touch?

Sometimes posts depending on volume can take a while
You're on our threads now and same as Mia when I'm around happy to be by your side

Hope to see you again 🙂
