Introduction - Hello Everyone

[Guest_498]

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 40 years of age, female. My interests include music (any genre), reading a great novel, watching comedy, Restuaranting, and learning new things. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Depression feels very lonely for me. I'd like to reach out for some support. Thank you.

I'm struggling to edit any more of my statements. I was hoping to lodge complaint in a few days. I don't think I can. I'm tired already and haven't even begun the battle yet. pfftt.

It's understandable, this stuff is mentally exhausting.

Give yourself some time off.

Come back to it if you can after that.

This is why reports die in the water. It takes so many resources to follow through.
Time and energy is the biggie.

When it all started for me I wanted to done and behind me asap. Took years which I didn't see coming.

But I'm so glad I didn't give in.

Hey sweet lady,

I won't give up. Did you see the report on 4corners last night? It was so sad. The mental health system is broken to the point where people are not receiving help because of their lack of resources, inadequate care etc. And, I keep thinking about how much resources were used to set me up. It's really sad. And I'm left now to pay to fix the damages they caused to my home. Not to mention the resources that'll need to 'fix' my mental health. It isn't right. I worked on editing it again last night and I broke down. It's still so raw and still so painful. Thanks for your support and ears. You've been a god-sent. Love xx

Hi Bluberry,

Well done, you've got this letter in motion even though it's so difficult, raw and painful for you. That's how it is for me too.

The broken system is a joke. They're way of helping is by locking you up and shoving pills down your throat, making so many people feel so much worse.

They have been my personal nightmare.

I'm glad you are speaking up. The more aware ppl are the better. All these going-on's behind closed doors should be exposed.

Hi ecomama I agree with you this mentally stuff is exhausting and the added stress definitely does not help either but long story short all I can say is: 😡

[Guest_498]

Thank you sweet lady. Just wanted to say that my thoughts are with you through this horrendous time for you. Just reach out whenever you need to vent. xx

hello Mocha_Delight,

Yes, it IS mentally exhausting. I hope you're doing fine. 🙂 x

[Guest_498]

So ladies (Ecomama, Mocha_Delight, Monkey_magic), I have gone with my gut instincts and chosen my flatmate. I hope I've made the right choice. He seems nice enough. 🙂

The one I initially leaned towards, I decided to go against because when I set the boundaries with him, he got really offended. I didn't feel comfortable when he sent me inappropriate messages - I know I'm hot (just joking) but was uncalled for. I didn't feel comfortable. Hopefully, this one is right.

Hi Bluberry,

Men,huh. I had a flatmate that was like that- sending in appropriate messages and it just got worse from there. Glad you have him the boot.

Hopefully this can be someone you get along well with and bounce ideas off...or maybe you both want to live independently. Whatever works for you both.
I hope this one is right also.

Hey,

yes, I know I've made the right choice - I didn't feel comfortable. I know right, men!! pffft. I've been living independently, it gets very boring and lonely. I'm looking for someone to chat with and hang out with.
