I have battled on and off with depression and anxiety for over 20 years.... 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
