Hello, My story is so huge with so many parts that I don't know where or how to start... But I know I need help. I have been in this situation and head space before, so I am terrified and feel just as lost as back then. I experienced 2 yrs of emotional abuse from my sister in-law which came to a head at the hardest time in my life, resulting is a mental breakdown and PTSD. I moved away and started to heal and feel more myself, only we have recently moved back and the first time I was at the place I broke, I had a panic attack and realised I hadn't fully healed as I had thought.. But then I saw her for the first time in nearly 6 yrs and Everything has come crashing back like it was yesterday. Now I don't know what to do. I have no emotional support. I am fortunate to have a loving husband who has been there with me, but he doesn't fully understand and isn't good with emotional support and he just shuts down when he sees me so distressed... and professional help is unfortunately out of my financial reach. I desperately want to heal, to be able to function without fear around my family.

Hey and I apologise if I am posting in the wrong place but am new I honestly don’t know what to do I have my own apartment, my own business and a stable life but no matter what I do I can’t get dates or even friendship. I have tried singles events, so many online sites and it always ends the same one date then a message saying they just want to be friends…I remember when personalities and a stable financial life was important now it’s just looks and money guess I don’t have enough money or good looks so am at my wits end I am hoping everyday I find someone but not sure how much longer I can keep fooling myself any advice is appreciated thanks for reading hope your all doing better then me 😞

Hello to our wonderful forums community! We have decided to run an ongoing Big Blue Table thread ‘Forums Edition’ until the end of October! 🎉 What is a Big Blue Table? Big Blue Table is Beyond Blue's signature event held during October, Mental Health Month. Big Blue Table encourages people host a meal with their friends, family or colleagues while fighting the stigma that surrounds mental health. So why are we running one here? The reason we are doing this is so people have an opportunity to connect with others and have the experience of sharing their thoughts and feelings over a meal, no matter where they are in Australia. We know Mental Health Month can be a vulnerable time for many and believe this thread could be a safe space for people to be heard and learn from others’ experiences. Our community champions will be here to support you along the way, and our moderation team will be around to answer any questions you may have, as well as to ensure the thread remains respectful and safe for everyone. We encourage you to choose from the following questions to start a conversation: What do you do to look after your mental health? Are you comfortable sharing your feelings and emotions? If not, why? What are you passionate about, and why? Who would be your dream Big Blue Table guest, and why? After you have shared your answers, we would love to hear about what you are eating or bringing to the table. You can even tell us a little bit about your setup and what you can see around you to really immerse us into your world. This is your opportunity to be as creative as you’d like! But remember, there is no pressure or ‘right’ response, whatever you bring to the table will be more than enough. 💙 We hope this thread allows you to feel connected, supported, and a part of the Big Blue Table initiative. Now… get cooking!

I lived in Thailand beforeAnd I really didnt like the foodMost people rave about Thai food and I understand because it does smell goodCrazy huh.In Thailand most foods centre around chicken and pork and seafood and beef not so much.But an interesting thing I noted about Thai men was their politeness and eagerness to helpBut also thai people are shy to talk because if they cant speak English they feel embarrassed Im the one who should feel embarrassed I would get my interpreter to say to them.Thailand is what they call a developing country but in my time there I saw a country so far advanced in areas than Australia is I became unwell and was seeing a pyschiatrist straight away no wait time. The community spirit there is superior to here and it rare to hear a car beep a horn because everyone on road is courtesy minded.I have heard of Australians shiver at the mention of going to a dentist in South eastern countries Their hygiene professionalism the whole dentist experience is on par if not better than here in Aus and fraction of price. The money saved on dental work is enough to have a holiday while you are thereI have so much respect for thai people. Anyway just some light conversationIf anybody wants to know anything about medical in Thai you can talk on here from my experience.

Hello everyone, I don't know if it has been posted here before, but does beyond blue have an app? I tried looking, but I could not find anything. Just wanted to know because a lot of forums these days have their own apps.
