Vent and then let it go...

[Guest_1055]

Not sure about anyone else but sometimes I just need to vent, including venting any frustrations, fears, hopes, worries, longings and anything else. Most of the time I don't want any advice or any responses. Just need a way to get it all out from within me.

So thought this thread could be for those sort of things. No one replys to you with words or anything. It's a place to let it all go. Just dump whatever it is you want to say and leave it here.

So yeah no replys please.

Things repeat & I'm so sad for that, & some people really make me angry. & I despair some people will ever stop doing what they do, from one generation to the next, & next, & forever, like, can't humans rise up more than we have, or have we risen as much as we will ever be able?

I need to change....sick of being a doormat...but can’t do nothing about it...I need to find some courage 😢.

Hi Ggrand,

I'm sorry to hear you have been feeling this way. I have definitely felt like a doormat in the past! When you realise you are being taken advantage of it is incredibly eye opening (and can be very painful). The first step is realising what is happening which you are doing, I have hope in you that you will find the courage you need!

Recently I have been feeling the stress of finding a new job. I keep self-excluding myself even though everyone around me tells me what an amazing candidate I would be and honestly the silly thing is that I know I am very hardworking and qualified. It is so difficult sometimes to remind myself of my good qualities. I read once that we can be our own best cheerleader or worst enemy. I think these feelings of self-doubt might have begun in my psychology degree when we had to get the highest marks in order to keep passing through each hoop (i.e. next stages like honours).

Some days I feel like I've grown out of it and sometimes it creeps back. What I like to do is to remind myself that each day is a new day and sometimes after a good night sleep and seeing the sun shine the next day I remind myself that there is hope.

I am really grateful to threads like these where we can let out all our feelings!

Really? I can't seem to. ... so what can I say?

I'm really bothered & I can't explain.

just shut up again.

Sorry Missep, that wasn't meant to be directed at you. I ought to have used the Reply button at the top right.

I'm just bleeping angry. hurt & disappointed, so much of one of my posts was removed, it makes me feel I am being silenced..

You must go food addiction, you will no longer hold me as a slave or in chains. I am free

Feeling trapped in this house. Tradies are outside doing work. I didn't know they were coming. Wish they would go. Scared of being seen by them

[Guest_1055]

Thought they went, then they came back quite quick and are now parked behind my car. I cannot deal or talk with people currently. Too scared to. Trapped feeling.. I don't like it... Can't leave the house either, I will be seen. This is ridiculous.. Thought I had grown out of this kind of panic

Hi Shelll,

We're so sorry to hear this. Please know that we're here and if you give our counsellors a call on 1300 22 4636, we can talk through the way you're feeling. They're amazing at helping people through panic like this. If you'd prefer webchat, here it is.

Another option is checking out Lifeline's advice on getting through a panic attack, and thier panic attack toolkit. There's also this previous thread where some lovely community members have shared some really practical advice on getting through anxiety attacks.

We hope that helps. Feel free to share an update if you feel comfortable to. 

Kind regards,
