Hello,
Welcome and thank you for reaching out to us.
You have a lot to deal with and I am sorry to hear how weighed down you are feeling at present. I have been in the dark hole and I know how difficult it is to pull yourself out of it.
The first thing I would like to advise is not to try and manage this alone, we all need help when we are facing big life challenges as you are. Do you have any support at present, family, friends, counselling?
I am adding information for a helpline that would be very helpful to you at present, you can call this number 24/7 when you are struggling and speak to someone in real time. They will also be able to give you information on supports available in your area. They deal with abuse and domestic violence every day so please put the number into your phone so you have access to help when you need it.
1800Respect - 1800 737 732
We will also be here to support you when you want to talk, you don't need to feel alone.
If you enjoy reading, I can suggest some titles that may be of help to you, please just let me know.
You may also find getting out in nature for a walk helpful, along a beach, botanical garden, etc.
Journaling can also be beneficial in helping you sort through your emotions, listening to music that you love, a creative expression of some kind, drawing, painting, etc.
Please feel free to continue this conversation if you wish.
Thinking of you,
indigo
