I am currently in a beautiful relationship with a beautiful girl who also has a beautiful daughter (6yo).... but, still inside me something isnt right..... I am struggling to take that first step.... I am thinking of trying the Beyond Blue Web chat this afternoon after work..... is that a good place for me to start???

Hi metAL

Sorry I just read your message now.  I would definitely try the web chat with Beyond blue.  I have tried it a few times when in distress and the counsellors were very supportive and caring.  I did feel better after chatting to them on line.  It was hard making that first move but I'm glad I did.

I hope you have tried the web chat service.  Please get back to us and let us know how you go.

Take care

Jo
