Hey Rothman, welcome to the Beyond Blue forums. We know it can be tricky to create the first post so thank you for having the strength to do so. We're so sorry to hear how difficult your journey has been and how unsupportive your partner and family appear to be. We can imagine it would've felt so hurtful to hear your partner say to 'off yourself'. Is there anything that has made you feel happier or calmer in the past? Was going to hospital a positive expereince for you? It sounds as though you are needing some support and we want you to know that there is help available to you.
Please do feel free to contact the Beyond Blue Support Service anytime via our Webchat (no webcam needed) 3pm-12am AEST here: www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport One of the friendly counsellors can offer you some support but also provide you with advice and referrals for seeing a counsellor in a more ongoing way if this is something you feel would be beneficial.

Ive tried beyond blue, lifeline, suicide call back, butterfly.. they all either call cops&ambo(twice. went to hospital. twice. dismissed with a card that i threw out.. couldnt talk in person alone?)
/ask me to go to gp. which isnt an option due to my own anxiety and boyfriend giving up. no friends or family?
Similar story except the boyfriend im alone, i don't know what to do either. But whatever advice you get here TRY all of them and let me know if you find something. And stop self harming iv just been looking at myself thinking you look like a anorexic gutted fish ( no one's going to want me ) hang in there and i hope your story turns out better

Hi, it sounds like you are caught between a rock and a hard place - difficult for you to get help and possible evictions.
Can I ask if your boyfriend does not want you to go to a GP alone? Or he won't with you either?
When I first saw my psychologist she suggested that I get two apps on my phone which have been very helpful to me.
While professional help would be advantageous, perhaps self education, reading and listening to podcasts could give you some ideas. I would also listen to you in this space if you liked. You have started a new journey here and sometime venting and writing here can be helpful. You made a start with the initial post. The people here are supportive and non-judgemental.
I can't go alone I'm scared/lie. Boyfriend says he gives up with me, I gotta be a big girl. He wants me to go alone. But i can't?? Been trying so much by self but lack motivation?
I haven't got help, and like u said its really hard to. And i dont think people understand that from our point of view....all advice is go to gp... i know its really frustrating reaching out for help and just being given the 1 advice that you can't do .
