Guess it could be worse?

[Shifte]

Be prepared for a life story, but I feel I need to write it. (sorry) TRIGGER WARNING.

I wrote my life story but was way more than the 2500 Characters. So Guess I'll just say Hi and i'm 7 days sober, but still feeling super unwell and wanting to end it all. I have been going though the redress scheme over the last year and it's really triggering. Is there anyway I can share my story, that is longer than the 2500 words? Thanks.

Hi Shifte,

We can hear it's been a difficult time and we want to make sure you know that the Beyond Blue counsellors, and the community on the forums are here for you.

Unfortunately we are not able to publish posts of over 2500 characters. The word limit is in place to encourage conversation and dialogue, and to give members the best opportunity to have their stories read and absorbed. For future reference, you can find our posting rules here: http://www.beyondblue.org.au/connect-with-others/community-rules  

We try to encourage back and forth conversation, which can be better facilitated with shorter posts. We encourage you to still let us know what is happening for you and what kind of support you might like. We hope this space can be a safe place to discuss your mental health journey and gain support from our lovely community.

If you do want to speak to our lovely counsellors, we’d welcome your call on 1300 22 4636 or via webchat: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support

Kind regards,
Sophie M
